  1974 Triumph T150V Trident 15767 milesRepost -Sorry - no foreign bidders unless you can arrange shipping yourself in a timely fashion - must contact me first. I can hold for upwards of 3 weeks but not 3 months. Here is a very clean example of this popular bike. I bought this a few years ago from a car collector who had it on static display in his garage. He bought it from the prior owner who, supposedly, did a mild resto on it but I have no paperwork to authenticate any history. It is being sold as a nice original because, in my mind, it was never fully restored. The paint is beautiful and, if it has been repainted, it was an excellent job – I can’t find any flaws in it. The rest of the bike is not polished up, rather showing its age and patina. The seat is a bit too nice – it could be a reproduction but I'm not sure. New tires last November - only one ride around the block on them. New proper petcocks.  I also just installed English made peashooter pipes for the sound and look. You do get the original exhaust pipes that are still in good condition. I have the owner’s manual and shop manual too. Last summer I took this bike on several long trips in the mountains here at 7000 to 10000 feet. Naturally it did run a bit rich at those altitudes but pulled strong and sounded great. Shifts and stops fine. Always draws a crowd at the local Moto cafe meet-ups. This bike does leak oil like many British bikes do. Lots of seams on these triples! I’m sure I’m forgetting stuff so please do ask questions. All sales are final. All my bikes are 50 plus years old. Anything can break or fail at anytime, so please don’t be a newbie to the world of vintage bikes, especially if you want something you can hop on, start up and simply drive away in. There is a certain amount of tinkering required with any old bike and you have to learn starting procedures, the running procedures, the “does” and “don'ts” of these old bikes.  Clear New Mexico title in my name. By the way – see the pictures – you will see one older picture with the original pipes mounted. You will get those pipes as well. If you are local, you are welcome to come see the bike. I have worked with many shippers and will help load the bike. The best but slowest is Haul Bikes. Otherwise many folks use U-ship where various carriers bid on your job, or, I have some names of reliable folks I have used as well. I can hold the bike for 4 weeks while you arrange picking up. If you come in person to pick up, Santa Fe, NM, is a destination spot and wonderful town to visit – plan a long weekend around it.NO BIDDERS WITH LESS THAN 5 FEEDBACK. YOU NEED TO APPROACH ME FIRST IF YOU ARE A NEWBIE ON EBAY. I HAVE TWO REASONS FOR THIS. MANY LOOK AT 0 FEEDBACK AS SHILL BIDDERS AND, FOR WHATEVER REASON, THERE ARE FOLKS OUT THERE, PERHAPS SCAMMERS, THAT WILL BID WITH 0 FEEDBACK WITH THE HOPES OF RUINING THE AUCTION OR SCARING OFF OTHER BIDDERS. IVE BEEN BUYING AND SELLING ON EBAY A LONG TIME AND HAVE SEEN IT ALL!FYI the bit of exhaust smoke in the video is just from sitting all winter long....cleared up shortly thereafter. Typical of any bike sitting a long time.
