2001 Triumph Trophy 1200 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Triumph's touring motorcycle lineup, the 2001 Triumph Trophy 1200 pairs a 1180 cc (72 cu in) in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 107 HP (78.1 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 104 Nm (76.7 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 90.7 HP per liter and a 4,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (9,000 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 Trophy 1200 measures 235 kg (518 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.46 HP/kg (2.2 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,490 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 25-liter (6.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 211 km/h (131 mph).
