Triumph Trophy description

1969 Triumph TR6C
Engine & Frame Number: TR6C PC05354

Produced from 1956 to 1973, the TR6 Trophy was one of the most successful models in the Triumph range, particularly in the US. The highly successful competition variant, the ?C’, popularly known as the "desert sled", sporting the distinctive high pipes, secured the model’s success by winning many competitions throughout the late 1950s and 1960s. It was built at the request of Triumph's sole US distributor at the time, Johnson Motors in southern California, as a way to target the growing number of desert riders. Steve McQueen’s fondness for the model is well documented.

For 1967 the TR6 received some engine changes: compression was raised to 9:1, and Bonneville exhaust valve and camshaft were adopted, resulting in a 5bhp increase. And the TR6C got twin high pipes on the left side, and folding footpegs. The twin leading shoe brake was adopted in 1968.



This great riding, and very original example from November 1968 production, is very presentable indeed. The engine starts easily and has good power. The gearbox shifts easily through a good clutch. Brakes work well, as does suspension with Hagon shocks to the rear. The Harley tail pipes are loud and raspy. Cosmetically, the bike is in very good condition, with usual wear and tear - not in concours condition, but presents well. The European tank is an interesting departure from the norm. Chrome is good, but with blemishes on the headlight bucket, as pictured. The bike is offered with a clean, clear California title.

With 12.22 miles of road winding its way to the 14,115-ft. summit, Pikes Peak International Hill Climb can be a daunting and dangerous challenge. Just ask our own Troy Siahaan who competed in last year’s “Race to the Clouds“ and broke his foot after crashing and falling off a 15-foot drop.

Triumph riding experience

Just got back from a sunny Silverstone where we’ve been given the chance to sample Triumph’s Riding Experience. Very nice it was, too. It’s not a track day.
