If the 2009 Triumph Rocket ||| doesn’t lead the power cruiser class then I don’t know what does. Surprisingly easy to maneuver, great performing, and extremely good looking, the British largest capacity production motorcycle is here to stay.
While cruisers such as the America and the Speedmaster are revamped as 2009 model years thanks to the fuel injection system ensuring that Euro 3 regulations are met, the Rocket ||| models are found in the situation of saying “been there, done that” and simply carry on enjoying the tremendous success ensured mostly by pure muscle and bad boy looks.

The Triumph Scrambler is an everyday reminder of how off-road bikes used to be built in the past and as a 2009 model year it gets even better with the addition of fuel injection and a new color range that reflects more of the model’s abilities from the very first look taken at it.
Powerful, reliable, but most of all versatile, the original British idea of an all around motorcycle remains strong on today’s competitive market and such a statement is not to be neglected.

Take a first glance at the new Triumph Thruxton and you’ll have troubles spotting the essence of the 2009 model year not only because the bike looks just like it did in 2008, but also because the fuel injection system is beautifully camouflaged in a pair of carburetors and so retains Thruxton’s legendary racing look.
The racing bike from Triumph’s glory days, now a combination between the café racing style and modern engineering, the 2009 Thruxton is a direct hit into any nostalgic’s sensible heart. Let’s see what more.

Sometimes it isn’t recommended to go ahead and buy the first motorcycle that looks like perfect to fulfill your riding needs even though your every single cell tells you to do so simply because there can always be an even more adequate alternative. That’s why we have the competition heading in all of our reviews, but in this case that’s not going to be the solution.
Now, we’ve just wrote about the latest Triumph Speedmaster and that custom bike couldn’t have left you with a bad impression, but people may want to go for the classic bike, and that’s where the 2009 Triumph America intervenes. So if you haven’t already made a deposit for the Speedmaster, the America can blink an eye at you as it is more comfortable without losing any of the British magic look.

Together with the
Bonneville engine’s fuel injection upgrade, virtually all classic/custom motorcycles in the Triumph lineup are new in that concern. This implies the 2009 Speedmaster too, but what’s really the strong point of this motorcycle is attitude so the only thing that the new model year brings is more grunt to back those bad boy looks up.

Triumph revamps the 2009 Bonneville lineup for the model’s 50th anniversary and we dare saying from the very beginning that it is their best one yet. The facts backing this affirmation up consist in both the addition of a fuel injection system for the legendary powerplant as well as the introduction of two all-new models apart from the T100 one.
Although the British motorcycle manufacturer was keen on retaining the original 1960s look of the Bonneville, the New and SE models are both modern interpretations of their old timer’s sibling and, of course, they feature the same engine.

Triumph makes sure that their most versatile model, the Tiger remains a strong player on the market and the presence of a Special Edition model in their lineup is just what the doctor recommended for riders in search of an adventure-sport model. The bike is based on the Tiger ABS, but distinguishes thanks to a Matt Graphite and Matt Black color scheme as well as with a pair of color-matched sidebags, just like the 2009 Sprint ST gets.
A first glance at the standard 2009 Triumph Tiger is enough to make you think that the bike is totally new, but what actually sets it apart from the previous model year are the attractive new color schemes and the touring upgrades that the Brits simply had to have for their wild model.
While the color schemes as well as the accessories are for you to decide, what they don’t offer the possibility to decide for is the 1050cc three-cylinder engine producing 113bhp at 9,400rpm and 100Nm at 6,250rpm, as that would actually be the main reason why people buy the bike. Also, the Triumph Tiger features sports suspensions and rubber as well as Nissin brakes, making it an adequate sport-touring bike rather than the dual-purpose one that first made an entry back in the early 1990s.

It’s long been said that bikers evolve with age so while the Daytona 675 is the dream of any passionate in his early twenties, the Triumph Sprint ST is a family guy’s idea of a sport tourer. If that’s the case, I’m getting married as soon as possible.
The bike is extremely reliable and versatile while also retaining the British style and finesse with performance to back it up.

Triumph is aware of the fact that it just isn’t enough to be part of the world’s motorcycle history so they reinvent themselves creating and then carrying on manufacturing unique motorcycles such as the Speed Triple. If some of those models end up determining the creation of other ones, which is definitely the case, it means there’s great demand in that sector and it is also very likely for that first bike to stick around for more. The 2009 Triumph Speed Triple does so and with no changes to set it apart from the previous model year. So let’s see on what Triumph is betting it will sell their bike.

Triumph became a famous name in the world of motorcycles with unique style as well as innovative ways of obtaining as much performance and benefits from their bikes. The 2009 Street Triple model reflect their urban sports strategy best. On one hand, they have the base Street Triple model which is unchanged for 2009, but on the other hand there is the all-new 2009 Triumph Street Triple R. So instead of simply upgrading a bike that was already present in their lineup, they make the choice of creating a significantly more expensive brand new model derived from it. This way, both riders who search for a veritable naked bike at a low price are satisfied and also those more ostentatious who prefer to pay the price for a more attractive model.
