1969 Triumph Trident Cafe Racer -stunning! SOLD
An amazing opportunity to purchase a very unique motorcycle, which had a frame-up build in the USA for Classic Racing. It was brought back home to the UK in 2012 and had over £1, 100 of prep work done to the head by P&M (receipt present) and its owner had planned to use it in a project, but never got round to it and the bike went into storage, though in March 2020, it was road registered here in the UK, but that is as far as he got.
I purchased the bike and at much expense, my mechanic has totally been through the bike and turned it into a fast road going Cafe Racer and it is now ready for her next owner to enjoy.
A design by the brilliant Triumph engineers Doug Hele and Bert Hopwood, they put together the Triple in 1968 and launched it in September of that year to much acclaim; with Cycle World in the USA describing it as a ‘big, fast ground shaker of a machine’ which was fast, very smooth and revvy and a real step forward in progress from the old Meriden twins.
This absolutely stunning Triumph Trident is a matching numbers bike which was built in Meriden in February 1969 as confirmed by the Trident & Rocket Three Owners Club dating certificate as well as a VMCC dating certificate and is classed as Historic and now MOT and Tax exempt.
In preperation for the road, she had been fitted with a Boyer Electronic Ignition and has been fully re-wired with a new harness, battery and fitted with lights, speedo & ammeter etc. She is an easy starting bike and pulls really strongly as you would expect, with easy gear selection, but please note; that this is not a motorcycle for the feint hearted! With the head work and straight through exhaust she goes like a proverbial train and sounds amazing and the exhaust is very loud indeed! Please do look at the video (link below) to give you an idea of how she looks and of course how she sounds.
She has had much work done and many new parts including: new forks, front wheel, battery, Avon tyres, oil cooler, all new fuel lines and oil lines, all 3 carbs re-built and balanced, new wiring harness, lights, speedo, front and rear brake shoes and much, much more. It would be very straightforward to put her back to race spec, should you so wish, to use for classic racing.
The bike comes with two sets of keys, a folder with invoices, import documents, dating certificates, a book on Triumph Triples and the V5 is in my name.
A video of her running can be shared, just message me and I will send you the link.
I can send high -res images of the bike to you via We Transfer if required -please just message me.
Viewing most welcome (social distancing to be strictly adhered to) near Henley-on-Thames: RG9 5NB and I can help with courier/ or delivery if required, again observing strict social distancing practices.
This fabulous Triumph Trident has had a fortune spent on it and is an absolute crowd puller and at just £8, 750 is a fraction of the cost of what it would cost you to do a similar project and represents superb value. Shrinking violets need not apply...
