RE: Trophy

Sebastian welcome to the group.
 
 
The 900's are not as thirsty as the 1200's  but if it's High Fuel
economy you are looking for consider a Vespa.  The Trophy delivers a
Grin factor that goes ear to ear.  Doing that takes fuel.  Expect
somewhere in the low to mid 40 USMPG for a 900 and mid 30's for a 1200.
That is provided you keep it in tune and ride "legal" Speeds.
 
 
Fuel injected bikes of near 1/2 a liter in displacement are much better
in the mileage category.  2 Cylinder Horizontally opposed, and V-twins
near 3/4 liter (IE not of American Heritage) are fairly economical to
run and maintain.  
 
That said, if you like a Trophy enough, the fuel consumption isn't
really an issue.  They are top heavy and they do like AVON tires.  Plan
on buying a set of Nology coils.
 
And spending lots of time on the Trophy list here.
 
Remember as far as Triumph goes the Trophies are orphans.
