Love the look of this T120, but I ll be honest I don t really know much about them!

Anyone who knows these bikes, able to share some thoughts? Is it a good one, or anything that stands out as being off? Apart from the price!

Thanks

Competition bike made or the American market. "TT" racing is a specifically US event - flat track with a jump and the need to turn right as well as left, nothing to do with the Isle of Man.

Would probably make a rubbish road bike if entirely original (very high compression, energy-transfer ignition, no lights).

Should be plenty of info online... some of it may even be accurate. smile

Entirely personal opinion - if I wanted a mid- sixties Triumph 650 to ride, it would be a single-carburettor TR6 Trophy. smile

My 1969 TR6 Trophy in 1972. Lovely bike, still on the road today somewhere.

Do those headlamp peaks work? They keep rain off of the lens?
