TRIUMPH Adventurer 900 Limited Edition (1998-1999) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1996, the British motorcycle manufacturer released into the motorcycling world the Triumph Adventurer 900. The bike was made at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire, England, and borrowed its name from the 1970s 500cc parallel-twin trial bike.

The machine packed the same 885cc engine as the Triumph Thunderbird 900 and other parts, like the steel frame, front fork, rear shock absorber, brakes, and wheels. It featured some differences, including a raised handlebar and a single seat.

It also had several prominent features, such as the large rear fender, a chrome-plated engine and covers, and two megaphone-shaped exhaust silencers. In addition, the Triumph Adventurer 900 was the best-selling machine in Thriumph's lineup.

In 1998, the British motorcycle maker introduced the Triumph Adventurer 900 Limited Edition, a cruiser-looking machine dedicated to Triumph enthusiasts. The bike was made in 50 units, and every machine packed an engraved chrome cover on the left side that stated: Limited Edition Nr. X/50.

In the appearance department, the limited edition machine had the same looks but with additional accessories, such as a rear luggage rack, pannier mounting brackets, tank pads, and a fork bag.

Underneath its fuel tank, the 1998 Triumph Adventurer 900 Limited Edition had installed an 885cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by three Mikuni carburetors, delivering an output power of 69 hp at 8,000 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 4,800 rpm.
