Triumph Tiger description

1958 TRIUMPH TIGER CUB COMPETITION
 Very Nice 

This is a very nice example of the famous Triumph Cub. It is a smaller version of the 500cc Tiger with a single cylinder 200cc engine and 4 speed transmission. This particular version is the desirable T20C or "Competition" model. 

This motorcycle has had a complete engine rebuild by BBC in Ventura, CA. It has new tires, levers and brake/clutch cables. It runs beautifully and has low (probably less than 500) miles on the rebuild. It doesn't smoke or leak. It has been converted to a 12v system and has a small gel battery hidden under the seat. 

Cosmetically, the bike is excellent. It is not perfect, but shows very well. All the paint including the frame is nice and shiny with no orange peel. There are a few very small areas of touchup. The chrome is extremely nice except for a couple of small areas on the rear rim where the chrome is chipped, and some very slight freckling on the headlight rim. Most of the fasteners are either new, re cad plated or re-chromed. The seat upholstery is original and has no tears. The hand grips appear to be original and could be replaced as they are starting to crack. One fork boot has a tear in it. The tank knee grips are brand new, as is the original chrome Ceandess "domed" gas cap.

There is a very reasonable reserve on this auction. It is sold on a bill of sale. A title can be obtained, post auction and AFTER FULL PAYMENT is made-please inquire. This motorcycle is not advertised elsewhere, and this auction is the exclusive opportunity to purchase it. This is a great opportunity to obtain a very desirable classic TRIUMPH. These little rarities are RAPIDLY appreciating and NOW is the time to buy!

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Triumph has revealed Special Edition versions of the Bonneville and Speed Triple for 2013, proving once again that nothing delivers a bang for the buck like cosmetic enhancements to popular models. Most appealing to our eyes is the subtle but sexy Triumph Speed Triple SE (pictured above.) Its Matte Graphite color is beautifully set off by soft blue accents of the frame, swingarm, subframe and wheel pinstriping. Included on the SE are a color-matched fly screen, belly pan and seat cowl.
