[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 948189, member: 3828"] Yup, mine was an '01, for better or worse. The heat was the worse part. But she was a looker when she was all dolled up [IMG]https://i916.photobucket.com/albums/ad4/FJWinNH/Triumph%20Trophy%20900/100_1224.jpg[/IMG] I actually liked the soft stock suspension for touring around the bumpy roads of New England. The damping was well balanced with the cushy spring rates so the suspension worked well to isolate the rider from rough roads, albeit not optimally for fast cornering. I never got a chance to take it anywhere (down south) that the roads aren't heaved every winter, anyway. ;) I don't miss the routine to get those carbs in and out to alter the jetting. What a PITA that was. And the stock jetting was far too lean, at least on those last few years of Trophies, in an attempt to appease the EPA. I have no doubts that the new Trophy will be nothing like the old one, other than being a triple. Which is good, because that was he most endearing part of the old one. Much like the new Connies have no resemblance to the old ones except the Kawasaki name on the side. [/QUOTE]
