Hi there

I'm new to the site. Me and my husband are Triumph mad but have only just gotten the internet on. I couldn't work out how to put a new post on but here I am.

Hey can anyone out there help us???? We're in Australia. What would you buy a Triumph Trident T160 1975 model for if it was in good condition?????

Thanks in anticipation. Will look forward to any replies.

Hey there Scooby. A quick search on google indicates that they are fetching around $3500 to $4000 (US) on ebay.
You might also want to see if there are any listed on www.walnecks.com or www.cycletrader.com to check going prices.
Good luck and ride safe.

By way of comparison, there are two T160s in this months Classic Comic, one for £5000 and the other for £6000, although the £6000 bike does look nice in its photo. There is also a US spec T150 asking price £3000, which looks nice in the photo.

Hi Scooby
There are two T150's and a T160 on ebay Australia at the moment. They might be worth watching to get a bit of an idea. Good Luck. Regards Coopers

Hey Scooby, welcome.

Does that mean you're selling your T160?

Wayne Olbrich in Wollongong had a late Trident for sale about 3 months ago and I think he got about $9,000 AUD for it.

"Miker, Okie and Dagad all came back at once"

Never really went away, just didn't have anything of real value to add :wink: You see, I don't really qualify for this forum, except for the fact that I WANT an old Triumph!

good place to start is a IH cub cadet (mine is abig single)
or you can claim to have an old Triumph. A friend of mine says there are more Rocket 3's on this web site than made in the last couple of years. Two that have taken exception to my opinions of sidecars and Hinckley-Davidson's dont own the old bikes either. So jump on in the waters great! :-D

 

[dirtyharry]

Have a look on Bikesales.com.au, there's one advertised for $9000. Looks ok. I'd say they are around $7000-$10.000 depending on condition.

 

[KADUTZ]

just went out on that site the prices down under are VERY RELIGIOUS. I looked at the twins listed and even the not right ones are not low dollar.
Only proves no matter where you are gotta know what your buying.

.......yet. As I've said before I'm buying a Tiger Cub in the new year when my saving scheme pays out.

And so, yes I'm still looking in here every so often and yes I am one who took exception to your comments.

Does riding a 3HW count??? It's my dad's admittedly, but how old a Triumph do you want? It's older than he is. :razz:
And my inheritance. Yeah I'm only a kid compared to some older Triumph riders (and a girl to boot) but don't upset the kids out there....we're the future of Triumphs. Hinkley or Meriden. Or even Coventry. We're the ones who'll be riding them in 50 years time.

And yes I will still be riding the 3HW, complete with it's original engine for it's frame like it has now... just not with the ***** tyres it has on now. (and before that gets a remark, my dad says that too).

And sorry to Scooby and the others for hijacking the thread.

Tell ya what Gina
You cant be out here very often as the comment you are responding to was posted 11/02/06. I didnt respond to your last posting as it was obvious you did not understand what was being said. I will try to find it now and respond at MY convience and yes I saw your picture that was posted at the track on your Hinckley bike. GOD help you if you ever have to get up on the pegs to avoid something in the road. (note spelling of Hinckley for future reference)
Aint gonna happen, you gonna crash and probaly be hurt ,not something I wish even on Mr Hagy. If you dont know who he is go to the first posting in this forum(He is the shop owner in Chicago everybody loves).
As far as the female bit get the chip off your shoulder. If you are a rider I dont care whats between your legs or on your chest. A rider to me is a rider male/female, black/white , communist/socailist/ capitalist I never cared. Motorcycling to me as always been a level field.
Hope you have a good day

Now c'mon folks, I know we're all long-term Triumph fanatics here but there isn't anything in this forum worth getting personal over.

If one person feels that they are being mis-understood - it's no big deal to say so and work through any mis-communication.

If you are offended by someone else's post, reciprocating in a similar way usually won't help the situation. Just post a question and see if the individual really mean to be out-of-line; that is usually the first step toward resolving misunderstandings.

Hope this helps,
