Why Buy a Used Triumph?

Significant Cost Savings

New motorcycles start to depreciate the moment they leave a showroom. A well-chosen used Triumph lets you sidestep that steepest drop in value and get far more motorcycle for your budget. In practical terms, that might mean stepping up to a higher-spec model or trim level you'd otherwise be stretching for new.

Access to the Full Model Range

The used market opens up the entire breadth of Triumph's history; including models no longer in current production. Looking for a Tiger 800 before the move to the 900 platform? A first-generation Street Triple with its distinctive three-cylinder character? A pre-facelift Thruxton with wire wheels and all the café racer drama? The used market has you covered.

Ready-to-Ride Extras

Many used Triumphs arrive with genuine accessories or quality aftermarket parts already fitted; touring screens, luggage systems, comfort seats, performance exhausts. These are upgrades the previous owner invested in; you benefit without the additional outlay. It's not unusual for a used bike to represent considerably better real-world value than its sticker price suggests.

Popular Triumph Models to Consider

Triumph's range spans everything from classic-inspired roadsters to full-fat adventure tourers. Here's a guide to the models most commonly found on the used market, and what each one does best.

Used Triumph Bonneville for sale

Bonneville Family

The Bonneville name is one of motorcycling's most storied, and Triumph's modern interpretation earns that heritage rather than merely borrowing it. The water-cooled T100 and T120 deliver genuine café-quality character with reliable, modern mechanicals underneath. The Bobber and Bobber Black add a chopper-inspired edge, while the Scrambler 900 and 1200 are built for those who want their classic with a side of light off-road ability. On the used market, low-mileage examples are plentiful and represent outstanding value.

Used Triumph Street Triple for sale

Street Triple

If you want proof that three cylinders can outshine four, the Street Triple is it. Agile, punchy, and endlessly rewarding on both a commute and a canyon road, the Street Triple has spent over a decade as one of Britain's best-loved naked bikes. The S, R, and RS variants offer progressively sharper performance and electronics. A used RS in particular represents a serious amount of performance hardware for the money; Öhlins suspension, Brembo brakes and 125bhp, all at a used price.

Used Triumph Speed Triple for sale

Speed Triple

The Speed Triple is for riders who want to make absolutely no compromise. Triumph's flagship naked has always delivered supercar-grade performance in a useable, street-legal package, and the current 1200 RS and RR generation are the most capable iterations yet. On the used market, the previous 1050-generation Speed Triple RS offers blistering performance at significantly reduced cost compared to new. For riders who want the very top of the Triumph naked hierarchy, the Speed Triple rewards in full.

Used Triumph Tiger for sale

Tiger Family

From the accessible Tiger Sport 660 to the imposing Tiger 1200, Triumph's adventure range covers virtually every touring and exploration need. The Tiger 900 hits a sweet spot for most riders, light enough to be flickable, capable enough for two-up European touring, and with enough technology to take the stress out of long days in the saddle. The Tiger 1200 is for those with ambition: a true globe-trotter with the power, electronics, and comfort to match. Both generations are well-represented on the used market.

Used Triumph Trident 660 For sale

Trident 660

Launched in 2021, the Trident 660 quickly established itself as one of the best value propositions in the middleweight naked class. With a characterful triple-cylinder engine, lightweight chassis, and approachable power output, it works equally well as a first big bike or a sensible daily machine for experienced riders. Used examples are now appearing at very attractive prices, making the Trident an increasingly compelling choice for riders who want Triumph quality without the premium price tag.

What to Check Before You Buy

Whether you're buying from a dealer or privately, these are the checks that matter.

Run an HPI Check

An HPI check is the UK equivalent of a full vehicle history report. It will confirm whether the bike has outstanding finance attached to it, has ever been written off, has been stolen and recovered, or has a mileage discrepancy. This is a non-negotiable step when buying from a private seller. When you buy a used Triumph through Blade, we handle this as standard, you'll know exactly what you're getting.

Check the Service History

A stamped service book or digital dealer service records tells you whether the previous owner maintained the bike properly. Look for services at or near the correct intervals. Gaps in the history aren't automatically a dealbreaker, but they should prompt further questions. Bikes with full main-dealer service histories will typically command a small premium, and it's a premium worth paying.

Inspect the Mechanicals

Run the engine from cold so you can hear it fire up without any prior warming. Listen for any unusual ticking or rumbling. Check the coolant level, oil level, and look underneath for any signs of leaks. Inspect the chain for stretch and correct tension, and check both brake pads for remaining thickness. On liquid-cooled models, ensure the coolant is clean and not discoloured, milky coolant can indicate a head gasket concern.

Check the Cosmetics Carefully

Minor scratches on footpeg feelers or handlebar ends are normal signs of use. More significant damage, cracked fairings, scraped exhaust cans, bent levers may suggest the bike has been dropped. This isn't always a problem if the damage is superficial and priced accordingly, but it's worth factoring into your negotiation. Pay particular attention to the frame, forks, and swingarm for any signs of repair or straightening.

Research the Market Value

Before committing, spend time researching asking prices for comparable bikes on sites like Auto Trader, MCN Bikes for Sale, and Bike Trader. This gives you a realistic sense of whether the price you're being quoted is fair, and provides a solid foundation for negotiation if needed. Adjust your expectations for mileage, age, and specification, a low-mileage, well-specced example will always command more than a high-mileage equivalent.

