1998 Triumph Trident 750 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Triumph's naked motorcycle lineup, the 1998 Triumph Trident 750 utilizes a 749 cc (45.7 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 86 HP (62.8 kW) while maximum torque reaches 87 Nm (64.2 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 114.8 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Trident 750 measures 212 kg (467 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.41 HP/kg (2.47 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 760 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops.
