Triumph Trident description

1971 TRIUMPH TRIDENT 750cc 3 CYLINDER MOTORCYCLE SHOWING JUST 3100 ORIGINAL MILES RIDEN BY TWO ADULT OWNERS AND NEVER DROPPED. MOSTLY ALL ORIGINAL INCLUDING THE TRIUMPH SADDLE AND HAS THE USUAL "PATINA" FOR A VERY WELL CARED FOR 45 YEAR OLD MOTORCYCLE. HAS JUST BEEN PROFESSIONALLY SERVICED, RUNS GREAT AND WOULD BE A DYNAMITE EDITION TO YOUR TRIUMPH COLLECTION OR AN EXCELLENT INTRODUCTION RIDE TO THE EXCITING TRIUMPH PEDIGREE.

"Imagine, if you will, a Triumph Trident 750 Triple in 1966. What sort of impact would it have made in a marketplace filled with British 650 twins & a few 350s & a 450 twin out of Japan? Talk about being ahead of the curve! Triumph would have had a bonafide hit on their hands & could have firmly established themselves as the preeminent performance brand. As it was, it was the fastest motorcycle in the world when it came out in 1968, even faster than the first Honda 750/4's. Imagine that kind of performance 2 years ahead of the big Honda."

"TRIUMPH NAMING CONVENTION
The new bike was dubbed T160 in keeping with Triumph's nomenclature of naming its highest-performance bikes with a "T" for "Triumph" followed by a theoretical top speed. The reasoning was that if a 650 T110 TIGER was supposed to do 110, then the new twin-carb 650Bonneville 
had better be a T120, implying that if a Tiger could do 110, then the new Bonneville surely was good for 120. And when they punched it out to a 750, it only made sense that it should become a T140. 140mph from a 1973 Bonneville? I doubt it. But clearly this new 3-cylinder hot rod must be faster than the old twins, right? So, it was dubbed T150, telling all the world (in Triumph's own secret code that few understood but them) that the new Trident was a 150mph street bike. Doubtful, but it had a nice sound to it, nonetheless. So, with this awesome new Trident it only made sense that it must take on an even more ambitious name, T160."

"TECHNICAL DETAILS
The Triumph Trident, while a radical new design, was built along very traditional British lines & similar to Triumph twin design. It had vertically-split cases, a one-piece crank with plain bearings, two cams driven by a gear train on the right, with a primary chain on the left. The tappets, tappet blocks, pushrods, rocker arms & spindles were all right out of Triumph's playbook."

"A MISNOMER
Many think, & it is often repeated, that the Triumph Trident 750 triple is 'a Daytona-and-a-half', meaning that they based it on the 500 twin & added one more cylinder. This is actually not correct. The bore & stroke on the unit-construction 500s like the Daytona was slightly oversquare at 69mm X 65.5mm. But the Trident's bore & stroke are slightly undersquare at 67mm X 70mm, which it shares not with the Triumph 500 twin, but with Triumph's 250 single-cylinder line, the TR25. They supposedly chose the 250 single over the 500 twin because the smaller bore allowed them to keep the engine narrower. Hopwood & Hele actually had a plan to modularize the entire engine line with 500 twins, 750 triples & even a 1000cc 4-cylinder all built from the same basic architecture, but alas it never came to pass."

2014 LA Calendar Motorcycle Show Concourse d’ Elegance Report

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

The 2014 edition of the LA Calendar Motorcycle Show continued its now 23-year tradition as the premier outdoor streetbike event in America with producer photographer Jim Gianatsis moving the show this year to the beautiful green lawns of the Malibu Golf Course among the twisty canyon roads in the Santa Monica Mountains alongside the Pacific Ocean. Highlighting this year’s exciting activities was the emergence of another new and soon to be renown custom bike builder to the sport for which the Calendar Show is known for cultivating. Taking Best of Show in this year’s Calendar Bike Building Championship was Calin Senciac’s Imagine Vehicles International / ImagineVehicles.com motorsports fabrication shop with an incredible custom billet aluminum designed chassis built by Terry Ward and the shop crew, housing a legendary 1979 Honda CBX 1047cc air-cooled in-line 6-cylinder engine.

Vintage Bike Stash Found in Ohio

Mon, 05 Mar 2012

Brim’s Imports is a vintage motorcycle shop disguised as a used car dealership, and chances are you’ve never heard of the place or its proprietor, Tom Brim. If you’re in the market for a rare vintage motorcycle, however, it may behoove you to give Tom or his brother, Ralph, an old fashion phone call. A website does exist, brimsimport.com, but its for searching the inventory of late model car and truck parts — the cash flow supporting Tom’s motorcycle obsession.

Isle of Man TT 2014: Monster Supersport TT 1 Results

Mon, 02 Jun 2014

Gary Johnson narrowly beat out Bruce Anstey to take the first of two Supersport races at the 2014 Isle of Man TT. Riding the Daytona 675, Johnson’s win was the first for Triumph since 2003, ironically, with Anstey taking the victory that year in the Junior 600cc class. The race started three hours behind schedule due to fog, but once it began it quickly became a duel between Johnson and Anstey.
