Wow. 140,000km is good going👍 I had a few electrical problems with the bike when I first bought it but now they seem to be sorted, the bike feels like it will go forever. Such a good engine.
I bought one New in 1997. Loved that engine! Was a great bike. One day we rode a hunderd miles on a Really Windy afternoon. It was horrible in cross winds! I've had many different bikes but never had a bike so bad. Got home and asked the wife to get on my old FLHS. She refused but I couldn't resist the wind. It was never affected like my trophy was.
Thanks. They’re great bikes. My dad has a ‘92 Trident and they’re both so much fun to ride. The Trophy is more comfortable but I was surprised how much faster the Trident is. Hopefully I’ll get round to posting a video of it one day.
That's a fantastic bike. I had a Trident in the 90s and as I was missing that 3-cylinders, recently I bought a Sprint 900 1997, green too. The only thing I don't like much is the height and angle of handlebars. I think your bike had originally the same bars as mine so I guess I could too easily adapt the 1996-2003 Trophy ones. What do you think?
Sure. None of the cables needed adapting when I replaced the handlebars so it should be pretty straight forward for you to change them over on your sprint. I’ve also seen people replace the whole top yolk so they can use traditional 7/8 handlebars, which gives it a bit more of a streetfighter look.
@@BLPmotorbikeRides Thanks for your reply, mate. I will go for the Trophy bars. It should help: in my memories my Trident was much easier to handle and corner, due to narrower tires and lighter weight on front wheel I guess and... the younger biker I was back in the 90s (haha).
Hi. I used the bars from a later 1996-2003 trophy. The cables and hoses were still long enough even with the taller bars. I didn’t need to change them.
Ridiculously cheap to buy. Cannot believe these haven't rocketed in value and classic status. Ive only ever seen these in a British motorcycle museum here in the UK. Im not joking either.
I thought it was different in UK. We are just a few enthusiasts who love our motorcycles for what they are worth. I wouldn't complain because I could recently buy a 1997 Sprint that looks almost new and was well maintained, for 1500 €.
Oh how i love that humble yet throaty sound! Lovely bike mate, tnx for sharing!
Thanks bud. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Thanks for that vid 👍
I've been driving a 1995 model for 26 years and 140,000 km and I still can't get enough of it ☺️

Hello, I've heard the term top heavy for this bike , what does this imply, what can you do or can't. Thanks
Hi which model of bars did you use please ?
Also did you get standard triumph cables and hoses from the same model or are they custom made.

Talk us through the experience
Thanks. I will make another video soon with more talking about the bike and how it rides.
