Used Dirt Bike

This is a great, reliable 50s/60's era Triumph T20 Tiger Cub trials bike. I am not sure of the year. Please check with your go-to Triumph guru for frame and engine manufacture dates. I do not believe that the engine/frame are matched.  The frame number is T71743. The engine number is T20 4959. The engine has been rebuilt and is on original bore. It runs and idles excellent, with no oil leaks and no ticks or unusual sounds of any sort. No fuel leaks either... except from when you tickle the carburetor to start it. I ride this bike almost daily, to run my dogs 2 miles down and back a country gravel road, which runs beside/behind my farm.

Both front and rear shocks operate well, with good dampening down and back up (these are oil filled forks of course). It has the light plastic trials tank. It has the oil tank modification - putting an "oil in frame" stub tank between the upper frame and the tank (can not be seen, except for front fill cap)(great workmanship on this modification)(2.2" diameter x approximately 18" length). It has Preston Petty Products "mini Mudder" plastic fenders front and rear. 18" rear and 21" front rims. No rust on rear rim. Some rust on front rim (has been treated and sealed). No rust on spokes. Needs new rubber front and back. Current rear rubber is slightly too wide and is scraped slightly by chain on one side and spark arrestor on other. Bearings on front and rear wheels are great. No leaks on forks and boots are supple. No leaks on rear shocks either. Header scratched significantly at front bend (see pics). No wobbles, tight forks/trees, swing arm, etc. Renthal bars. Clutch works flawlessly and does not slip whatsoever.

The bike is Trials competition or vintage motocross ready. It can easily run on the road as well. I have taken it on a 1 hour road ride in 90 degree weather, with no issues. It runs like a champ. If you want it to be street legal, you will need to add the necessary components (battery, wiring harness modification, headlight, tail light and brake light actuator assembly). I am happy to do that for an additional charge (call for quote, if that is something you want to pursue). BIKE IS SOLD WITH BILL OF SALE ONLY. If I do end up getting it street legal for you, I am happy to get it titled, but you will need to pay for that expense (inspection, title and registration).

A deposit of $100 via Paypal is due within 24 hours after sale. The balance is due within 3 days after sale. Please call to arrange payment and shipping details. Sale is at my door step. I will assist the transport company, but you must set up the shipping with a transportation company.  You take ownership at pick up from my door. I will ship internationally, same details as far as transport and ownership. 913-594-2798 Mike

Motorcycle Live and a few of my favourite things for 2013

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

There is lots of shiny new metal on show at Motorcyclelive this year but for me it’s the new Triumph Daytona 675 that steals the show.  We’ve been starved of brand new models in the Supersports segment for years but for me the latest Trumpet has made the wait worthwhile. And if its performance matches its looks then I reckon the 2013 bike of the year is a foregone conclusion.  The sleek curvy nose contrasts perfectly with the more pointy angular rear end and new side mounted silencer. It is lighter, more powerful and revs harder with much work on on mass centralisation to further improve handling.  Few of us have a whole lot of spare cash these days but £8899 for the standard model seems a fair price for such an awesome bike. That said I’d have to consider selling the granny and granddad to find the extra £1700 for the 675R.  Available early next year, and surely the perfect all round track day tool, this beauty comes with upgraded suspension, brakes, ABS, a quickshifter and some nice carbon detailing. The white 675R on display at the show looked even better in the flesh than previous images I’d seen so be careful or you might find yourself handing over a deposit. With no money left from the Triumph stand you’ll need your six special numbers to come up for my second favourite show item the AGV Pista GP Project 46. Although road legal this extremely light, full carbon helmet is designed especially for racing with a huge field of vision, extensive ventilation and superb ergonomics. It also comes with earplugs which suggests there may be some compromise in the noise department but it is still an incredible piece of engineering. At £799, this special Pista is also an incredible price but there will only be one hundred available and Raceways Yamaha reckon they are going fast.        

New Delhi Auto Expo 2012 – Motorcycle Manufacturers Draw Battle Lines for World’s Second Largest Market

Mon, 09 Jan 2012

In past years, the biennial Auto Expo in India slipped under the radar while the industry was focused more on shows such as EICMA in Italy and Intermot in Germany. But with India’s middle class starting to flex its financial muscle while other markets continue to struggle, the New Delhi show is becoming much more prominent, with major OEMs positioning themselves to claim a piece of the India’s 13 million vehicles-a-year market. We’ve already looked at India-produced Royal Enfield’s new Thunderbird 500 and Hero Moto’s hybrid scooter concept which debuted at the Auto Expo, and today we’ll look at what the major international OEMs presented.
