The Triumph Trident was a standard motorcycle powered by a three-cylinder 750 or 900cc engine. The bike was manufactured from 1991 to 1998 at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire, England.
In 1991, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the first Triumph Trident 750, a naked motorcycle that used a modular liquid-cooled DOHC engine design fitted in a steel frame with a large-diameter backbone design.
In the visual department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a large round headlight with the instrument cluster mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, a center stand, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.
The bike's suspension system comprised a 43 mm non-adjustable telescopic fork on the front and a gas-charged adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling.
In the braking department, the wheels were fitted with two 296 mm discs squeezed by dual-piston calipers on the front and a 255 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering optimum stopping power.
In the performance department, the 1991 Triumph Trident 750 had its soul brought to life by a 749cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by three BST CV carburetors, delivering 97 hp at 8,750 rpm and 66 Nm (49 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.
A six-speed manual transmission that spun the rear wheel through a final chain drive handled the bike's power.
