Summary:
Used 1974 Triumph Trident 15,767 miles
Location:
Santa Fe, NM
Description:
1974 Triumph T150V Trident (5 speed) 15767 miles Here is a very clean example of this popular bike. A nice unmolested example. I bought this a few years ago from a car collector who just had it statically on display in his garage. He bought it from the prior owner who, supposedly, did a mild resto on it but I have no paperwork to authenticate any history. It is being sold as a nice original because, in my mind, it was never fully restored. The paint is near flawless and, if it has been repainted, it’s an excellent job – I can’t find any flaws in it. The rest of the bike is not polished up, rather showing its age and patina. Nothing looks rigged under the seat and all the lights and signals work. The battery was recently replaced. I just put new Dunlop K series tires on it and they have had only one ride around the block on them. I did this last November. New petcocks. I also just installed English made peashooter pipes for the sound and look. You will get the original exhaust pipes that are still in good condition. The first picture shows the bike with the original pipes. I also have the owner’s manual and shop manual too.Front turn signals work but the rear signals act up and do not always engage. Likely a simple connection issue such as a bad ground, as they worked well in the past. Reinforces the whole old adage “Lucas, the prince of darkness!” Otherwise, horn works, front signals work and headlamp work fine. Last summer I took this bike on several long day trips in the mountains here – 3 hour rides at 7000 to 10000 feet. Naturally it ran a bit rich at those altitudes but it pulled strong and sounded great. It always draws a crowd at the local Moto cafe meet-ups. So, this bike does leak oil as many of my other British bikes do. These engines have so many seams. Nothing critical. I’m sure I’m forgetting stuff so please ask questions. All sales are final. All my bikes are 50 plus years old. Anything can break or fail at anytime. There is a certain amount of fettling required with any old bike such as learning the starting procedures, the shut down procedures etc.FYI any bit of exhaust smoke in the video is just from sitting all winter....cleared up shortly thereafter. Typical of any old bike sitting all winterClear New Mexico title in my name and anything extra that I find in my shop that goes with the bike, such as the original pipes, you will get them. If you are local, you are welcome to come see the bike. I have worked with many shippers and will help load the bike. The best is Haul Bikes imho. Otherwise many folks use U-ship where various carriers bid on your job, or, I have some names of reliable folks I have used as well. I can hold the bike for weeks while you arrange picking up. I will be traveling end of the month for three weeks and can leave the bike with a trusted shop if picking up between June 27-July 18. If you decide to come in person to pick up, Santa Fe, NM, is a destination spot and wonderful town to visit – plan a long weekend around it.NOTE - I WILL CANCEL BIDDERS WITH LESS THAN 5 FEEDBACK UNLESS YOU REQUEST PERMISSION TO BID. Just too many scammers out there.Being sold locally as well.
