Triumph Trident description

I’m selling my 1975 Triumph T160 Trident that I restored 15 yrs. ago.  The only part missing is the cover over the starter motor.  This was a complete teardown, every nut and bolt was removed, and the numbers match.  I have a photo collection of the rebuild which is NOT part of the auction.  I will be glad to show it to the winner bidder if they pick it up.  The owner’s manual and factory service manual go with the bike as well.  I did not ride this bike that much (5000 miles) since restoring, and have not ridden it this year as it does need new tires.  The bike drives and handles very nice and has plenty of power.  As is every year it will most likely need a battery since I don’t remove it in the winter.  I did convert the ignition over to the Boyer electronic which is a big improvement over the original three points set–up.

The bike currently reads 13K miles, but the cable was broken when I bought it.  The tach stopped working last year, and after inspection it most likely is the drive gear (available part) that engages the cam shaft as the cable and tach work fine.

Buyer must make a $500 non-refundable PayPal deposit within 24 hours of action's end.  The balance must be paid by cash, check or wire within 7 working days of auction's end.  Wire fees must be absorbed by buyer.

 

Bid with confidence, if you have any questions, contact me I will respond promptly.

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.

Looking after number 1

Fri, 06 Jan 2012

There was a time when a rider’s number indicated his position from the previous season, with the ultimate accolade being the number 1 emblazoned on the front of the champion's bike. The rise of branding in MotoGP and a rider wanting to market themselves, born from Barry Sheene and his retention of no.7, saw riders decide against displaying their finish from the year before. Rossi, who on winning his numerous championships, stuck with his famous #46 in defence of his titles, instead of stamping a great number 1 on his bikes.

DiSalvo, Myers and Riedmann to Ride Triumph D675R for Daytona 200

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Latus Motors Racing announced it will compete in the 2013 Daytona 200 with Jason DiSalvo, Elena Myers and Kenny Riedmann on the Triumph Daytona 675R. DiSalvo should be considered one of the favorites for the Daytona 200. DiSalvo won the 2011 edition of the race on a Ducati 848 for Latus, and nearly did it again in 2012, finishing second on a Triumph Daytona 675R sporting a special livery in tribute to Gary Nixon.
