Triumph Trophy description

It's my opinion that only a handful of collectors are looking for concours restored bikes costing upwards of $15,000.  Most of us in the Triumph age demographic of 45 to 65 are looking for a handsome and reliable Sunday driver. So, consider this one.
I've sold most of my collection and down to the last few.  I bought this numbers matching Trophy a few years ago from a gent who started the restoration and ran out of energy or money or both.  The bike was completely disassembled and the motor was redone, so he said.  I did not split the cases to verify exactly what was done however, I did pull the head and found new pistons and a fresh valve grind so I made the assumption, based on what I saw, that it was done right.  No instruments were with the bike so mileage is unknown. The frame and tins were professionally painted.  The tank is a new reproduction.  I then went to my inventory to upgrade and/or add items:  Seat is Birtish Wassell; fenders are original stainless in very nice condition; rims are Jones and Dunlop with some light pitting, but very presentable; lights are original with Lucas lamp and lens; harness is new British cloth reproduction; exhaust is used but quite nice with proper crossover and I believe it to be original.  (As a "C" model, it should have high pipes but I couldn't see spending another $600-$800 to source the correct exhaust which just drives up my cost and your price.)  I prefer to use stainless fasteners wherever I can.  I added a tach drive as I like the look of both instruments mounted.  Gauges are genuine Smiths completely refurbished.  New handlebars, throttle, levers, cables, grips and rubbers all around.  It's now running an electronic rectifier and a Pazon ignition.  Comes with center stand and side stand which both work beautifully. Don't need the wood block.
You'll be getting a restored and very desirable TR6C at less than half the above referenced cost.  I timed it and set the carb by ear.  Starts easily and idles properly but you'll need to re-torque and tweak the tune as you sort it out and run it in.  It's fresh with only a few test miles.  Signed Michigan title.

New Triumph joins the family this Friday

Tue, 23 Mar 2010

With the nights drawing out it feels like an end to what has been a very long winter. I’ve been getting the train to work recently and if you’ve used London’s tube network in rush hour then you’ll know what I mean when I say the words ‘inhuman over crowding’. I had a call from the Triumph factory in Hinckley today and the good news is my new staff bike will be ready for collection on Friday.
