The Trophy has an in-line 4 cylinder engine with an actual size of 1180cc, a 6-speed gearbox (1 down and 5 up), has a maximum power of about 106bhp and a top speed of just over 150mph. It takes unleaded fuel and the tank can hold 25 litres with 5 litres of that amount being the reserve capacity. With a pretty good rate for this type of bike of 40-45mpg this means the Trophy has a pretty respectable range of about 225 miles.
The present day Trophy is an ancestor, in name only, of the 1949 Triumph TR5 Trophy. When Triumph started making motorbikes again, after the collapse of the company in 1984, the first new? motorbike produced was the Trophy 900, in 1990, with the Trophy 1200 being made and evolving from 1991 onwards into the awesome machine it is now. Sadly though the Trophy 900 stopped being made after 2001.
