Eating long distances in supreme comfort is what the Trophy does best. Added to that is its amazing ability to transform into a motorcycle that is equally happy to tackle the twisty roads.

The beating heart of the machine, this spirited engine delivers excitement on demand; no need to wait for the revs to rise or be forced to kick down a gear at the wrong time. You’ll feel it and you’ll hear it as the infamous Triumph Triple delivers it inimitable, spine tingling sound.

In case you thought that the 2012 Trophy was cool, wait until you hop on the Special Edition of the bike. It carries on all the nifty features of the base model, but brings in even more touring comfort and more advanced technologies to make life aboard this two-wheeled flagship easier and funnier.

The Trophy SE comes with ride-by-wire throttle, traction control, electronic cruise control, electronic suspension, electrically adjustable screen, integrated audio system with Bluetooth functionality, linked ABS, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System.

And with an integrated luggage system, the 2002 Trophy is ready for both overnight trips and fortnight-long journeys across the continent. With an 1180cc in-line 4 and 108 hp to spare, the Trophy really doesn't care if you're traveling alone or with a passenger.

The 2001 Trophy is Triumph's elite asphalt tourer, a bike created to cross state line after state line, and still keep carrying you towards the other side of the continent. With excellent comfort and weather protection, the Trophy is still an aerodynamic machine capable of blazing along the highways.

With a color-coded integrated luggage system and plenty of accessories, the Trophy's muscular in-line 4 engine will have you smiling in as you twist the throttle right off idle.

This Trophy is powered by Triumph's 885cc triple engine and with 25 liters of fuel aboard, it spells true touring capabilities, allowing more riding joy and less useless stops.

Even when loaded, the adjustable suspensions and robust engine are delivering the right amount of passing power, mid-turn nerve and high-speed maneuverability needed to make any rider smile, in any scenario.

Just as its name says it, the 1999 Trophy 900 is the smaller brother of the 1200 version. A middleweight touring machine for those in search of a more manageable power delivery, this bike retains all the road worthiness and long-range traveling comfort of the big-bore beast.

Capable of carrying tremendous loads in its standard, hard saddlebags, even with a passenger, the two-wheeler will do so surprisingly fast,and, thanks to the full fairing, without any inconvenience for the rider or the passenger. Whether one decides to ride it on his way to work or takes it on a transcontinental haul that last months, the Trophy 1200 will behave as expected from a large-bore touring motorcycle.

The 1999 MY Triumph Trophy 900 sports the same engine and rigid steel frame as its predecessors. A smaller, yet, a little nimbler sibling to the Trophy 1200 flagship tourer, it has the same road composure, making it an excellent touring machine, whether for daily commutes or transcontinental vacations.

Coming standard with color-matching, hard saddlebags, it can carry impressive loads even when riding two-up, without affecting the engine's performance. On the comfort side of things, a spacious dual-seat plus full fairing and big, capacious panniers to protect from all types of weather make it a sound choice in the touring bike category.

The 1998 MY Triumph Trophy 900 has received a number of upgrades that increase the overall comfort and load-carrying capacity of the machine. Hard, lockable, color-matching saddle-bags now come as a standard feature. The seat has been redesigned for more comfort for both the rider and the passenger.

The four-stroke, liquid-cooled, transverse three cylinder engine offers great power delivery at low to mid revs while still keeping a punch for top end rpms.

In the comfort department, it comes standard with a dual-seat which offers the rider and the passenger lots of space and a full fairing plus capacious panniers for excellent protection against the elements.

Able to cope with either busy city traffic, weekend countryside strolls or full-range vacation hauls, the 1996 MY Triumph Trophy 900 is a versatile and, more importantly, durable touring machine.

Trophy is a very capable all-rounder, not least thanks to its outstanding sporting ability. The Triumph Trophy 1200's four cylinder 1180 cc engine was detuned from an original high of 141 hp (105 Kw) to a softer 108 hp (78.7 Kw) for its touring role, but lost none of its silky smoothness or roll-on friendly torque. A rigid steel frame, high quality suspension and generous Ground Clearance combine to make Triumph`s long distance bike.

Its four-stroke, liquid-cooled, 885cc, transverse three cylinder engine produces 98 horsepower and 83 Nm of torque, which is more than enough to make it's massive 217kg dry weight race across the motorway.

Following Hinckley's "modular design" concept, the 1993 MY Triumph Trophy 900 shares most of its innards with the other Triumph models in the 900cc category, the thing setting it apart being its engine mapping, optimized for more mid-range torque and, of course, the bodywork and comfort department, to make it a true touring machine.

Whether one decides to use it on his daily commute to and from work, a weekend stroll through the countryside or a transcontinental vacation, the Trophy 900 is up for the task.

The 1992 MY Triumph Trophy 900 is a touring machine which shares all its traits and engineering with its bigger sibling, the Trophy 1200, except for the engine, and the sticker that says "900" instead of "1200" of course.
