1962 TRIUMPH TR6SS ` Shipping Free Worldwide ` 11k miles ` 650cc for sale in New Bedford, Massachusetts

$4,660

The bike has a 5 speed gear cluster hidden in the original 4 speed transmission case. The cluster was made for this bike in England and installed here. This enables it to cruise the freeways at about 3000 rpm at 73mph. The 5th speed is an overdrive, while still retaining the original gearing in the first 4 gears. It also has a Norton clutch and a belt drive hidden in the original primary case. This allows the bike to be super smooth with no vibrations, unlike any stock Triumph from that era. It also has no leaks even after a 200 mile ride. Thats why I think its better than when new. I bought a new one in 1960 so I know. The 1962 model was the last year of the seperate engine and transmission. It also was the last year of the double down tube frame. This bike is a TR6, the exact same as a bonneville except the head only has one carb. The bonneville was only faster at top speed which amounted to about 3 mph according to road tests of the day. All the aluminum is highly polished and the seat is done as original except that it is in real leather rather than the stock vinyl
