Triumph All description

I purchased three motorcycles from an elderly friend recently. This 1955 pre-unit Triumph T110 and a 1971 Norton Commando and a 1979 Yamaha SR500. The Norton and Yamaha will be listed on separate auctions. This Triumph is numbers matching and has been partially restored. It has a fresh bore, new pistons and rings, fresh valve job, and great compression. It also has a Sportster front end with 21" Sportster front wheel. The rear wheel is a Harley 16" rim laced to a unit Triumph rear hub. Tires are new. The carbs are nice concentric Amals and complete. The magneto is all there. The primary was apart in preparation for a belt drive conversion, but inner and outer primaries are there and are nice. It has new header pipes. These factory hardtails are getting hard to find. This one is numbers matching and has a clear Kansas title ready for transfer. This would be a great foundation for a mild custom bobber or chopper. It is a great little bike that would be easy to finish and is highly collectible. It is being sold with no reserve! I can help load on to your shipper. Buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for shipping. Bike must be paid for in full within 7 days. PayPal is fine. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

I thought that I would add that I will consider a trade for a Sportster.

2022 Triumph Speed Twin Review

Mon, 16 Aug 2021

A little more of everything, along with Euro 5 It was just about a year ago when we sampled Triumph’s reborn Speed Twin for the first time on home soil, in a two-bike standoff against a way-more-expensive optioned-out BMW R nineT. At the time, we were slightly underwhelmed and had to rate the new Speed Twin second, by a hair. 2022 Triumph Speed Twin Editor Score: 89.0% Engine 18.5/20 Suspension/Handling 13.0/15 Transmission/Clutch 9.0/10 Brakes 9.0/10 Instruments/Controls 3.5/5 Ergonomics/Comfort 9.5/10 Appearance/Quality 9.5/10 Desirability 8.5/10 Value 8.5/10 Overall Score 89/100 It was mostly a suspension thing; the Triumph’s old-timey 41mm cartridge fork and twin rear shocks couldn’t compete with the R nineT’s plush, adjustable setup.

Charge Up you iPhone While You Ride

Fri, 12 Feb 2010

Motorcyclists can now enjoy total freedom on the open road confident in the knowledge that their cell phones, GPS, MP3 players and latest generation of iPhone/iTouch devices will remain fully-charged and in-service for the duration of the ride thanks to Powerlet’s plug and play systems. “Our product line was inspired by personal experience and the realization that there were no worthwhile options for clean, reliable on-board power for cell phones, stereos and GPS devices,” says Powerlet Products founder Adam Bonislawaski. “Before we came on to the scene, riders would bust out the black tape and wire strippers and cut into their bike’s fragile wiring to tie-in a cheap cigar lighter to power their devices.
