Triumph Tiger description

1966 Triumph T100SC Desert Sled

Bike comes with the original 1966 California Title and Registration. Bike has matching Frame and Engine numbers. Bike was built as a desert sled, and runs great. I did not personally build the bike but here are the things done according to the previous owner:
Original Koni Shocks
XL350 front end ( longer travel, and better brake)
T140 gas tank
Bates style seat
Original Bud Ekins pipes
Mikuni Carburetor
Handmade Aluminum skidplate
Big Bore kit
T120TT rear Fender (Very Rare)
New Tires
Period correct Q-filter/aircleaner/airbox

Im sure there is more that I forgot. Please look at the photos carefully and let me know if you have any questions. I just had the transmission rebuilt due to a false neutral instead of 2nd gear.
Here is a list of the service that was done last week:
Repair/Clean Carburetor
Run Fuel line dual petcock to single
Repair Transmission No 2nd Gear
Clean out Debris Trans Case
Clean out Debris Primary Case
Fabricate Intake Manifold
Shift Forks (2) Shift Shaft & Camplate
Fuel line elbows (3)
New Lock Tab Trans Shaft
Oils
30W Primary Drive
80W Transmission

Bike runs very strong, and is a blast to ride. With a headlight and taillight this bike can be ridden on the street, it was never registered as an Off-Highway vehicle. It does leak quite a bit of oil out of the left side case (Primary oil). It will need a new seal.

Bike is sold AS-IS with no warranty or claims of any kind. This is a 30+ year old motorcycle, and you are responsible for having the bike inspected before purchase and or riding the bike. I require a $500 deposit within 24 hours of auction ending. Buyer is responsible for all shipping fee's, I will do my best to assist any way I can.

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.

2015 Triumph Daytona 250 Spied

Fri, 29 Nov 2013

Spy photographers have captured images of Triumph‘s upcoming 250cc sportbike. The new sportbike (we’re calling it the Daytona 250 until Triumph tells us otherwise) is one of two new 250cc single-cylinder models Triumph is designed primarily for India, where Triumph officially started operations this week. There is a very good chance however the Daytona 250 and its naked roadster sibling will be exported to other markets including here in the U.S.

Craig Vetter Grand Marshall for 2012 AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days

Tue, 22 May 2012

PICKERINGTON, Ohio — AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame member and noted designer Craig Vetter — whose contributions to motorcycling range from the iconic Windjammer fairings and the Triumph X-75 Hurricane to the Mystery Ship limited-production high-performance motorcycles and a number of high-profile motorcycle fuel-economy contests — will be honored as this year’s grand marshal at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days featuring Rockers and Mods, July 20-22, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. Vetter has been a member of the American Motorcyclist Association and a designer since 1965, and his varied background gives him a unique alliance to both the Rockers and Mods motorcycle subcultures. His design projects over the years have involved café racers — the motorcycles of choice for Rockers — and scooters, which are favored by Mods.
