The Triumph Legend TT is a British motorcycle that was made by Triumph Motorcycles Ltd from 1998 to 2001. Based on the three cylinder liquid cooled Triumph Thunderbird 900, the priority for the new Legend TT was affordability, so the designers reduced the initial cost by producing a stripped down hotrod version, with less chrome. {{cite web|url=http://www.motorpoint.com.au/Triumph-Legend-TT-99.asp|title=1999 Triumph Legend TT|accessdate=2008-09-01|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080828014037/http://www.motorpoint.com.au/triumph-legend-tt-99.asp|archivedate=28 August 2008|df=dmy-all}} Design features included a satin black powder coated engine, 'teardrop' fuel tank, reverse cone megaphone silencers and spoked wheels on 17 inch chrome rims. The colour options were 'Obsidian Black', 'Cardinal Red' and 'Imperial Green'.{{cite web|url=http://www.onyertriumph.net/legend.htm |title=Triumph Legend TT |accessdate=2008-09-01 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060303131827/http://www.onyertriumph.net/legend.htm |archivedate=3 March 2006 }}
