I've been thinking of buying a bike the same age as me and this is the best I have seen of that era, but just spent all my money
agree with Bradders, looks stunning, but without seeing in the flesh, who knows (and no disrespect intneded to the OP, whatsoever)
A Triton with an electric start is a very attractive proposition for those elderly 'Rocker Boys' who have given up on kick starting their old bikes.
'Elderly Rocker Boys', teehee. Poor old souls. Us 'old Scooter Boys' laugh at you and your kickstart trusses.
It looks very nice with some loverly parts, looks like it's a new modern engine, not the old pre_ unit. Steve
It is an engine from a Hinkley Triumph Steve.You can actually buy new Featherbed styled frames to accomodate the newer Triumph engines.I did toy at one time about having one built.
I am also an old' Scooter Boy,'having a Lambretta GT200 round about 1966.only recently came over to the dark side of motorbike ownership.
Also known as the TV200. I used to use the gearbox from those in my tuned lammies as it had the best ratio. Esp the longer 4th. Then one day I bought a GS750DB Suzuki for less than it cost me to tune my scoots and it had brakes that worked.
