When John Bloor brought Triumph back from the dead in 1991 with the factory in Hinckley, he made the wise decision to over-engineer the first models to help break in the new Triumph with a good reputation. Because of that, these ‘early’ modern Triumphs are workhorses that can be picked up for decent prices, as long as you can deal with a bit of top-heaviness.
Basic specifications include 100 horsepower, 61 pound feet of torque, and a top speed of 130 miles per hour. For more information on the Trident 900, check out this review from MCN. Or check out this buying guide on early Hinckleys from Real Classic.
This example has 18,000 miles and it is setup for touring with Givi sidebags and a RAM GPS mount. The seller says everything works but there’s a small dent in the gas tank. Find this Trident for sale in Sterling, Virginia for $3,500 here on Craigslist.
