The 1973 Triumph Trident 750 (TI50V) The undisputed champion of road bikes. The Trident is powered by Triumph's ferocious 4-stroke triple. But as astonishing as its performance may be, it's still as civilized as an English gentleman. It comes equipped with a race-proven Triumph/ Lockheed disc front brake and a 5-speed gear box. The new chrome upper fork covers, classic chromed teardrop headlight and new 8" high-rise handlebars complete a beautiful package. Impressive to look at and awesome to ride, this is no machine for an average enthusiast. This is the motorcycle for the expert. The 1973 Triumph Bonneville 750 (TI40V) The most popular Triumph of them all is better than ever in its 1973 version. Its classic 4-stroke vertical twin engine is now a powerful 750. And a brand new disc front brake was developed by Triumph and Lockheed. The front end has been completely redesigned, with chrome now encasing the upper fork covers. The traditional Triumph silhouette remains but refinements make it sleeker yet. Seat height has been lowered to a comfortable 31". The 8" high-rise handlebars, slim-line gas tank and new aluminum taillight assembly add to an already beautiful machine. The 1973 Triumph Daytona 500 (TI00R) The latest version of a classic. It has the basic 500cc 4-stroke vertical twin engine that won two straight Grand National Championships. We wouldn't change the traditional low silhouette. But we've made enough improvements to keep the Daytona a step ahead of the pack. The brake and clutch levers have been reshaped for a more comfortable grip, shorter reach and greater leverage. The gas tank, slim-lined for looks and comfort, now features seamless construction. And it retains the most important feature to be found on any tank. An emblem on the side that reads Triumph. 1-8
