Triumph t100r Daytona 500 description

This is a pretty much fully restored '71 t100r. VIN GG59028.

Full engine nuts & bolts rebuild including cleaning out the sludge trap. New clutch. Electronic ignition. New upgraded Amal carbs. lithium battery, new tires, oil pump replaced. Only leaks a few drops of oil. New rear shocks. Lots of seals and other trivial things. Valves recently adjusted, oil changed. This bike kept in heated - air conditioned garage with concrete floor and has never seen rain or salt. I have receipts for all work, mostly engine. Engine and 4 speed transmission tight, starts on first kick. Runs beautifully, I ride it to work frequently. Very reliable. Has turn signals, brake lights all work perfectly including the tach and speedo. I don't know if the mileage on the speedo is accurate.

There is a stain on the rider's left muffler from spilling battery acid. There is a dent in the rider's right muffler from the kick starter. I don't understand exactly why as they're both firmly mounted. (see photo). Otherwise, there is some external oil on the engine that I shower off now and then. This bike always serviced to the minute by an expert vintage Brit bike mechanic. Runs like a Swiss watch. I've had the bike for about 5 years.

I'm fully aware that no one gets the money from restoration back at sell time. It's for the love of the machine. I'm only entertaining selling as I have two other vintage Triumphs and three is getting to be too much to keep up. I don't have to sell this bike and I won't entertain any low-balls off line. If it doesn't sell, I'll keep it forever.

Triumph has released the third in a series of videos teasing its two upcoming adventure motorcycles, this one describing the bikes’ new chassis. We know from the first two installments that Triumph is developing two models, one focused for on-road riding, the other for off-road, and both models will use a mid-sized long-stroke three-cylinder engine. The third part tells us the two models will use a steel frame and feature an upright riding geometry.

The Triple's ready, three days early!

Wed, 24 Mar 2010

Mark Forsyth returned our Bonneville long termer today, and the Speed Triple was ready at the triumph factory to be brought back with him…three days early. Here’s a picture of it ‘wedged’ in the back of our new Ford Wildtrak. The bad news is, it won’t arrive at our London office until Friday, patience Andy, patience.

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

The Triumph Bonneville is the popular choice when it comes to flat tracking, but maybe it’s time to rethink that decision. German Triumph dealer Motocorner thinks so, anyway. Their flat tracker of choice?
