Following Hinckley's "modular design" concept, the 1993 MY Triumph Trophy 900 shares most of its innards with the other Triumph models in the 900cc category, the thing setting it apart being its engine mapping, optimized for more mid-range torque and, of course, the bodywork and comfort department, to make it a true touring machine.
