I swore up and down a few years back that my days of vintage motorcycles was over. I was wrong. After driving over 2000 miles last weekend, from Virginia to Arkansas, I came home with this. A 1969 Triumph TR6R Tiger. The shots don't do the bike justice, trust me it is much rougher in person. Hopefully good bones to begin with, and a fulfilling winter time project. Nothing like turning wrenches and watching the snow fall...

Couldn't think of a better way to spend winter down-time.

VERY, VERY nice! 9 out of 10 people that come up to look at my Rocket, start the conversation with, "I used to have a 650 Triumph"

Looks to be all there and pretty much stock too. A great start for a project.

That bike is in great shape. I bought the same model in 1970. In a really great green color.

Looks really tidy .. and it's your colour. If you're not planning on selling it to anyone on here .. which I doubt , can I ask what they are selling for over there nowadays. Prices really seem to fluctuate depending on models and locations , so it seems anyway.

I love it one question Tiger or Trophy? I owned a 1969 TR6 Trophy in the late 70's didn't think they called them Tigers till they went to oil in frame.