Ask About Remaining Warranty

Some used Triumphs will still be within their original two-year manufacturer warranty, or may have had the warranty extended. This is worth factoring into your assessment of value. At Blade Triumph, our used stock is checked and presented with full transparency on warranty status and we can advise on extended warranty options where applicable.

Finance Your Used Triumph

Spreading the cost of your next bike is straightforward with Blade Triumph's finance options.

Hire Purchase (HP)

Hire Purchase is the most straightforward way to finance a used motorcycle. You agree a deposit and fixed monthly repayments over a set term , typically 12 to 60 months and the bike is yours outright once the final payment is made. HP suits riders who want clear ownership from day one and prefer predictable monthly costs with no mileage limits to worry about.

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)

PCP offers lower monthly payments than HP by deferring a portion of the cost to the end of the agreement as a final balloon payment. At the end of the term you can pay the balloon to own the bike outright, part-exchange into something new, or simply hand the bike back with nothing further to pay. PCP works well if you like the flexibility of regular upgrades and prefer to keep monthly costs down.

Which Used Triumph is Right for You?

Finding the perfect pre-owned motorcycle depends on your riding style, your commute, and where you want the road to take you. To help you narrow down your search, here is a breakdown of the five core Triumph families we reguarly have in our current stock.

Used Triumph Modern Classics for sale

Modern Classics: Timeless Style, Modern Soul

If you appreciate iconic British heritage combined with effortless rideability, a used Bonneville, Scrambler, or Speed Twin is your perfect match. These bikes are famous for their parallel-twin engines and "cool factor," making them ideal for weekend breakfast runs or stylish city commutes. Buying a pre-owned model from the 900cc or 1200cc range allows you to own a piece of motorcycling history without sacrificing modern rider aids like traction control and ABS.

Used Triumph Roadsters for sale

Roadsters: Pure Performance & Agility

For riders who crave precision handling and exhilarating power, the Triumph Roadster family—featuring the Street Triple and Speed Triple—is the industry benchmark. Known for their distinctive "triple" engines, these naked sportbikes offer a hair-raising soundtrack and surgical-grade cornering for both road and track. A used Street Triple 765 is a particularly popular choice, offering a lightweight chassis and high-spec tech that often outclasses brand-new competitors in the middleweight category.

Used Triumph Adventure Bikes for sale

Adventure: Conquering Every Horizon

If your plans include long-distance touring or exploring off the beaten track, the Triumph Tiger range is built to go the distance. From the road-focused Tiger Sport 660 to the globetrotting Tiger 1200 Rally Pro, these bikes offer superior ergonomics, luggage capacity, and all-day comfort. Choosing a used Tiger often means getting a bike already equipped with high-value accessories like panniers, heated grips, and crash bars, giving you more adventure for your money.

Used Triumph Rocket for sale

Rocket 3: The Ultimate Muscle Roadster

If you want to command the road with the world’s largest production motorcycle engine, a pre-owned Rocket 3 R or Rocket 3 GT is in a class of its own. With a massive 2500cc triple engine delivering record-breaking torque, the Rocket 3 offers a level of acceleration and presence that no other cruiser can match. Despite its imposing size, a used Rocket 3 is surprisingly agile thanks to its advanced aluminum chassis and high-spec Brembo brakes, making it the definitive choice for riders who want peak performance and ultimate bragging rights.

Used Triumph Sport for sale

Sport: Precision and Track-Bred DNA

For riders who live for the apex, the Triumph Sport category—headlined by the iconic Daytona 660—offers a focused, aerodynamic riding experience. These bikes are engineered for agility, featuring high-performance suspension and braking systems that excel on both twisty B-roads and track days. Choosing a used Triumph Sport model gives you access to a machine with a championship-winning pedigree, delivering a triple-cylinder punch that provides more mid-range torque than many traditional four-cylinder supersports.

Keeping Your Used Triumph in Top Condition

Stick to the Service Schedule

Triumph's service intervals are clearly set out in your owner's manual and vary by model and year. Staying on top of these, oil and filter changes, valve clearance checks, brake fluid replacement, coolant changes, keeps the engine in good health and protects your used bike's resale value further down the line. Blade Triumph's service department can handle all Triumph warranty and non-warranty servicing at both our Cheltenham and Stratford-upon-Avon sites.

Chain and Tyre Care

Your chain and tyres are your most direct connection to the road, keep them in good order. Clean and lubricate the chain every 500 miles or after wet rides, check tension regularly, and replace when wear indicators show it's time. For tyres, check pressures weekly (cold) and inspect the tread and sidewalls for damage. Never ride on a tyre below the legal 1mm minimum tread depth, the stopping distance difference is significant and the legal consequences worse.

Winter Storage

If you're putting your Triumph away for the winter months, a little preparation goes a long way. Fill the tank to avoid condensation, add a fuel stabiliser if it'll be standing for more than a few weeks, and connect a trickle charger to maintain the battery. A quality cover keeps moisture and debris off the bodywork. A bike that's been properly laid up is far easier to bring back to life in spring than one that's been neglected.

Blade Motor Cycles Limited an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Blade Motor Cycles Limited to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
