Modified Triumphs were already finding considerable success – flat track and TT's, scrambles, desert, hare and hound. In 1967, at the end of its limited production run, only 900 TT Specials were built. Beginning with and improving upon their street legal motorcycles offered at the time, the Triumph factory racer came with higher compression pistons, hotter camshafts and a high output ignition system, to produce 54hp at 6,500 rpm. Closer ratio gears were installed in the four speed gearbox, chain drive sprocket ratios were altered, and larger diameter exhaust pipes were tucked under the frame, without mufflers. Aluminum, or more durable stainless steel fenders replaced the street items. items like speedometer and lights were deleted. These stripped down bikes weighed 350 pounds, some 30 pounds lighter than the stock configuration. To further differentiate the TT from the street models, the Bonneville-derived 2 ½ gallon fuel tanks came with special paint schemes. For 1967 the colors were aubergine over either gold or white, pin-striped by hand. T120TTDU46047 tires appear new but have some cracking .should be replaced if one wishes to drive.
