Your right this was on a Hinckley built Triumph 1200 Trophy. ;-)


Nice bike. I do love a classic brit - one of my mate's got a very large collection of Broughs. However, when Bloor decided to create bikes using the Japanese model, they started to get some serious performance.

I've got a 1988 ZX10 - about 140bhp, 0-60 is a nad over 3 secs, and 170mph top speed. Four years earlier Triumph were still flogging the 43bhp T140....


Totally agree with you at the time I also had a 1955 Velo MAC 350 and a 1967 BSA A65 Lightening ex USA export. When Morgan rang to say the build slot for my new +8 had been brought forward post 9/11 I sold the lot to fund it ;-).

Colin (and how could I forget my ultra distance favourite I had a BMW R1100RT 3 years old at the time I sold it, bought it new and put 60,000 miles on it and I was working away at the time a lot so mostly done in 2 week holidays where I rode it to Rome one year, Munich and almost Gibraltar on other trips)
