• The perfect combination of the best of Norton and Triumph
• Slimline Featherbed with a single carb Triumph 650cc engine
• Ideal winter project, supplied with old MOTs and a current V5C

One of the classic symbols of the 1960s heyday of British motorcycling is the Triton, a perfect blend of the legendary Norton featherbed frame and the Triumph 650 twin engine. The 'cafe racer' style is still popular 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 650 twin, starting a whole cottage industry in handmade specials.
This Triton is the classic combination of a Norton slimline featherbed frame, Norton Roadholder forks and an alloy head Triumph 650 6T engine. Put together by the vendor about 15 years ago, it is fitted with alloy rims, Dunlop TT100s, Triumph twin-leading shoe front brake, Norton rear brake, single sports seat, rear-set footrest, clip-on handlebars, alloy central oil tank and a bespoke alloy fuel tank adapted from a Harley Davidson custom bike with a flush fitting filler cap. The engine was overhauled at the time, with the crank professionally balanced to 85%. The bike has not been used for a while due to ill-health but will make an ideal winter restoration project with all the major 'cafe racer' items in place. The engine turns over with compression and it comes supplied with a few old MOTs and a current V5C.
