1967 Triton

Registered as a Triton from 1967

• A well-restored Triton

• Registered as a Triton from 1967

• Only 165 miles since the restoration

One of the classic images of the 1960s heyday of British motorcycling is the Triton, a perfect blend of the legendary Norton Featherbed frame and the Triumph twin engine. Unfortunately, the original Norton engines were not as reliable, so the stronger and more readily available Triumph twin was often used.

This 1967 Triton has been registered from new as a ‘Triton’ and has been fully stripped and blasted and repainted in its striking Red. The forks have been completely stripped and fitted with new springs. The headstock has been checked with new bearings, clip-ons and leavers. The wheels are the original items from new, which have been refurbished, and new tyres and tubes fitted. The engine was stripped cleaned and refurbished where necessary and fitted with +40 pistons. It benefits from a Norvil charging system at the time of rebuild and is fitted with a maintenance-free Mottablott battery. We have been advised the Triton is running well and ready for its new owner. It is offered with its original RF60 log book and a current V5C.

Motobécane was a French manufacturer of bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles, and other small vehicles, established in 1923. “Motobécane” is a compound of “moto”, short for motorcycle; “bécane” is slang for “bike.” For many years Motobécane was France’s largest manufacturer of motorcycles. The Velosolex/Solex motorised bicycle was conceived during World War II and marketed in 1946, with 8 million being sold between 1946 and 1988 in France and internationally, having been marketed in some 70 countries. The French design ceased production in 1988. From 1971 the 5000 was an upgraded version of the popular 3800 model preceding it.

This 1977 Motobécane Velosolex Type 5000 was one man’s passion, he collected enough spares with the bike for another two machines. Most of the spares seem to be new-old-stock and the other components have been refurbished to a good standard. There is a large box file full of handbooks, information about the marque, and many receipts. It is offered complete with a current V5C.

The mid to late 2000s Bonneville strongly resembled the earlier models in style and basic configuration, but with modern engineering. At the debut the new version was given a 790cc parallel-twin engine, with the up-spec T100 receiving an 865cc engine from 2005. The Bonneville SE, with 865cc, was introduced in 2009. The uprated model still had the Black engine, cast alloy wheels and upswept megaphone exhaust silencers, but with a traditional metal tank badge, polished alloy engine covers and ‘shortie’ mudguards. Available with two-tone colour scheme

On offer is a 2009 Triumph Bonneville 865 SE, it has been in single ownership since new. The owner was always keen to keep it nicely presented and always maintained. Displaying just over 35,000 miles from new and still holding up well, it is offered with a current V5C. Please note: This machine is a Category N Insurance Loss. No Structural Damage and Repairable - Insurer Decided Not to Repair. We have been informed it was damaged because of a topple-over by the owner. The only damage was to a silencer and some smaller items which have since been replaced.
