Triumph Trophy description

 1974 Triumph Trophy Trail 500 or TR5T.

Numbers Matching All Original Collectors Piece
Original Limited Production Numbers for 1973 and 74' were under 3000, with 74' only producing 929 models.
Very Rare - I've never seen a true, red tanked 74' for sale online. One could argue less than 200 are still in existence.
This was a Barn Find, 2 Owner Bike. I had known the man who owned it last who said it had been sitting covered for 15 years. The motor is free and running well, after a tickle of the carb and 1 or 2 kicks.

This Bike will only appreciate in your collection. in just a few years and existing numbers falling one could predict this bikes worth over 10 thousand dollars. What an investment. One I wish I could keep myself

Triumph introduced a new urban hooligan

Mon, 05 Feb 2018

Naked Speed Triple got an update! The super-charismatic Speed Triple first appeared in 1994 and was essentially a Daytona 900 sportbike without a fairing. The new device is presented in the S and RS versions, carries the former 1050 index, but can do something more than its predecessor.

MPG or BHP?

Thu, 05 Jan 2012

If you were a child of the seventies, you may remember Craig Vetter’s name from his previous work as a stylist (Triumph Hurricane) or his huge fairing business, Vetter Fairings.  Since then, the 69 year-old industrial designer has become obsessed by fuel consumption - or rather highlighting how poor motorcycles are delivering impressive figures. He originally ran a series of fuel challenges in the eighties and now the economy has taken a nose dive, he has resurrected the competition, figuring that the time is now right to highlight these issues again. According to Vetter, three of every four American gallons of petrol is imported – reason enough to devote his time to raising awareness.

Transport Canada has announced a recall for the 2013 Triumph Trophy SE because of a potential fuel leak. As yet, no recall has been announced for the U.S., but we expect one to be announced shortly by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
