Hi all, I'm new to Triumph and am wondering about whether to buy an early '90s model. This will be quite a change for me, but I need a practical two up long...
Well for one thing there is really not that big of a technology jump other then electric start and no points. Other then that try to buy the newest you can...
There's the confusion, Tom. You're correct that RaceTech recommends US3 oil (15wt) for '99+ Trophy3 and all Trophy4's, but look at the rec for 95-'98 Trophy3....
That's brave! I don't think I would trust my bikes to an oil called "Wally blue jug"! Its actually Rhotella full synthetic...now new and improved (as read on...
... Not that much of a leap. CDI ignition, carbs, conventional clocks, more reliable electrics. My love for Laverdas makes me tend towards the 900 rather than ...

Howdy Friend, I have a '95 BRG Trophy 1200/4, and have zero experience with any of the other models. I can say that I think the '95 back models seem to be a...
Hi Chris, The fairing is smaller on the Trophy before 1996. More sport than touring. The triple engines are the same. They had Mikuni carbs until 1998. The...
jESUS man. You have over 200k on your trophy. You need to contact Triumph and have theme give you a new bike for free. That is amazing. Ok I guess now I am...

Ok - I'm certain there is a problem with the alternator - hope it doesn't die before I get home tonight! I remember a post somewhere in here about being...
Hi Chris, Go for the early 90's bike. They look better and you shouldn't find anything wrong with it mechanically. My 900 Trophy has done 71000 miles and still...
This is a 98 model which I though was in the range? must phone the dealer with the VIN and see if they have any info. Also the alternator works perfectly -...
