A Piece of Motorcycling History

1972 TRIUMPH TRIDENT T150 WITH MATCHING NUMBERS. Here we have another timeless classic. This UK Spec Trident T150 is in superb condition for 50+ years old and comes with matching engine and frame numbers. We have included a Certificate of authenticity confirming a build date of the 14th November 1972, supplied to Triumph dealers Coburn & Hughes in London on the 16th November and first registered on the 17th April the following year, 1973. Time Warp Cafe Racer spec in Metallic Purple with a very period Piper 3-1 performance exhaust system, single humped race seat like the TT Travelling Marshalls bikes used, chromed mudguards and period 8" conical TLS brakes. This bike has been carefully put together, it's totally period correct, especially in Metallic Purple and is perfect if you're looking for a great example of a early 70's British Road Burner. Essentially a 'Tiger-and-a-half', the Triumph and BSA 750 triples were launched in the UK in 1969, just in time to be up-staged by Honda's four-cylinder CB750. Differences between the Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket 3 were more than just cosmetic: the two models used different frames and in BSA guise the motor's cylinder block was inclined forwards. Only the Trident survived the Group's collapse in 1972, continuing as the T150V (with 5-speed gearbox) and later the T160 (using the slightly inclined BSA-type engine).
