Named after engine designer Sir Harry Ricardo a replacement for the aging Triumph side-valves, it featured an innovative four valve head design and was capable of over 70 mph, set three world speed records and won a gold medal in the 1923 International Six Day Trial (ISDT). The engine achieved over 20bhp the same as a 1500cc car engine of the time. The cycle parts were based on Triumph's well-proven Triumph Model H side-valve. The 'Riccy' continued in production as a sports model until 1928.

This 1923 Triumph Ricardo on offer was purchased from the Brighton Museum around 1980. The vendor placed it in his house and that is where it has resided since. The bike was kicked over regularly and appears to have good compression and selects in all gears. A truly time warp machine, and with a little recommissioning will come back to life. It comes complete with a continuation RF60 log book from 1925, and an old-style V5.
