1971 Triumph Trident on 2040-motos

For sale is a beautiful example of a Triumph Trident T150v. This is the first year of the 5 speed transmission. The bike has spent much of its life in an indoor heated environment after having undergone a mild restoration in the early 2000's by Jerry Liggett of Triple Tecs, one of the nations top builders of Triumph Triples from this era. There is a certificate from Triple Tecs verifying this work. The bike has had less than 100 miles since work was complete! The bike was just at Twinline Motorcycles in Seattle, WA for a tune up and to verify the running condition. This is a matching numbers bike. You can see how well the bike runs in the attached video. The pictures and video tell the story of the bike in detail. I am happy to take additional pictures and answer questions for perspective buyers. My goal is to find a good home for this amazing bike where is will be ridden, enjoyed and properly maintained. This is a very special piece of motorcycle history and would be a fantastic addition to a collection.

Winning bidder is to pay a deposit of $500 within 24 hours of auction completion. Once final payment is received and shipping arrangements are made the bike will remain at Twinline Moto until it is picked up by the shipping company. The bike can be stored for one week after payment is received after that the shop will charge storage fees of $15/day unless another arrangement is made with the buyer.

This is a 45 year old vehicle, and while it has had its fair share of reconditioning throughout the years, it is not by any means a new bike. I recommend prospective buyers complete a pre-purchase inspection. All prospective bidders should be aware of the ins and outs of owning and operating a vintage British motorcycle. This includes proper starting procedures, shifting and braking layout, and proper maintenance and storage, as well as general motorcycle safety. For a prospective buyer to ride this bike he or she must be properly licensed and understand general motorcycle safety before operating the vehicle. Looking around the bike you'll find a handful of minor flaws and I have done my best to picture these in detail. These imperfections include but are NOT by any means limited to a scratch on one of the two side covers, some spider cracking near the screws on the side covers, a small dent on the front fender, faded triumph logo on the seat, small cracking in various rubber components. The tires have good tread and the brakes both function however I would recommend that the new owner, update tires and service the brakes.

Thank you and happy bidding!
