Triumph Trophy description

1968 Triumph Trophy 650 fresh from the barn showing 9024 miles.  I acquired it four years ago from the second owner who had it properly stored away for 25 years.   Photos tell the story.  Basically original except for headlight bucket, exhaust system and seat trim. 

Original paint, straight original tins and six-pack rack on the tank.  Straight frame, wheels and handlebars.  No signs of ever being crashed.  Easy maintenance single carburetor model.  They're only original once - the patina of this motorcycle can’t be duplicated.  Engine covers and all hardware in excellent condition. Tach needs work, needle.  Original showroom catalog included.  Numbers matching.  Texas title in my name.

Front end completely rebuilt including new fork tubes, fork seals, followers and boots.  Even has the fork lock key!  Neck bearings cleaned, repacked & adjusted.  New period correct grips.  New correct Dunlop tires, new tubes, balancing, new rim straps, new wheel bearings and seals.  New correct cloth covered wiring harness, sparkplug wires & battery.  All electrics work fine; headlight, dimmer switch, tail light, brake light, headlight bucket parking light, indicator lights, gauge lights and horns.  New front brakes.  Fresh engine, gearbox and primary case oils. Gas tank is real nice – no rust or leaks!  This vintage Triumph runs fine and is ready to ride.  Helmet & goggles not included.

This is an auction so please don't ask me for a buy now price.  Make an offer afterward if it does not sell this auction.  Bike is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early. Shipping is buyer’s responsibility and I will be available for pick up.  Non-refundable $500 deposit via PayPal required within 24 hrs of auction end.  Remaining balance by bank transfer (wire) within 5 business days, buyer pays all fees. The bike, title and keys are yours once funds clear.  Storage charges apply if motorcycle not picked up within 30 days. I am not responsible after it’s paid for so buyer urged to get an insurance policy right away.  I have excellent feedback except for one whiner who complained about the shipping and handling cost clearly stated in my listing for a low dollar part. 

Feel free to ask any questions about the condition of this motorcycle.  I strongly encourage all bidders to inspect or contract inspection before bidding.  The description of this motorcycle with any known defects is written to the best of my knowledge.  All sales final, no warranty of any kind, no refunds.  Your bid constitutes a legally binding contract to purchase this item.

Motorcycle Drifting, Part 2.

Fri, 13 Jan 2012

Today’s Friday Fun Video comes courtesy of the marketing department at Icon Motorsports. Following the success of their first motorcycle drift video, featuring Nick Brocha on a stretched Kawasaki ZX-10R scorching rubber with Jim Guthrie on a Corvette-powered Mazda RX7, the guys set out to one-up themselves. With this video, I think it’s safe to say “Mission Accomplished.” This time around, Brocha is joined by Ernie Vigil and they’re riding modified Triumph Speed Triples.

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

More than half of the new BMW R 1200 GSs that roll off the assembly line in 2013 will be fitted with Michelin’s new big trail tire, the Anakee III. BMW and Michelin worked together to co-develop the dual-sport tire, which is designed to deliver all the safety and off road capability big trail motorcycle users demand. The Anakee III will also be available as a replacement option for other leading dual sport bikes, like the Suzuki V-Strom, Kawasaki KLR, Triumph Tiger and Yamaha Super Tenere.

Triumph’s new Thunderbird Commander and Thunderbird LT are being introduced to the world’s media this week in San Diego, California. MO’s Associate Editor and FNG, Evans Brasfield, is on the scene and ready to test the latest versions of Triumph’s big cruiser, now with a new frame. The Commander sports a tougher image than the regular Thunderbird, boasting dual bug-eye headlights and a beefy 47mm Showa fork holding a fat 140/75-17 tire.
