A Piece of Motorcycling History

For 1972, Although the frame remained largely as before, the angular, heavy set Ogle Design styling of the first series gave way to a lighter, leaner more elegant and traditional style with a new smaller tank, revised mudguards and simpler side panels complimented by tapered silencers, slimline front forks bereft of gaiters. The groups new 8" twin leading shoe conical front brake and hub was adopted and the front tyre size now mirrored that of the rear. Both using 19" spoked rims. This very original condition 5 speed bike has a US spec tank finished in black with gold scallops and white pinstripes, chrome front and rear mudguards, Western style 7/8's chrome swept handlebars and Norton 'Pea Shooter' reverse cone silencers for a more sporty sound and a significant weight saving over the OE Triumph 'cigar' type silencers.
