Triumph Trophy TR6 1969

£5495

Great proper usable classic Triumph Trophy TR6. Fully restored back in 2006, then upgraded with a 750 morgo conversion in 2017, at which point the cylinder head was overhauled with all new valves and guides. A Mikuni carb and a Pazon ignition unit rounded the upgrades off to produce possibly one of the most potentially reliable/usable 1969 Triumphs we have seen in the shop! Viewing highly recommended!

By the time Triumph introduced unitary construction of the engine/transmission on its 650 twins for 1963, the TR6 Trophy had long been established as the single-carburettor companion to the twin-carb Bonneville, whose specification in all other respects it closely followed. However, although the pair possessed an impeccable engine, Triumph’s larger models were widely recognised as lacking in the handling department, especially when compared to rivals Norton. The most important ‘tweak’ to the Trophy/Bonneville frame was made for the 1967 model year, when a shallower steering head angle was adopted in the interests of better high-speed stability, and road testers duly reported a marked improvement in that respect. By this time Triumph’s two 650cc sports roadsters had been updated with 12-volt electrics and a full-width 8″ front brake, while other significant improvements for ’67 included a new oil pump and an increase in the Trophy’s compression ratio to 9.0:1, same as the Bonneville’s.
