Triumph Trident description
|
This original un-restored machine is 100% as it was when delivered from the factory 41 years ago with the exception of the oil pressure warning light being replaced by an actual oil pressure gauge. It is one(1) of four(4) bikes for sale from my collection, and is currently part of a two(2) month exhibit ending 9/5/16 at The Stony Brook Museum Educational and Cultural Center in Stony Brook, New York. I have owned and maintained this bike for 15 years, having put about 10,000 trouble free miles on it during that time. 1975 was the only full year in which this 5-speed triple cylinder 750 with triple amal carbs and electric start was produced, and it came equipped with Girling shocks and Lockheed hydraulic disc brakes on the front and the back. All the prior years production Tridents (T-150's) were kick-start only, and the cylinders were angled forward 15 degrees in order that the automotive type electric starter could be fitted into the T-160. In addition to the re-positioning of the engine, the T-160 came with a new frame just like the production racer "Slippery Sam", the most famous Trident of all that notched up three consecutive Production TT wins in '72, '73, and '74, and many other racing honors. The swinging arm is longer, and the front forks are shorter, all to get the weight lower and further forward. This bike handles in the true British tradition. With a top speed of approximately 126mph, it was 15 mph faster than it's contemporary the 850 Commando when tested by BIKE magazine in 1975, and was actually quicker than the Kawasaki H2. It was stated in that road test report that "If the Trident had been like this seven years ago, there wouldn't be half as many Honda fours on the road now" Approximately 7000 T-160's were built in total, and it has been called the original Triumph firm's best, and arguably only, true superbike. This machine has a clean New York Title and comes with the original 76 page Owner's Handbook, Factory Workshop Manual and Parts Catalog in Factory hard-cover 3-ring binder, and an indoor full cover.

New: Venhill 888 fast-action twistgrips
Fri, 01 Mar 2013CONTROL 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.

2014 Triumph America Horizon Revealed in CARB Documentation
Mon, 18 Mar 2013New documents released by the California Air Resources Board reveal the existence of a new model from Triumph to be called the America Horizon for the 2014 model year. As its name implies, the 2014 Triumph America Horizon will likely be based on the existing Triumph America (the 2012 America is pictured above with touring accessories as an illustration.) The CARB documents confirm it will use the same 865cc parallel-Twin engine as the America as well as the Bonneville, Scrambler, Thruxton and the Speedmaster. We predict a claimed output of 60hp at 6800rpm and 53 ft-lb.
