Faults:

Nothing yet. The bike has been well maintained by the previous owner.

General Comments:

I purchased the bike for a fun ride and an investment. These bikes seem to be rare here, so it may increase in value. I had an issue with cold starts when I first got the bike, but have overcome it by using full choke and only short goes on the starter; normally two is enough. I found by holding the starter on, waiting for it to fire, I would almost flatten the battery. This tip may help others.

Some say it's an ugly duck, but I don't mind it. It's fun to ride and very different to the Thunderbird.

Faults:

Nothing, just general services, tire and oil changes etc.

General Comments:

Sure glad I bought it. It's great value, cheap but reliable. My wife and I have went on long trips and rallies, and always got home safe and sound with no breakdowns or problems.

Faults:

No problems so far. The motorcycle has shown signs of long storage/ new machine. It looks as if it has just come out of the factory.

General Comments:

The motorcycle is a good re-introduction to motorcycling after a 30 year lay off. It is exactly what I was looking for.

It has comparative power to my old BMW, 70bhp.

It is a well behaved machine with good handling and excellently balanced brakes.

It tops out at around 120mph. Speeds over 75mph are somewhat painful these days.

It is distinctive, and turns heads whenever I ride it in Florida.

I have just ridden about 350 miles this weekend.

30 years ago, I would not have considered a Triumph. The product and company was problematical. Hence the purchase of the BMW. Today it is a different story.

Faults:

Needed the battery replacing.

General Comments:

This is my first bike, after hitting the high 40's and returning to biking, and I looooove it.

Faults:

The tachometer broke, but was replaced under the warranty.

The front fork seals have been replaced 3 times due to leaking.

General Comments:

I really enjoy this motorcycle. After riding a 400 for 7 years, moving to a 900 was an amazing feeling. For a cruiser I feel this motorcycle handles incredibly well. I have been to several rallies, and always ride with the sport riders and have much fun while keeping up. It has a great power band from 3-8,000 that pulls all the way.

The stock seat is somewhat uncomfortable on long rides.

The small tank allows for a range of about 120 miles. Which is not nearly enough for the lonely roads out west.

Above 70mph the vibration in the handlebars is somewhat annoying on long rides.

I need a windscreen!

I get some kind of comment every place I take it. A real head turner with very distinctive looks and a beautiful Triumph badge that attracts much attention (this really angers my riding buddy on his BMW:) )
