Launched in 1956 as a stablemate to the 500cc TR5 Trophy, the TR6 was a legendary dual-purpose motorcycle, popular in the US
The 1956 model used a 649cc air-cooled, 42bhp parallel-twin based on the Tiger T110 and fitted with the new 'Delta' aluminium alloy cylinder head, a high performance camshaft and a single Amal carburettor
Low final gearing, wide ratio gearboxes and a high level exhaust meant that both models were suitable for daily use but were particularly capable off-road
The popularity of the TR6 Trophy influenced the design of its sibling, the Triumph Bonneville. After early models of the Bonneville were poorly received, Triumph redesigned it to resemble the TR6
This bike is an older restoration and has been in dry storage for the past few years, recently recommissioned and is now in good running order
Currently unregistered
No paperwork with this lot other than the receipt for the recent recommissioning
