1969 Triton 500cc

Registration Number: WHW 241H
Frame Number: TBA
 
- Subject of 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 machine has been lovingly rebuilt by restoration specialist, using a Norton Featherbed frame and a Triumph 500cc Tiger 100 engine, which has been fully rebuilt.

The Triton is enhanced with an alloy fuel tank and hand made exhaust pipes. A thing of beauty, and a mere 10 test miles since rebuild.
