Triumph Trident 900 – 1994

Triumph Trident 900

Pondering the ones that got away

(December 2021)

Though often over-looked in the showroom, Triumph's base model 900 was a very flexible bit of gear.

While it lacked some of the sex appeal of the Speed Triple 900, it shared the 98-horse inline triple engine, had a six-speed transmission and 25 litre fuel tank. The latter, by the way, had hand-painted pin-striping.

Back when it was new, it would have set you back Au$13,450 plus ORC (US$9800, GB£7300). By year 2000, this one with 41,000km on the odo was up for sale at Au$8900 (US$6400, GB£4800). Today, it would be worth closer to Au$4500 (US$3300, GB£2500).

We owned one back in the 1990s and it was a very capable all-rounder.
