Triumph Tiger description

You are bidding on a 1976 Triumph Tiger (TR7RV). The bike is basically stock, except for the following changes:

-carburettor which has been replaced with a Mikuni

-side panels

-headlight & headlight cowl

-taillight

-small turn signals

-The previous owner rewired it and installed a Sparx ignition, and put a few information labels you'll see on the bike

The bike has recently had a new head gasket installed - I have ridden it about 50 miles since that was installed, long enough to retorque the head, and I try to ride it at least every other day because its fun - and to keep it limber for its next owner!

It runs well, shifts cleanly, sounds great.

There are three visual but not functional defects which are apparent in the photographs:

- the front brake rotor has lost some chrome the shape of the brake pucks when at some point in its previous life it must have been parked a while

-the rear brake rotor is scratched

-The tank has one small pint chip out of it.

1976 was the first year the Tiger was offered with left side gear shifter, which makes this a nice step into old British bikes without having to go through the right side shifting transition which can be a bit treacherous if you're not used to it. The bike is basically standard (except as noted in the condition notes) but if I've missed something obviously non-stock in the photos, please send me a message and I'll update the listing!

If you win the auction, I will require a $500 deposit via Paypal within 48 hours of closing the auction. The balance will need to be paid in cash prior to the bike leaving my property, or by personal check which must clear before the bike can leave. I unfortunately cannot assist with shipping arrangements other than helping to load the bike into a truck or trailer. The title is clear and in my name.

I like the bike, but am selling it to purchase something newer. The bike is listed locally also, and I reserve the right to terminate this listing should a successful deal be struck locally.

Thanks for looking!

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.

Recall for 2010 Triumph Thunderbird

Mon, 16 May 2011

Triumph Motorcycles is starting a recall campaign on certain 2010 Thunderbird cruisers due to a problem with the front fender fasteners. On certain 2010 Triumph Thunderbirds, including some ABS-equipped units, the four screws on the front fender mounts may come loose. According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the plating used on the fender mounting included friction modifiers which are not compatible with the thread lock compound used on the screws.

I should have filed this blog an hour earlier but I became distracted by the human circus that is the Jeremy Kyle show. It’s a shameful admission, I know, but I’m a firm believer in the policy of honesty being the best. Enjoying the luxury of working from home, I was only making myself a bacon sandwich with the TV on in the background when excited cries of ‘Freak, Freak!’ from Mrs MF drew my attention to this (see pic).
