1968 Triumph Trophy

Clear

I HAVE HAD THIS VERY NICE TRIUMPH TR25W 250 TROPHY TRAIL FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS AND MOSTLY JUST TAKEN IT TO BIKE SHOWS. THE ORIGINAL OWNER I BOUGHT IT FROM SAID HE HAD KEPT IT IN HIS LIVING ROOM MOST OF IT'S LIFE AND ONLY STARTED IT AND RODE ABOUT 5 MILES EACH MONTH. THE ODOMETER SHOWS 1,062 MILES WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE ACCURATE..HOWEVER I HAVE NO WAY ..TO VERIFY THIS. THIS IS A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF A PERIOD TRIUMPH AND I HAVE WON MANY TROPHIES WITH HER OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. THE OWNER TOLD ME WHEN I PURCHASED HER THAT HE HAD INSTALLED A BOYER-BRANDSEN ELECTRONIC IGNITION WHICH I JUST VERIFIED WITH A MECHANIC UPON A RECENT TUNE-UP INCLUDING A CARB CLEANING AND SET. STARTS AND RUNS GREAT!! THE BIKE APPEARS TO BE ALL ORIGINAL WITH OF COURSE THE ADDITION OF THE IGNITION. THE TIRES ARE DUNLOP K-70'S (GOLD SEAL) WHICH I HAVE BEEN TOLD WERE STANDARD ISSUE FOR THIS PARTICULAR MACHINE. THIS WOULD MAKE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTORS INVENTORY OR JUST A NICE BIKE TO ENJOY. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE THE 45 YEAR OLD FUEL TANK SHOULD BE CLEANED AND SEALED OR REPLACED SOON, SO I HAVE PURCHASED AN EXTRA FUEL TANK THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION. IT HAS ONLY ONE VERY SMALL MINOR INDENTATION THAT IS ALMOST UNDETECTABLE,HOWEVER IT IS THERE AND ONLY ABOUT THE SIZE OF A QUARTER. I CAN SEND PICTURES OF THE EXTRA TANK UPON REQUEST AND ASSURE YOU THAT IT IS A VERY NICE TANK ONLY NEDDING PAINT. THERE IS A CLEAR TITLE WITH THIS BIKE AND I BELIEVE YOU WOULD BE HAPPY OWNING A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF THE PAST JUST AS I HAVE BEEN,(WAS MY FIRST BIKE AT 15YRS. OLD!!) THE RESERVE HAS BEEN SET VERY MODEST FOR A BIKE LIKE THIS, SO BID TO OWN HER. SHE IS A BEAUTY!!!
