thinking of doing a restore project on this with a buddy. the front end looks like a speed triple, but they didn't have those in 95 did they? any help would be great!

There was a Speed Triple in '95 but not in blue. From the color of the fender, I'd say it was a Trophy. If the motor is any good, it could be a decent base for a street fighter project. Better would be a donor bike for a project.

Can you use the Triumph VIN decoder?

Hi,

I'll have a stab too...... With the oil cooler, position of the rear brake, handlebars and position of footpegs - it appears to be a Trophy. The colour of the mudguard hints to it being manufactured before '95 - Caspian Blue was a colour offered on the '93 & '94 Trophys. However the 3-spoke wheels started with the '94 Trophy.

Hope this helps?

Ooh! Ooh! My turn!

Sprints & Trophies both came in Nightshade in 1995, but if those high-rise bars are original they guarantee it's a Trophy.

Cheers,

just to throw a spanner in the works, i dont believe the faired models had the hose cover on the engine
as seen between the alternator, and block

speed triples have black fork lowers and swing arms(apart from the 750).

D750- That cover is there on Trophies, Sprints, & long-stroke Daytonas. Maybe it wasn't there on the pre-US import short strokes?

I would say that was a Trophy because it has a oil cooler

Trophimus it is.

Check out the pics on this very forum from the factory, vintage 1995.
