It had a 58 bhp (43 kW), 740-cubic-centimetre (45 cu in) air-cooled OHV unit construction straight-three engine, with four gears and a conventional chassis and suspension.[2] The engine had less vibration than the existing 360° twins.

Bike is an original unrestored 4-speed 72 Trident with original paint on the tank and frame. I have the original side covers with the original paint on them as well, but they are fiberglass and much of the paint on them has flaked off. Rather than have them painted I found two used side covers and had them painted with Don Hutchinson paint because they dress up the bike so nicely.
