Triumph Motorcycle reviews

This bike is fast and smooth. Bare bones make it look sleek, without missing any luxuries of a cycle. This 6-speed, 1200-horse-powered, quiet engine makes this beast a fun ride. Look good and drive safe, easy to maneuver and plenty of get up and go. Show less

Well made machine with excellent mechanical craftsmanship. Reliable and smooth riding. Heavier than some bikes in its class but still handles very well. I purchased a second saddle for riding comfort. My bike has the Rotrex supercharger and the 1200R engine package. A real blast to ride. Show less

Freaking awesome middle weight adventure bike. When I did my research it was #1 in articles for that size. I've found it to be fun, sporty, responsive, agile, and a blast to ride. I love the sound of the triple engine, there's nothing quite like it. It has several riding modes, road, rain, sport, and off-road. I actually waited 1k before putting it in sport mode and now it rarely comes outta sport. It's a different beast in sport for sure. The upright riding position is comfortable for me, I added risers to make the handlebars more comfortable, added a Sargents seat, and I was off to the races (figuratively). It's perfect for short jaunts or the long haul. I took it on a 2k mile 4-day trek and it was superb. I have the GT Low model and it's super manageable for my shorter stature. The gas mileage is good around 47-50 mpg, less if you're flying down the interstate at 80 . I guess it's the light weight and that tripple engine, but this thing really accelerates and makes for a fun ride! Show less

2018 didn't have much competition in the 800 ish cc class of off road oriented Adventure bikes. It was the first year of Triumph's 3rd generation Tiger 800, and XCA was the most well equipped off road oriented version of the middleweight Tiger. It's only other direct competition was the BMW F 850 GS Adventure. The next closest competitor was the KTM 1090 Adventure which was lighter and more powerful. There was also the Honda Africa Twin in 1000 cc, Compared to these other bikes, I think the only one that really bested it was the KTM 1090 Adventure. I think the Tiger was geared slightly too high, so I recommend dropping two teeth on the rear sprocket for lower speed technical prowess, and upgrading the rear shock. The display was great. after 15k miles I never had a problem. I recommend installing upper crash bars so you don't have to worry about damage when you crash. Engine is fun and exhilarating. Handled all trails. The KTM 1090 Adventure was the one to beat in performance, but I loved the overall package of the Triumph Tiger 800. Show less

My 2020 Triumph speed twin has custom wheels, Nitron suspension, Dyno Jet Commander V fuel injection controller, ASV C5 clutch and break levers, and Rizoma Vision sequential NANOLED turn signals. It's not just a bike but a finely tuned piece of art. It's the McClaren of motorcycles. Show less

Wonderfully balanced motorcycle. A joy to ride and very reliable. Turns heads wherever you go. The suspension is wonderful and the center of gravity makes this handle with surgical precision. Gobs of torque from the 1200 vertical twin. With the right exhaust has a menacing sound. 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 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

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
