Please Note: the seller is physically unable to kick start the bike in his current health. He has provided a walk-around video instead:
The term Triton came about as many private builders (and even some dealerships in London) started to take the best features of Triumphs and Nortons – the engine from the former and the frame from the latter – to make a bike that had the best of both worlds. Triton combines the two names (and is also the name of a Greek God).
Each Triton was custom and therefore different, but most paired a Norton Featherbed frame with a 650cc or 750cc Triumph engine. Today’s example on auction combines a Norton frame with a Triumph 750cc engine.
This example is VIN: 20118966.
The odometer shows 4,909 miles.
