TRX75XH02xxx

Clear

Up for auction is an all original, unrestored, unmolested 1973 Triumph X75 Hurricane, The X75 was designed by the legendary Craig Vetter in an attempt by Triumph to capitalize on the movie Easy Rider. From the design the then factory BSA/Triumph built 1157 of this model specifically for the US market, it was never offered in the home country of England. While they utilized the BSA Rocket III engine it was branded “Triumph” as that was a more successful marquee for the US market. After 38 years I’m not sure just how many are still around let alone in this quality condition. I purchased the bike in 2000 and this Hurricane is 99% original the only thing not original is the Boyer electronic ignition I had put on a few years back to make sure it was easy to start for me (I’m getting older to kick them over J ) however, I never actually put it on the road I put it back on display in my heated basement showroom. Now it’s time to let someone else enjoy this. While I am not sure of the exact mileage, the quality of the bike leads me to believe it is low. I believe I am the 3rd or 4th owner. The only reason for selling this bike is a downsizing of my collection. This classic will make a great addition to anyone's collection. Take a look at the pictures, I will try to answer any and all questions. I will provide a bill of sale and US Title document, please be respectful and bid only if you have the funds to follow through on the purchase, I've set the reserve appropriately; please do not ask what it is.
