1999 Triumph Legend

Lord Snooty · Nov 16, 2020

Not mine but my younger brother's. A 21 year old bike with just 10k on the clock, just 35 miles in the last 3 years when it has been take for its' MOT. It is absolutely mint, I struggled to find a mark on it. Just 4 owners, the same guy twice and then the dealership he bought it from owned it twice! It has clearly been cherished and has spent more time being polished and pampered.

These hold their value incredibly well. That example won't be an exception - lovely.

How's your brother's health, by the way.....

Nice bike

Crikey a Carnell bike or at least the number plate came from them which sort of suggests the bike did too

They went out of business many years ago and the site they occupied is now J&S

As an aside Paul Carnell somehow or other ended up on my stag night ....

I've owned a 3 Thunderbird Sports and an Adventurer

IIRC 'HNV' is a Hinckley (Leicestershire) plate

That's just lovely, really loving that colour and seat. The more that I look at it, what a bike !!

AND....I'm STILL moaning about no '3 up one side Hurricane'.......My money is burning a hole Triumph.....

My advice would be to only look at bikes with the non powder coated motors

There are still some very nice low mileage bikes around and they are a great investment :thumb2

Absolutely fantastic bikes! :thumb2

Here's some memorable photos of my old 1998 Thunderbird; which I still regret selling in April 2015.

Why is that?

Del boys garage is doing a massive rework on a triumph legend at the moment, looks good.

Triumph did two types of black powder coated motors. One that has the black powder coating falling off and the other that is awaiting the black powder coating to fall off
