So I bought this bike about 5 minutes after buying the ’73 Honda CB450. I had already looked at it twice before, but at first didn’t think I wanted to take it on. But how could I pass on a Triumph? Clearly there was little to no difference between mine and the one below.
Let’s see:
– Headlight not attached for unknown reasons
– One gauge not attached
– Chrome fender up front replaced with plastic
– Chrome in meh condition, most of it pealing off the rims
– Tires dry rotted
– Seat says Honda on it
– Carburetor falling off and clearly broken
– Doesn’t run but only 7,029 miles
Upshot:
– Dah, it’s a Triumph
– This article in Motorcycle Classics just came out and didn’t throw it under the bus completely
– It fits in the garage and was two miles from my house

But yours has the original Lucas flashers and that looks like the rare undimpled front fender.
Who cares? they’re great fun in traffic!
