One of the classic images of the 1960s heyday of British motorcycling is the Triton, a perfect blend of the legendary Norton Featherbed frame and the Triumph twin engine. The 'Cafe Racer' style is still popular today with most modern-day manufacturers including one in their range. Unfortunately, the original Norton engines were not as reliable so an obvious answer was to replace them with the stronger and more readily available Triumph twin, starting a whole cottage industry in handmade specials.
We have been informed this Triton was created many years ago, was rebuilt just a few years ago and has not been used much since completion. The current owner, now in his 80s, has decided to let it go due to his age. Last run at the end of last year, light recommissioning will be required to place it back on the road. It is offered with a continuation RF60.
