Sold my '95 Triumph Sprint 900 "CARCASS" to my friend Tom, who is going to fix it up for his wife, Nancy.
It needed a "sprag clutch" (common issue with that model), and with me working full-time and out of town 5 days per week now, I do not have the time or bandwidth to...drop the engine...split the cases...and repair as required. Tom is a machinist and excellent motorcycle mechanic, so he will revive her again.
Now, I have more room for another bike in the near future! :thumb: :cool:

Sounds like a happy ending to that problem. Good for you.

Thanks, I really had good intentions with the Triumph, but like my wife said:
"You're too busy now...no more project bikes!" :shocked: :rolleyes: - - - which of course, now paves the way for me to buy another bike! :wink:
Maybe a little dual-sport...?? ...maybe another Guzzi, or...??? But whatever I get, next bike will already running / sorted / ready to RIDE! :cool: :thumb: Stay tuned... :wink:

Those bike are great...I really liked mine but the possible sprag problem spooked me so moved it on before I had the problem...

I rode this 1993 Triumph 900 Trident for 2 years when I lived in Aachen, Germany without any issues.
3-cylinder, 100HP, liquid-cooled, 6-speed, smooth and fast, with excellent brakes / handling, (IMHO).

The overall shape of that bike reminds me of my breva. I bet it would be an amazing power improvement!

The Trident has always been my favorite of the 900 Triumphs JJ.
Great riders and reminiscent of the original T150.

This is another nice one - - 1995 Triumph Thunderbird "Sport", aka..."The Bumble Bee" - - much more reliable and practical then the vintage Meriden triples, IMHO.

...and just a data point of what "vintage" 3-cylinder Triumph's were going for at MECUM in Vegas... :cool:

You can't beat a "happy ending"....
Usually a few extra bucks, but well worth it in the main.. :wink: :thumb:
