1958 TRITON 650cc
Registration Number: 482 XVW
Frame Number: TBA
Recorded Mileage: 14 miles
- Subject of a thorough nut and bolt restoration
A favourite with the 60s Rockers, Tritons were not factory-built machines, but constructed by enthusiasts, combining the best parts from Triumphs and Nortons to construct what was deemed a superior motorcycle.
The name Triton is a contraction of TRIumph and NorTON it was also the name of a mythological Greek God. Normally a Triumph engine was fitted into a Norton frame. The Norton Featherbed frame was by far the best handling of it’s day and a Triumph 650 Bonneville was the favoured choice of engine.
This beautiful Triton is the result of a full nut and bolt restoration by a specialist builder, using a Norton Featherbed Wideline frame with Norton Roadholder forks. The engine is a modified Triumph Tiger 110 650cc with a Rickman 8 valve top end.
A leftfield choice, a thing of beauty and a fast one, at that, this stunning machine has completed a mere 14 test miles since completion.
