Motorcycle specifications Triumph1200 TROPHY 1997 English Tourism
Triumph is elegantly present in the GT category with its Trophy 1200. This elegant machine is also available in a 3-cylinder, 900 cm3 version. Unfortunately, its career has been overshadowed by the likes of Japan and Germany. Wrongly so, because this tourer deserves to be known and recognized. Tackling the Pan-European and the R 1150 RT is no easy task. The Trophy stands out with its pleasing styling, rounded forms and British class.
The engine is a 4-cylinder, the same as the previous generation, powerful and available. There was no reason to change this mill, so remarkable is it. The only thing that could have been done would have been to attenuate certain engine noises. The machine is generous with its mechanics, and equally so with its occupants. The fairing provides excellent protection, comfort is high-level (with a well-balanced seat and suspension), and equipment is plentiful. Admittedly, the cardan shaft is missing, but side cases are standard. Although the center of gravity is relatively high (and still...), driving the Trophy is a pleasure. This tourer is alert and efficient, even allowing you to drive it at full throttle. The 1200 cm3 always keeps its head up, at the cost of a certain appetite. Doubtless due to a lack of image, the Trophy is too rare on our roads. And yet, it deserves its rightful place as one of the best in its class.

One drawback: it's hard to start it from cold. If a biker can give me a trick to improve starting.
Otherwise powerful engine. Pleasant to ride. Comfortable even for the passenger. Reasonable fuel consumption if speed limits are respected. Rating : 4/5 Respond to Yves
very nice aesthetics riding position for a big guy like me, as well as for my wife and kids as passengers. Rating : 4/5 Respond to sebou137
i've been riding it at weekends for 1 year now, and I find it a pleasure to ride, even with its 280 kilo weight. The only drawback is that the weight is a handicap for handling it at a standstill, but the aim is to ride it Rating : 4/5 Respond to vinc
