The Appeal

The Triton is one of the most celebrated cafe racer builds in motorcycling history. Born from the 1960s ton-up culture, these machines married a powerful and refined parallel twin with a light, nimble chassis. Each one is unique, and they remain highly sought after by enthusiasts of the British cafe racer movement.

This extensively modified example comes with a bill of sale from Bristol Classic Bikes in England dated 1992 and a collection of old TÜV papers documenting its past. It has been carefully dry-stored in a garage throughout the current owner's tenure and has never been kept outside. Cosmetically, it shows honest wear consistent with its age, dents, scratches, and patina on the aluminium fuel tank, lending it genuine character and presence. The vendor describes it as a machine that goes like hell, is loud, and has a law-breaking appearance. Prospective buyers should note that the battery is currently flat.
