2002 Triumph Trophy 900 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Triumph for the touring motorcycle segment, the 2002 Triumph Trophy 900 features a 885 cc (54 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 98 HP (71.5 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 83 Nm (61.2 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 110.7 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), 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 Trophy 900 measures 260 kg (573 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.38 HP/kg (2.65 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. The 25-liter (6.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 417 km (259 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 225 km/h (140 mph).

Within MotoLibrary's Triumph archive, this model family spans 9 indexed model years from 1991 to 2002, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
