TRIUMPH Tunderbird Legend TT (1999-2000) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1999, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Legend TT, a motorcycle developed for riders looking for a classic-styled roadster with great performance and everyday versatility.

The bike was created for those searching for the street-worthiness of modern bikes combined with the retro attire of older sportsters. The Legend TT also brought exceptional low-speed maneuverability thanks to its low seat and ample handlebars.

In the visual department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a large round headlight with instruments mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, reversed-cone silencers, and wire-spoke wheels.

In addition, the bike was available with Genuine Triumph Accessories, such as an integrated alarm, a summer and roadster windscreen, a tank bag, a leather pannier kit, a grab rail, chromed elements, a center stand, and adjustable levers.

The bike's suspension system comprised a 43 mm telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling.

The braking power was handled by a 320 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 285 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering optimum stopping power.

As for the power figures, the 1999 Triumph Legend TT had its soul brought to life by an 885cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 70 hp at 8,000 rpm and 69 Nm (51 lb-ft) torque at 4,000 rpm.
