Triumph Legend?

I saw once. Beauty. Looks bit like Bonneville. Drivers part of the seat bit lower and i think the petrol tank is bigger. Is this actual model or ? I have visited few triumph dealers pages but don't seem to find it. Legend text was on the side of the petrol tank, tool box or the gear box. Don't remember. I have seen such thing only once is rare or just some guy decided to mod his Bonn and add the legend text to it?

Keep searching on the web, such as here:-

triumph legend - Ask.com UK Web Search

Anyway, it is, or was (?) an official Triumph model - I don't personally know much about them, but here is a link from the search shown above:-

2001 Triumph Legend TT

I think it was aimed at the USA market.

It was essentially a budget version of the Thunderbird aimed at new riders. It kept the same engine and frame as the Thunderbird but with a black engine finish, an even lower rear sub frame and 17" wheels front and rear. Was replaced by the lower performance Bonneville as the entry level bike of the range in 2001 and as such only had a production life of about three years.
