i've got a tall screen on my one, does the job fine but when upto about 80+ it's *****... the wind seems to thrash around it and makes a noise like when you have one car window open sliphtly at high speed.... i think i prefer nake to that!

do the holes in the screen sort this issue?

I haven`t noticed that much noise to tell the truth ,but I can tell that it doesn`t suck me forward as much .But this was the purpose of the holes. I only have my Sprint for comparison purposes,so the noise levels are very different.But I am very happy with how much more quiet the Trophy is to ride,even with my face shield up!!!

Doublenikkel:

Have 01 Sprint ST, thinking of moving to 00 1200 Trophy. The ST requires just a bit more effort than is comfortable: all that leaning forward business! What's more, at 5'8" [30" inseam] the oem screen gives a lot of turbulence in the face, not to mention bugs! Have a touring screen for colder times, but it's not cold in VA now.

Hoping you can give a quick comparison of riding position and wind effects on these 2 bikes. In particular, how does one get rid of the Trophy's vacuum effect, and how can turbulence be managed for pillion comfort?

The only late-model Trophy I have tried was very nice, but it wore D&D's that made it sound like a pair of 1st-gen Bonnies with TT pipes.

Any comments from the group re: the 00 BRG Trophy from TN that is on eBay now?

Get a screen with the PRV(pressure relief vents) It is a subtle difference ,but it does help with the vacuum effect for me. The Trophy will still lean you forward ,but only a tiny bit. My Trophy is my long hauler and my Sprint is my play bike. I can`t believe that I waited so long to get a Trophy,I say go for it as you`ll probably love it. The Trophy is a tall bike as well and heavier.I`m 5`10' and have no problems. The wheelbases are almost the same , the handling is great and still sharp.Just obviously not as flickable. My Sprint hasn`t seen much action since I got the Trophy. For comparison purposes I have a 32 inch inseam at 225lbs. There are also riseres available for the Sprint from Gen-Mar. to helpreduce your lean and reach.

Won the bid on the BRG 00 Trophy, so will soon know the ins and outs of BBBB ownership firsthand.

2nd Triumph purchased from eBay.

Great,I`m sure you`ll love it. I also got mine from E-bay and it was a good experience. I failed to mention that Gen-Mar also has risers for the Trophy.Thinking about getting a pair myself. :chug:
