Bill's Trident

This is a 1975 Triumph Trident. It is 750cc and has 3 cylinders.
This bike is quite heavy compared to the 500cc Tiger (2 cylinders), but once moving, it is a great bike to ride. It also sounds amazing too......3 cylinders give an odd, but very nice 'song'!
Normal fuel consumption is around 45mpg via its 3 - 27mm carburettors.

Some additional information about my Triumph Tiger

Incidentally, this bike is quite rare in the UK, they were specially made for the USA market. It was made in the 'old' Triumph factory on Jan 1st 1970; despatched to California on 17th Feb 1970; and came back to the UK sometime in late 1998. It was partially rebuilt by the first UK owner, and I finished it off. It has one quite small carburettor (26mm approx) and can achieve up to 85 mpg. if ridden with some restraint.
