Triumph Other description

I’m listing this machine for a good friend who’s not very computer savvy..

This 1957 Triumph TRW 500cc Side Valve was picked up by the current owner back in 1972 and run occasionally until 2001; when it was decommissioned for display in the owner's collection.   The number 57-93983 stenciled on the gas tank identifies this machine as a Canadian military unit stationed originally at Canadian Forces Base Camp Borden.  Engine # TRW 26056 NA, frame # 26056 NA. 

All original and with a fairly light patina of use, this is an excellent 'survivor' level bike.  Only 2,281 miles showing.  I’ve posted a number of high resolution pictures on Flickr HERE and would suggest that you visit the site as there is a lot of good detail in the pics.

If Carlsberg made race circuits...

Fri, 15 Oct 2010

I should have filed this blog an hour earlier but I became distracted by the human circus that is the Jeremy Kyle show. It’s a shameful admission, I know, but I’m a firm believer in the policy of honesty being the best. Enjoying the luxury of working from home, I was only making myself a bacon sandwich with the TV on in the background when excited cries of ‘Freak, Freak!’ from Mrs MF drew my attention to this (see pic).

Watch: 2011 Speed Triple Dyno run

Tue, 05 Apr 2011

With the full factory fitted arrow system and map fitted it was time to give the Speed a run on a Dyno to see where the power is at. Over two runs the best results were as follows; Power at the crank : 130bhp & 75 ft.lbs torque Power at the gearbox : 124bhp & 72 ft.lbs torque Power at the wheel : 119bhp & 69 ft.lbs torque The bike has covered 4200 miles and is due its first proper service at 6000 so you would expect to see a reduction in power. Triumph claim on a brand new bike the Speed Triple at best puts out 135bhp and 82 ft.lbs torque at the crank with the cans fitted, effectively mine has lost 5bhp and 7ft.lbs of torque.

Akrapovic full system for Triumph Daytona 675

Tue, 28 Jun 2011

From Akrapovic is a new full system for the Triumph 675 Daytona: After extensive research and development with the Smiths (Gloucester) Racing team, Akrapovic have now launched a full system for the popular 675 Daytona. Although the bike has been available since 2006 Akrapovic have only ever offered a slip-on silencer option, electing not to develop a full racing system for this bike. However, after unprecedented demand from the WSS and BSS paddock for racing products the decision was made to develop a full racing system in a modular format that allows the headers to be added to existing customer’s slip-on kits.
