1974 Triumph TR5MX

TR5MXEH75210

Clear

Here we have a basically brand new 1974 Triumph TR5MX with 330 miles on it. Motor runs like new because it's not really broken in yet. Just cleaned the carb and changed the oil and it started right up with the help of the compression relief valve. It has the leather tool bag on the rear fender in fantastic condition as well as the original Dunlop Trials Universal tires that not only have no cracks but the rubber has a new creamy feel to them. The seat is original and also show room condition as are all the other parts on this bike, I think you would be hard pressed to find a better example of this model thumper. One of the challenges was keeping the front wheel down when shifting through the gears at speed, tons of torque. This bike was used in the Modern Classics book a couple of years ago.
