Triumph Trophy description

 1974 Triumph Trophy Trail 500 or TR5T.

Numbers Matching All Original Collectors Piece
Original Limited Production Numbers for 1973 and 74' were under 3000, with 74' only producing 929 models.
Very Rare - I've never seen a true, red tanked 74' for sale online. One could argue less than 200 are still in existence.
This was a Barn Find, 2 Owner Bike. I had known the man who owned it last who said it had been sitting covered for 15 years. The motor is free and running well, after a tickle of the carb and 1 or 2 kicks.

This Bike will only appreciate in your collection. in just a few years and existing numbers falling one could predict this bikes worth over 10 thousand dollars. What an investment. One I wish I could keep myself

Glen Richards back with Embassy Racing

Wed, 27 Oct 2010

One of the unsung heroes of the BSB paddock over the past few seasons, has to be 2010 Superstock 1000 runner up Glen Richards. A nasty tumble in at the Brands Hatch opener lead to four DNFs, but once back on track he pushed the dominant BMWs hard, finishing on the podium eight times. While many were trading their grannies to fund new S1000RRs, Richards kept the faith and rode the wheels off his Padgett’s Honda Fireblade.

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.
