One of the classic images of the 1960s heyday of British motorcycling is the Triton, a perfect blend of the legendary Norton featherbed frame and the Triumph twin engine. The cafe racer style is still popular today with most modern-day manufacturers including the style 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 twin, starting a whole cottage industry in handmade specials.

This 1972 Triton was built by the first owner way back in the 1970s, it appears to have been constructed well and now has an aged look about it. It is based around a Norton featherbed frame and a Triumph T100 all-alloy engine. The current vendor purchased the Triton in 2011, used it for a very short time and placed it in the living room. It has not been used for a few years and would now benefit from some recommissioning before it is placed back on the road. The Triton is offered with its V5C.
