Ireland To India On A Triumph Trophy 1200 ???????
Folks
I have a 2003 Triumph Trophy 1200. It is in perfect condition with just 13000 miles. I have decided that I want to go to India in August or September 2008 and I find myself in a dilemma. So here goes........
Pros
It is a big bike
It is comfortable
So far it has been ultra reliable
It has plenty of power
It is reasonable on fuel
I like it very much
Cons
It is a big bike
It is a heavy bike
If needed, parts in other countries may be difficult to find
It is a big bike
It is a heavy bike
It could be better on fuel
It is a big bike
It is a heavy bike
So there you have it. I regularly read about what other people are using for such trips and most seem to be using single or v-twin enduro-type machines, and of those who are using Triumph no-one seems to be using a Trophy!
Does anyone have actual experience of using a Trophy on a long trip? It breaks my heart to think that I may have to sell it to get a small food mixer engined Jap machine! I would love to hear your views.
Cheers
Chris
