",mi.~~:4:=.·TriumphsDebut q,t Ontario unveiled their 1973 models at Ontario Motor Speedway last weekend. For 1972 there will only be one BSA model, the Victor 500 MX (second from bottom). The company will continue to distribute the Rickman machines and for 1973 a 125 enduro machine is being produced. Triumph will nave the most machines, six in all. The most startling is the Hurricane X-75. "Designed for the man who wants something different," they say. 1 t was designed by Craig Vetter originally as a 13SA but the BSA·3 was dropped. It will be a limited production model. The rest of the Triumph line has been updated with the street machines that were 650 twins being punched out to 750 and receiving disc brakes and high bars. The trophy trail was well received at the preview. 1t is a very handsome 500cc twin with a 21 inch front wheel. The exhaust system features a collector on the lower right hand engine area. Also to be produced but not shown here will be several other Rickman motocrossers, and a less exotic version of the Triumph 750-3. All Triumphs will have.either 500 or 750cc engines.· M " lil' 11. ,.. N '" o v o ~ w Z w -' (,) >(,) Prepored for the MOTORCYCLE INDUSTRY COUNCIL by Denker Creative Services Los Angeles.
