2000 triumph reviews

What a wonderful bike - I love riding it! Add the paniers and a sissy bar and its really cool! Show less

I ride mine to work every day, have almost 23K miles on it and have not had a problem yet. It starts up and runs great in all weather conditions, from temperatures in the low 30s to the 100s. On weekend trips, you can keep up with almost any sportbike rider in the twisties (as long as you know when to pull your feet up), but at the end of a 300K mile day you'll feel no pain and be ready for more. No need for handlebar risers or a taller windscreen. Insurance rates are low, I'm only paying $330 a year (quotes for sportbikes usually run me at least $2000). On the negative side, the bike feels a bit heavy until you get used to it, and the fuel guage is almost useless (but the fuel light works fine). No real complaints: 4 out of 5 is my highest rating for anything. Check out some of the Triumph accessories, the Sympatex gloves and TriTech boots are well made, waterproof and comfortable.

I recently purchased a low milege used 2000 Daytona. My son has a 98 and has had no problems with his and I needed something to keep up with him. These bikes are something else. I put on the high rise c/f can, K&N filter and a remapping and this thing screams. Also had Michelin pilot sports mounted. Now it's not only really fast, it sticks to the curves like glue. Then there's the looks. Mine is tornado red wirh some extra carbon fiber goodies. Personally I thought the Daytona's looked odd in a european way but it's grown on me. It really attracts different people. On two occasions old ladies came up to to bike. They couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous they thought it was. One of them decided she wanted to buy one! I get similar responses everytime I stop somewhere. Then there's the sound. It's more addicting than I ever imagined. It snarls, growls and screams like a banshee. I can only go about a day without hearing "the sound". This one will be a permanent resident in my bike collection. Show less

I bought this bike in February 2000, and I have been in love ever since. I had a Ducati 851 which had looks, sounds, and handling, but had awful ergos and slow speed manuvers were just scary. The Sprint has looks (I get positive comments EVERYWHERE I go), sounds wonderful, handles very well, and is comfortible. I ride it to work five days a week on a 40 mile loop. On weekends I take it canyon riding. I added a Staintune hi-pipe, short stalk clear lense rear signals, Triumph rear hugger, Zero Gravity light smoke Double Bubble, hub ammo, new factory FI map, K&N filter , I removed the snorkles and metal divider in the airbox, and frame sliders. I have been getting 52-53mpg, and I do not baby my bike. It has never done anything but run perfectly. I have 15,000 miles on the ODO. I'm on the original clutch, the chain was replaced at 14,000 miles(sprockets still look new), The valves needed NO adjustment at 13,000 miles, and I am running a set of Bridgestone BT-010's. I am on my second 200-50-17 rear. It fits perfectly due to the six inch wheel, and lots of clearence. I got 4,500 miles out of the last rear, and about 8,000 out of the front. I can buy any bike at any time to replace my Sprint ST, but I can't see any reason to part with such an all around great bike. Of course an MV Agusta F4 as a second bike would perfect! Show less

Just bought a second hand Legend here in Sweden, only done 8,000 Km & its nearly 3yrs old. Must say it is the most versatile bike I have ever owned, fun to ride whatever the roads, moves like a dream, & I'm having loads of fun with it. Pity Triumph has stopped building it, maybe I will have to buy a Thunderbird next. Show less

Got a Corbin, solving the seating problem. I had them lengthen the front seat 1 inch.This does shorten the rider's seat slightly but allows for 3 distinct riding positions. However, I am rather tall (6'2"). Took a little getting used to but really like it now. Thanks. Show less

recently aquired a Daytona and was not disapointed at all. Awesome midrange power. true sport by all accounts. forget the jap bikes when you have real quality in europe that is of a reasonable price range. not to mention that sound you only get from a triple. no regrets at all this bike is all adrenaline. (GET ONE!) Show less

Having ridden most of the current Triumph sport lineup I must say they all feel the same. Torque to burn. Aside from the Daytona which has a different feel. My 2000 RS has great torque and full range power. It handles itself well against the rice bikes but lacks the top end snap. Low and mid range is where it really shines. Show less

This thing Trumps other naked street bikes in just about every category. I had a T-160 Trident back in the day and this thing reminds me a lot of the that crotch rocket but with much less maintenance hassels. It retains the english country road breeding of Brit bikes and corners on a rail. You can just keep leaning over and rolling on more throttle for what seems an incredible long time. Increasing apex turn, no prolem just keep cranking. I've had riders behind me on trips come up to me at a rest stop and say "My God that thing handles well don't it" Carves corners like my granddads Shefield slices a Thanksgiving turkey. It is easy to ride in traffic, great on the freeway, and looks interesting enough to start more than a few conversations. Not really great for long distance touring unless you want to strap gear bags all over the place but that's not it's forte. I am thinking of getting a 1200 Trophy for that stuff but for fun, this is my ride. If you have long legs you might get a bit cramped on the standard foot pegs. I have a set of highway pegs that come in handy on long highway driving. And I'm glad they quit making this as my classic model will soon be a classic. BTW the name Adventurer was used on a 72-74 Triumph 250 that was also sold as a Tiger Cub or some such name. Not a lot of those were sold either. Show less

I recently put a set of gen-mar risers on my 2001 speed triple. My local dealer had to install them due to some re-routing of cables. I was in and out of the shop in 30 minutes. Words cannot describe the difference in riding comfort. The risers elevate the bars 1 inch and move them back 1 3/8th inches. The more upright riding position decreases excess weight transfer under braking, allows for greater peripheral vision, and less strain on the neck, back, and wrists. The gen-mar risers appear to be a quality product. They look great on the bike and allow you to enjoy riding that much more. In my 30 plus years of riding I have never purchased an accessory that had such an impact on riding pleasure. I highly recommend them. Show less
