1973 Triumph Trident T150V, 750cc. Registration number YTA 838L. Frame number T150V AH01728. Engine number T150V AH01728.
Introduced in 1968 as a 1969 model the BSA Rocket 3/Triumph Trident brought an entirely new concept to market with a three cylinder motor that was smooth and fast. The model was ‘badge engineered’ to allow both marquees to sell bikes to their loyal customers. Overall sales were good, not great with 27,480 produced in the seven year run.
The 1973 T150V used a 741 cc air cooled overhead valve three cylinder motor that made 58 HP with a 5 speed transmission that pushed top speed to 130 MPH. Exhaust was a 3 into 2 set up with 3 Amal carbs. Front telescopic suspension with a 10 inch disc brake, while the rear swing arm had dual shocks and 7 inch drum brake.
YTA was exported to the USA returning in 2015 where it was owned by Michael Jefferson of County Durham, he recommissioned it including a new clutch and it was MOTed at 21,189 miles. Our vendor bought it in 2017 and has hardly used it, the mileage today is 21,288.
When delivered both carbs were flooded and it started with the first kick and no choke, ridden around our premises it presents very well and should offer the next custodian an enjoyable ride.
Sold with the V5C, 2015 MOT and various receipts.
