1970 Triumph TR6C - $5995 This is a very nice original 1970 Triumph TR6C (650cc twin w/ single carburetor and high pipes) with about 18,000 miles. The gas tank appears to have the original paint along with the factory seat, stainless steel fenders and all the correct factory parts. The bike has the patina of a 43 year old machine that has seen some use and is collectable as an original survivor. It is in very good condition, runs well and has recently had a new rear tire installed, new battery, refurbished Amal concentric carburetor with new Stay-up float, new throttle needle & jet, new throttle cable and new foot and passenger peg rubbers. The bike has also been recently serviced with engine, gearbox and fork oil changed as well as timing and valve lash checked. This TR6C comes with a clear Oregon title and has current license so is ready to ride on the street. Call Tom at 503.621.8943
