The Appeal
The 1952 Triumph Tiger 100 is a classic motorcycle that is cherished by many. Often touted as one of the most motor-sport ready of Triumph's product range, they've become synonymous with that golden era of fast British mounts. Designed to take advantage of Edward Turner's new parallel twin engine, the Tiger 100 proved to be a highly capable bike on both street and track.
This marvellous example is equipped with the complete Triumph racing kit, which significantly enhances its power and performance. The bike has been thoroughly refurbished to a high standard, with all the original road parts safely boxed and included in the sale. This gives the new owner the option to revert the bike to its original road specification, or to maintain it as a circuit racer.
All the road parts that have been removed to create this Tiger 100 circuit racer are in superb condition and are safely boxed in a wooden crate and included in the sale.

So, there are 3 specification options for the new owner to consider.
