Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 2001 Triumph Legend TT900.
Totalmotorcycle.com has this to say of the Legend TT900 “the Legend TT is designed for riders looking for a classically styled roadster with lively performance plus everyday versatility. Like Triumph’s other classically styled bikes, the Legend features an appealing blend of period styling plus modern engine and chassis engineering, with a look that is clean and classically elegant.”
Sporting a 885cc 12 valve transverse mounted inline triple mated to a 5 speed transmission, the TT900 makes 70 ponies and 53lb/ft of torque. Putting power to ground is a steel tube spine frame, with stopping provided by 320mm single disk front and 285mm single disk rear brakes. The bike tips the scales at 474 pounds and tops out at 125mph. Triumph claims the bike can do the standing quarter mile in 12.9 seconds.
“The Legend is notably easy to ride, thanks to its low seat and a chassis designed for easy handling. The engine is available with a restriction kit, which makes it an ideal entry to the world of three-cylinder classic motorcycling. For owners who enjoy personalizing their machines, the Legend’s distinctive look can be further enhanced with a selection from Triumph’s extensive range of accessories.”
