Okay.......sorry for the question and or the ignorance.

What makes the Super III so special ?
it is by far the most rarest of the modern Hinkley Triumphs.
13.1 to 1 ratio
lots of carbon fiber
very few made
i had one....booo hooo when the deer smashed it up
it was a sweet ride with deceiving capabilities even though of its size.
with the 3 into 1 TOR pipe..sounded AWESOME
just a classic beauty..

once you see or own one....you would know the feeling

hi only photos at present are sorry ones of it in bits as trying to trace a nasty sounding engine noise {a strange clacking noise only after 3000rpm
checked everthing inc clutch shims balance carbs altnr bolt ??? bike has been down on one side but very gentle tumble.i have owned a speedtriple for years but worked away and left it in storeage then another super 111 came up i made an offer on it and now its in my liveing room.loved these bikes and vowed to have one but at £11,500 new not a chance.i rode one last year that had done 65000 miles and was used everyday and it was rock solid a bit rough around edges {uk winters}but it was still 2 1/2 grand ....i will sort this bike out as its a bit of british history and rideing a t3 tripple is a great bike but a cossie engined one even better

New Super III Owner

Just bought a 1995 Super III with a bit over 6000 miles, but sat for 5 years.
Needed carbs rebuilt and all new hoses and lines but it's in awesome condition, has some very small scratches. Anyone have any suggestions that would or should be done to the bike. After work completed bike is awesome, will need to put new tires on in the spring.

Hi Dave,
I did get your message. Have been looking for his info. I usually keep info of folks I sell bikes to. For some reason, his info isn't where I normally file that stuff. If I recall, I do not think he lived in the Berkshires but he was close to them. I am still looking and will get back with you when I find it.

Tore my files apart yesterday. Found every bike transaction I have had for the last 15 years, except for one! Guess which one? I cannot for the life of me, figure out where I left my copy of the bill of sale with his info on it. I always save that stuff in the event I need to contact the new owner at a later date. Usually, it is to give them something I have found that was intended for the bike they purchased. I will eventually find the info and get it to you. Sorry it is taking so long. I know he is out there. My guess is, you will run in to him sooner or later. His (my old) Super III is yellow (like most, if not all) and is one that has the Cosworth prepared heads and cams in it. Actually, if I recall, all Super III's had the Cosworth heads in them. They were a limited production run in the US with only 150 or 175 being imported that year (95 & 96 I think). My memories getting bad.... Might have something to do with age! ;-)
