1970 Triumph Trophy on 2040-motos

 Many would consider this Beauty the Best of Both Worlds ! ! ! DAYTONA /TIGER inspired Looks (Paint work) & the potential of TRIUMPH 500 TROPHY Dependability & Reliability  (IE) she's a little like a Single Carb. TRIUMPH DAYTONA / TIGER Tribute as She Sports TRIUMPH DAYTONA inspired Custom Candy Blue & Silver Paint...Yet, she has the SIMPLICITY, DURABILITY & RELIABILITY of a Single Carb CLASSIC TRIUMPH 500 TROPHY !!! ...Again, many Enthusiasts (Riders) would consider this the Best of Both Worlds ! ...(IE) ...Think About it when you are Ridding Her down the Road your legs will be covering the carbs ..so really whats the point ??? & Therefore, I think the Tank Detailing is really what you would see (over & above the extra carb ...that you (or anybody watching ride the bike)  really can't see it anyway ...while you are riding the bike) & it is doubtful that the effects of which you (or at least most collectors at this time) ..You may never benefit much from the 2nd carb ...& as a Reliability Note..with the single Carb... there are Absolutely NO Dual Carb. Synchronizing problems + Dual carb bikes have at least Double the typical Carb. Problems, (IE) FAR More Flooding issues etc etc etc etc etc as compared to a single Carb. bike..... "That Is The Reality"....I like GREAT LOOKING Bikes that are Super Simple & Typically Known for being SUPER RELIABLE ..that is why People "LOVE" these TRIUMPH 500s & why & HOW they WON one of the WORLDS MOST GRUELING RACEs on EARTH  "TWO YEARS IN A ROW" 1966 & 1967 ! "THE INTERNATIONAL SIX DAYS TRAILS" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REALLY ....You Can't Argue with Success !!!!!! My Rule of thumb is ......Simpler & More Reliable ....is Always Better with Vintage Bikes !
Bet You Didn't Know In 1966 & 1967 the TRIUMPH 500 TWIN (Not the 650 !!!) WON the "INTERNATIONAL SIX DAY TRAILS" I believe Two years in a Row back to bak !!!...Which is one of the Toughest and Most Grueling Races on Planet Earth !!! (IE) Which has Long Been Considered The WORLD WIDE EQUIV. of ..."The OLYMPICs OF MOTORCYCLE RACING" !
HERE ARE SOME MORE of Her Cosmetic RESTORATION DETAILS:
She has ~Brand New "Dunlap Gold Seal" 350X19 Front & Exact equiv. Style reissue "HUGE" 450X18 Rear, I have a ~BRAND NEW "TRIUMPH WORKSHOP MANUAL"for her !

Original TRIUMPH Nice front Stainless Fender & a Nice Rear Stainless Fender, Vintage ~1969's ENGLISH M/C SEAT With it's Original Seat Cover foam etc, Original Vintage 1970 TRIUMPH 500 Mufflers, I have THREE Sets of Exhaust pipes for Her that I will be including for the Luck New Owner & Most IMPORTANTLY Her ENGINE "TURNS OVER WELL" & Very SMOOTHLY & She Shifts GREAT + Clutch seems to grip Well, Wiring Overall Looks Very Good, & She looks Overall Very Complete... She has been in Covered Storage for many years and therefore the GREAT News is at this time is 100% off the DMV System (I will Provide a DMV Print out of this Vintage Motorcycle & a Notarized DMV Transfer of Sale for you the new owner, which what you will need to Register Her here in Calif again). & Please Note: She has not run for a while will need some finishing touches (a new battery approx. 25 dollars) + a couple seat & pipe brackets etc ...when you have looked her over  & completed the last few details & are all ready to go riding & Make Your "GREAT ESCAPE" on this LEGENDARY TRIUMPH CLASSIC before your bringing her back into service again. I feel what is here looks AMAZING...Please keep in mind I feel this is overall a nice Example of One of these LEGENDARY CLASSIC TRIUMPH TWINS.... When I first got this bike & even Up until a couple of days ago I looked up here Vin Number ~ 48735 & based on that alone I thought she was a 1966 or 1967 a Local Southern California Classic ENGLISH BIKE shop recently told me a Nice Example of one a 1967 TRIUMPH 500 single carb TWINS NADA.com (Blue Books) for just under ~$10,000.00 & for a twin carb Daytona/Tiger ~$17,000.00 TRIUMPH 500. Yesterday, I got some help looked up the complete VIN number & I was finally educated to the fact that the DD in front of the number means that she was Made in Early 1970 D=1970 & the next D=April   (IE) DD=April 1970')  & as of yesterday I was also told a nice example of a 1970 single carb TRIUMPH 500 like this Blue Books for about 25% less that the above 1967 values. Either way, if someone has some mechanical Skills I think they can make out like a Bandit.... as again I have owned TRIUMPHs off & on ..all the way back to the 1950's & I really thought this was a 1966 or 67 TRIUMPH as to me they look that similar ...At Only 3500 I think someone will get a Really Nice TRUE LEGENDARY CLASSIC TRIUMPH with the Potential of Being a GREAT Reliable & SUPER FUN Bike ... for Peanuts!
