"Imagine, if you will, a Triumph Trident 750 Triple in 1966. What sort of impact would it have made in a marketplace filled with British 650 twins & a few 350s & a 450 twin out of Japan? Talk about being ahead of the curve! Triumph would have had a bonafide hit on their hands & could have firmly established themselves as the preeminent performance brand. As it was, it was the fastest motorcycle in the world when it came out in 1968, even faster than the first Honda 750/4's. Imagine that kind of performance 2 years ahead of the big Honda."

EXPLODED VIEW OF TRIUMPH TRIDENT 750cc ENGINE. ABOVE ENGINE ILLUSTRATION AND TEXT BELOW ARE ALSO FROM THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED "CLASSIC BRITISH MOTORCYCLES" WEBSITE: "TRIUMPH NAMING CONVENTION The new bike was dubbed T160 in keeping with Triumph's nomenclature of naming its highest-performance bikes with a "T" for "Triumph" followed by a theoretical top speed. The reasoning was that if a 650 T110 TIGER was supposed to do 110, then the new twin-carb 650Bonneville had better be a T120, implying that if a Tiger could do 110, then the new Bonneville surely was good for 120. And when they punched it out to a 750, it only made sense that it should become a T140. 140mph from a 1973 Bonneville? I doubt it. But clearly this new 3-cylinder hot rod must be faster than the old twins, right? So, it was dubbed T150, telling all the world (in Triumph's own secret code that few understood but them) that the new Trident was a 150mph street bike. Doubtful, but it had a nice sound to it, nonetheless. So, with this awesome new Trident it only made sense that it must take on an even more ambitious name, T160." "TECHNICAL DETAILS The Triumph Trident, while a radical new design, was built along very traditional British lines & similar to Triumph twin design. It had vertically-split cases, a one-piece crank with plain bearings, two cams driven by a gear train on the right, with a primary chain on the left. The tappets, tappet blocks, pushrods, rocker arms & spindles were all right out of Triumph's playbook." "A MISNOMER Many think, & it is often repeated, that the Triumph Trident 750 triple is 'a Daytona-and-a-half', meaning that they based it on the 500 twin & added one more cylinder. This is actually not correct. The bore & stroke on the unit-construction 500s like the Daytona was slightly oversquare at 69mm X 65.5mm. But the Trident's bore & stroke are slightly undersquare at 67mm X 70mm, which it shares not with the Triumph 500 twin, but with Triumph's 250 single-cylinder line, the TR25. They supposedly chose the 250 single over the 500 twin because the smaller bore allowed them to keep the engine narrower. Hopwood & Hele actually had a plan to modularize the entire engine line with 500 twins, 750 triples & even a 1000cc 4-cylinder all built from the same basic architecture, but alas it never came to pass." |
