The Triumph Adventurer 900 was a British motorcycle made by Triumph Motorcycles Ltd at the Hinkley factory. Launched in 1996, the 'Adventurer' name came from a 500cc parallel-twin trail bike from the 1970s. The water-cooled, 12-valve triple engine was the same 885cc as the Triumph Thunderbird 900, as were the steel frame and cycle parts including forks, rear shock, wheels and brakes. Modifications included raised handlebars and a single seat option. The most prominent features are the large rear fender, extra chrome-plated engine covers, and the megaphone-shaped silencers. The Adventurer suffered from lack of adjustment to the read mono-shock suspension that tended to bottom out on bumpy roads.
