- Jeff Stone checks out a British bike that takes him back to his younger days - the 1998 Triumph 900 Cruiser. Although overall design is based on a more classic design, it is a thoroughly modern bike where the performance is reliability is concerned.
At 5:00 Triumph does offer what they call a mudguard extension (T2300338) that goes underneath the license plate light. I wish I could attach a photograph of what one looks like on my bike. Also, the rear fender (mud guard) on a Thunderbird is quite different with an area for the license plate light. I have a Thunderbird rear fender painted to match the bike, but I haven't installed it yet. Check some videos of the Thunderbird to see what it looks like. I believe that the Legend was geared for a rider that weighs about 150 pounds. I weigh more than that. I changed the rear sprocket for a smoother acceleration from rest. I lost top speed, but I wasn't planning to go that fast anyhow.
I have made some small changes to my bike. It doesn't change the character of the bike, just enhances it.
Another great review, Jeff, thorough, fluffless, and always enjoy your witty quips- Thanks! Keep up he great work
But surely a seasoned rider remembers to turn the indicator off..?
I'm looking for a classic bike, but not really Harley person. Recently gotten my eyes on a triumph Bonneville, or the cheaper Thunderbird. I'm really loving the looks and the sitting position.
Great bikes! We just did a review on a custom cafe racer style one! Love the sound of them 👌🏻👌🏻
Took about 3 seconds to piss me off. It's not a cruiser, it's a naked roadster so you can ditch the CHiPs helmet, wooden gloves and flappy jeans. I had one some years ago, great bike much got than the Bonnies & more of a premium feel. Sadly wrote it off.
As a new rider these look extremely affordable. Best part of £10k for a new bonneville but you can pick these up for under £2k with virtually no miles.
4 years later and they're £3500-4000.
@@shiftyshamsk Yeah, I regret not buying one at the time. 😅
“Listen to that, silence” 😂😂😅🤣 a true motorcycle enthusiast.
I love the colour scheme!
Hmm selling it to me, I like thu might go for the Thunderbird.. decisions, decisions or it the Thunderbird as opposed to Legend
God I miss the 90s 😒
did 35k miles on one of these from new great bikes..steel rims though not ally like report says..
Early bikes (like my 96 Thunderbird) have alloy rims
Now for £3500-4000.
