TRIUMPH Tunderbird Legend TT (2000-2001) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Triumph Thunderbird 900 was a naked motorcycle manufactured by Triumph at the Hinckley factory in Leicestershire, England. The 1994 motorcycle played a vital role in Triumph's successful re-entry into the United States market.

Alongside the base model, the motorcycle manufacturer introduced three other variations. The Triumph Thunderbird Legend, Thunderbird Adventurer, and Thunderbird Sport. The base model continued production until 2003, and the Sport model until 2004.

In 2000, the British motorcycle manufacturer launched the Triumph Thunderbird Legend TT, essentially a budget version of the Thunderbird sharing the same engine with the base model. The Legend version was designed for riders looking for a classic-styled machine with lively performance and everyday versatility.

The bike was built on a micro-alloyed high tensile steel spine frame with a 43 mm telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, offering optimum suspension performance and handling.

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

In the performance department, the 2000 Triumph Thunderbird Legend had installed underneath its fuel tank an 885cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 69 hp at 8,000 rpm and 69 Nm (51 lb-ft) torque at 4,000 rpm.
