Positioned in Triumph's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2001 Triumph Legend TT relies on a 885 cc (54 cu in) in-line three, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 69 HP (50.4 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 72 Nm (53.1 lb-ft) at 4,800 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 78 HP per liter and a 3,200 rpm working window between peak torque (4,800 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Legend TT measures 215 kg (474 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.32 HP/kg (3.12 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 725 mm (28.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,580 mm (62.2 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 190 km/h (118 mph).
