The perfect combination of the best of Norton and Triumph
Slimline frame with a 6T engine and twin carb alloy head
Classic Triton Cafe Racer specification supplied with a V5C
One of the classic images of the 1960s heyday of British motorcycling is the Triton combining Norton’s featherbed frame, which was initially developed for racing setting new standards for handling, with a dependable Triumph-twin motor. Unfortunately, the original Norton engines were not that reliable, so an obvious answer was to replace them with the stronger and more readily available Triumph 650 twins, starting a whole cottage industry in handmade Cafe Racer specials.

This Triton Cafe Racer, being offered at 'no reserve', has been on display in the vendor's office for number of years as part of his small private collection of bikes. It appears to have been put together in 1974, hence the 'N' registration number, and as the V5C states 'assembled from parts, some or all of which are not new'. The frame is a Slimline Featherbed with Roadholder forks up-front supporting Norton brakes on alloy rims. The fuel tank is alloy with a bespoke central alloy oil tank, a single seat, alloy mudguards, rear sets and clip-on handlebars completing the classic look. The engine looks to be a pre-unit 6T, numbered 6T08523, with an alloy twin carb head and a pair of Amal Concentrics. It has not run for a while so will need recommissioning before use and it comes supplied with a current V5C.
