In 1997, the British motorcycle manufacturer released the Triumph Adventurer 900, a two-wheeler made by Triumph at the Hinckley Factory in Leicestershire, England 1996. The bike was manufactured from 1996 to 2001.
Its name was taken from a 1970s 500cc parallel-twin trail bike and packed the same 885cc engine as the Triumph Thunderbird 900 but also other components, like the frame, front fork, rear shock absorber, brakes, and wheels.
In addition, the Adventurer model had a raised handlebar and a single seat compared to the Thunderbird. The large rear fender, chrome-plated engine, cam cover, radiator cover, and megaphone-shaped silencers represented the most notable features.
The bike packed standard features, such as a large round headlight, a large radiator, a one-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system, a side stand, lots of chromed elements in the engine area, and wire-spoke wheels.
The 1997 Triumph Adventurer 900 had its heartbeat set by an 885cc four-stroke three-cylinder liquid-cooled engine managed by three Mikuni carburetors, delivering an output power of 69 hp at 8,000 rpm and 72 Nm (53 lb-ft) torque at 4,800 rpm.
With a dry weight of 233 kg (514 lbs) and a six-speed manual transmission with a final chain drive, the cruiser-looking machine reached a top speed of 192 kph (119 mph).
From top speed to a complete stop, the bike relied on two 320 mm discs with a two-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 285 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering strong braking performance.
