TRIUMPH TT600 (2000-2001) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2000, the English motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph TT60, a sport motorcycle manufactured from 2000 to 2003. The bike was designed to enter the 600cc market shortly after Triumph returned to the American market.

The bike was first designed in 1996 and was the first in-line four-cylinder powered motorcycle made by Triumph. The bike was designed to compete in the most competitive motorcycle class, the fuel-injected middleweight category.

Being the first fuel-injected machine built by Triumph, it had two significant problems. The 2000 model had a choppy throttle response and lousy fuel mapping that made the throttle transition go on and off, making some machines lose two to three hp. This problem was solved with the introduction of the 2001 model.

The 2000 machine had standard features, such as a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat, a four-into-one exhaust system with an up-swept muffler, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

The bike was built on a lightweight aluminum beam perimeter frame with a 43 mm adjustable cartridge-type fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, offering optimum suspension performance and handling.

In the performance department, the 2000 Triumph TT600 had installed underneath its fuel yank a 599cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 110 hp at 12,750 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) torque at 11,000 rpm.
