1968 Triumph Trophy

TR6RDU68804

Here for your consideration is a nice example of a very clean, nicely running, numbers matching -1968 TR6R with 13,867 miles on the original working odometer. This is a no reserve sale...Winning bidder will own this very nice collectible classic! It is nearly stock: The new things are the paint, Tach & Speedo gauges, (I have original gauges, they are in bad shape however still functioning) exhaust, rubber foot pegs & knee pads. The tires are Kenda Co. Rear is a new Challenger. The front is a Mirage GT with good tread. I believe the seat to be a custom made? However it is the original pan, correct looking, and a very nice job. Very comfortable.Manufacturer Triumph Engineering Co Ltd Production 1956–1973 Predecessor T110 Successor TR7 Tiger Engine Four-stroke Parallel-twin Compression ratio 8.5/9:1 Power 40-45 bhp @ 6,500 rpm Transmission 4-speed (5-TR6RV) Wheelbase 55 in (140 cm) Dimensions L 84 in (214 cm) W 27½ in (70 cm) Seat height 55 in (140 cm) Weight 365 lb (166 kg) (dry) Fuel capacity 3 gal / 4 gal In 1967 the TR6 received some engine changes. Compression was raised to 9:1. and Bonneville exhaust valve and camshaft were adopted, resulting in a 5 bhp increase. This year was the beginning of the shift to unified threads. Mist Green replaced the Blue for this year. The TR6C got twin high pipes on the left side. This 1968 is a TR6R and has the same compression ratio I believe? The twin leading shoe brake was adopted in 1968. It provides superb braking and when set up correctly, performs as well as 70s era disc brakes. This year saw the introduction of the Amal Concentric Carburettor and was the only year of the attractive "Trophy Sport" decal on the side cover. American models had different decal schemes depending on the style. The TR6R was the "Sport" version with low pipes. The mufflers on this bike are not the original design but sound very nice. The 1968 correct colors were Riviera Blue and Silver. However, this one is done up in a beautiful metallic green and black, with silver stripes. It looks very handsome on this motorcycle. Thank you for considering my triumph. The bike is available for local viewing for ebay bidders & potential ebay buyers .
