Introduced in 1996, the Adventurer used an almost identical basic engine and chassis package to the Thunderbird, but with: slight cruiser hint to the styling. The 885cc liquid-cooled triple produces 51kW (69bhp), with torquey power delivery. The Triumph steel-tube spine frame works well, while conventional forks and rear monoshock suspension supply soft, plush damping. A 48cm (19in) front wheel and high handlebars give the essential cruiser outline, although the Adventurer is still very much a Triumph in looks and performance. Factory accessories allow extensive customization. |
