A rather unique bike at the end of the millennium, the 1999 Triumph Adventurer blends in the 50's and 60's looks with the classic American cruiser design, but the result is a robust build with plenty of street character and able to serve as a most indulging daily commuter and all-rounder.
With a low seat making this bike great for shorter riders, too, the 1999 Adventurer has excellent handling at both high and low speed, being as good a city slicer as it is a weekend getaway machine for solo or two-up rides. A restriction kit is also available.

The 2000 Adventurer is one of the intriguing and at the same time awesome Triumph classic-styled all-rounder. With an upright stance and high handlebars, the bike is comfortable and puts the rider in complete control in the urban traffic, as well as on rougher terrain.
A robust 885cc 3-cylinder mill powers the Adventurer and provides plenty of nerve for all riding styles. Retro in looks but modern in performance, the 2000 Triumph Adventurer is a commuter, a cruiser and a leisure bike, all in one sweet package.
