Good Choice
Good choice of bikes Andrew.
I ride a 1996 Trophy 1200, Pacific Blue, and love it. The only exceptionis that in strong winds it is a little bit like wrestling with a snake.
I wouldn't worry about the lights dimming at idle unless you do a large amount of heavy traffic in which case I would just turn up the idle speed a bit.
The bike took a big change in body style between the 1995 and 1996 model. You should check your Vehicle Identification Number if you are not sure. The 1996 models started at 29156 so if your number is lower than that it is a 1995 or older.
An excellent resource is triumphrat.net
This bike will get you many miles and more than one second glance.
Have fun.
