Triumph All description

I purchased three motorcycles from an elderly friend recently. This 1955 pre-unit Triumph T110 and a 1971 Norton Commando and a 1979 Yamaha SR500. The Norton and Yamaha will be listed on separate auctions. This Triumph is numbers matching and has been partially restored. It has a fresh bore, new pistons and rings, fresh valve job, and great compression. It also has a Sportster front end with 21" Sportster front wheel. The rear wheel is a Harley 16" rim laced to a unit Triumph rear hub. Tires are new. The carbs are nice concentric Amals and complete. The magneto is all there. The primary was apart in preparation for a belt drive conversion, but inner and outer primaries are there and are nice. It has new header pipes. These factory hardtails are getting hard to find. This one is numbers matching and has a clear Kansas title ready for transfer. This would be a great foundation for a mild custom bobber or chopper. It is a great little bike that would be easy to finish and is highly collectible. It is being sold with no reserve! I can help load on to your shipper. Buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for shipping. Bike must be paid for in full within 7 days. PayPal is fine. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

I thought that I would add that I will consider a trade for a Sportster.

Triumph TE-1: a breakthrough in the world of electric bikes or just another fairy tale?

Sat, 20 Mar 2021

According to Triumph engineers, the fully ready-to-use TE-1 electric bike will weigh 220 kg, while it will be equipped with a 174 hp electric motor, and a 15 kWh batt ery will provide a cruising range of about 200 km. But the most important thing is not even these figures, but the charging speed: from 0 to 80% in just 20 minutes! This can already make even the most inveterate petrolheads turn their attention to "electric fellows".

Zard: a must have for Scrambler fans

Tue, 10 Nov 2009

ZARD EXHAUSTS have unveiled a tasty, white, full-length system to fit the latest Triumph Scrambler, at this year's Milan Motorcycle Show. Prices, spec and availability have yet to be announced but we think the system really brightens up the Scrambler's appearance. It's also a great improvement over the standard Triumph drain-pipe job.

New: Venhill 888 fast-action twistgrips

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

CONTROL specialist Venhill has launched its new 888 range of bike-specific fast action twistgrips.  Supplied complete with the company's top of the range Featherlight cables, the kits are designed for a straightforward replacement of the factory-fitted equipment.  Bike-specific kits are now available for the Honda CBR600F, Kawasaki ZX-6R/ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R600/750, Triumph 675 Daytona and Yamaha R1/R6, among others, with prices from £105. Here's Venhill's description of the new product: "Manufactured with a robust CNC machined alloy body, the 888 fast action twistgrip provides a choice of two settings and is supplied with two rotors so that riders can select the throttle action that best suits the riding conditions.  Settings can be changed swiftly by undoing the two set screws securing the throttle body and changing the rotor. On the fastest setting there is 80° of rotation, (taking up 36mm of the cable), which is typically 45% faster than 'standard' throttles.
