TRIUMPH reviews

this has been a superior handling and low maintenance and POWERFUL bike for me in the 15 years owning it and has only needed preventive maintenance done. Never had any major engine or transmission or ignition problem Show less

(is REALLY the same as a Speedmaster 865, what I've owned) This has been a great motorcycle all around, in every way, had very few corrective maintenance issues ever, in the 15 years of owning it, just regular preventive maintenance is all I've had to do 99% of the time, it's also good on gas yet is still very powerful and can BRAKE FAST ! 2 discs up front have PLENTY of stopping power. Never had any major issue mechanically, just wear Show less

Love my T120 Bonnie! Well built and great motorcycle for beginners and experienced riders. Great ride, low wind residence. Beautiful to ride and admire. Smooth ride. Great for joy riding. Not recommended if you want to ride cross country. Show less

I own and have owned several bikes over the years. The Tiger 800Xcs is impressive in that it does it all. On the street or highway commute, coastal highway, or off road camping it has been a blast. Triumphs legendary triple cylinder engine performs no matter what you do with it. Even two up it’s got plenty of goose to get you going. It does well touring the highways and dives into the corners with ease, responsive throttle and breaking promotes confidence and thrill. Fully equipped - fog lights, heated grips, cruise control, off road engine guard,/package, fender extender, two power ports, 3 aluminum (Triumph) bags/trunk and more will cost a little more but you have all the trimmings for a great all around motorcycle. Off road the bike has multiple settings to release traction control, abs and set it up old school if you like. It’s the only thing I have issue with is that when you shut off the motor it defaults back to full traction control and abs. Otherwise - love the choices. Hard steering and peg riding comes intuitive for experienced riders. That being said, the traction control is a nice feature that helps avoid rear end spin out when off the line or in wet corners. Ask me how I know!!! Guarantee - you will return from a test ride thoroughly pleased. Selling one in Washington check it out on Cycle Trader. Show less

I have had nothing but good times with this motorcycle. Lightweight, great power for the size, good mileage. Great look, get asked all the time what year it is with people expecting it to be a classic when it is a modern motorcycle. This bike is awesome, cruise control is super convenient, heated grips are helpful in the winter time or during early morning rides before it starts to warm up. Added the saddlebags to add storage for the longer rides. Three years of owning this bike and I love it. Show less

The 2020 Triumph Tiger 900 is perfectly balanced for the re-entry rider as well as the experienced rider. The triumph tiger is geared just right to be responsive on the highway and the right amount of low end torque for the off road situations. The ergonomics are designed for a comfortable long distance and designed to keep you protected from the wind. The Tiger 900 sturdy enough for the highway and nimble enough for the dirt. To me the tiger 900GT is the perfect bike for the rider that doesn't want to be limited by top heavy hard to balance adventure bikes. I always looked forward to riding it. Show less

Starts every time and sounds great for a parallel twin. Good power and handles nicely. Comfortable foot position for someone 6' tall. Nice array of parts to customize including performance parts. Overall a fun bike to ride. Show less

Solid bike all around. This bike is quick enough to keep you on your toes but handles tight enough to keep you out of trouble. This is a great bike for those long rides on back country or beach roads but has enough power to handle great on the highway as well. This one is surprisingly quick and handles very tight. The complements are unending when out on this bike. Show less

This beast of a motorcycle just launches like a monster and stops just as well. The 240 rear tire will have you learning the curves a tad differently but once you do it’s very fun. Love the looks of this motorcycle as well as performance but for the longer trips over 100 miles or more you might want to check different shocks but the seat and foot and hand arrangement are great for me. Thanks Show less

I've got over 4,000 miles on my Triumph Speedmaster and it is truly an awesome bike. The styling, the power, the handling, the all-day riding comfort, and the customization that's possible make it a stellar cruiser. The detailing on the bike is high quality. Even the welds are tight and nearly invisible. The bike comes with a nice comfort rider's seat, although I changed to a Corbin dual seat because the rear pillion is stiff--and the wife wanted something more cushy. The technology sets this bike apart from what many other cruisers have. It's got a compression front fork, preload rear mono shock with rear suspension linkage to allow for extra movement. Dual front forks with ABS and traction control are standard. Also standard is one-touch Cruise control and two rider modes. There's a digital Tach, gear indicator and loads of other tech readouts on a beautiful instrument clock. The tech is integrated beautifully, so that the bike remains a classic in style and looks, but is modern in handling and power. The twin engine is awesome, with almost 79 ft. pounds of torque and 77 hp. You get 90% of your torque from 3700-5700rpm, so you can really rip on this bike. Many just want to cruise at lower rpm and you can do that on the Speedmaster. But if you're like me, you can make some simple mods that boost power, since the 1200 engine makes almost 100 hp in Thruxton and Speedmaster versions. As for reliability--I've had other Triumphs and they are among the most reliable bikes I've owned. The Speedmaster's maintenance is every 10,000miles, so it's not a costly bike to maintain. The handling is excellent, with the bike being totally solid on the highway, even in windy conditions. At 580 pounds, it's not too heavy or too light. The bike carries its weight low, so it's easy to move around the garage and to park, and not cumbersome to drive at slow speeds like much heavier bikes. I like the forward pegs, but there's a kit for moving the pegs and controls to the mid position for those who prefer that. Lastly, the pipes sound great, even stock. This is a modern classic bike that will probably be a classic in another 20 or 30 years. Show less
