Does anyone remember the “why” by Jose Mourinho to the sports press, back in 2011? Well, he wonders more than one when he runs into a TRIUMPH TRIDES T150, From the mid -1970s, put in its original box … why?
The answer we have already reasoned in many cases similar to this, which we have told you from this same writing. Mainly, the intention by its owners in achieving a succulent economic revenue.
If you do not think I look at this Honda CR500 ”new package already released” that ended up selling for a final figure close to 70,000 euros. And we assure you that it is not the only mount of this type that has broken sales records for the fact of being in a state (New Old Stock). Another clear example of what we are talking about is this 1999 Ducati 996 SPS, which was dispatched yesterday for a price of 56,500 euros, after being auctioned by the specialized web Bring through Trailer.
This Trident T150 Trident has been packaged for half a century
The last of these “brand new” jewels, which we have met thanks to Bike Urius’ companions, is currently for sale at the Facebook Marketplace in the Florida area. More specifically in the facilities of the Bullpen Cycles specialized workshop, based in the population of Edgewater. While the information offered on the motorcycle in any of the published online ads is truly poor, we get an idea of what is inside the original cardboard box, in which this TRIDS T150 was packaged back in 1974.
As explained explicitly, we are facing a “TRIUMPH TRIDES T150 of 1974, new, without brand new, never taken from its box, as shown. Title of property without defects in the name of the concessionaire. Without MSO. Bullpen Cycles, Edgewater, Florida. Is shown by appointment. “ Nothing else. We believe that $ 25,000 They are asked for for it require a little more information for those who are interested.
In any case, focusing on what the published images offer us (it gives us that it is the same uncle who threw the photos to this exclusive KTM 200 Le Jackpiner of 1997), we can only say that this TRIDES T150 seems to have been well protected throughout all this time. It even has the interior plastic with which at the time the motorcycle was covered, just before putting it in the outer cardboard box.
Regarding the model in question, the TRIDS launched in 1969 next to the BSA Rocket 3. In both cases they had a tricylindrical engine of 740 cc associated with a four -speed gearbox. This unit belongs to the second generation of the model, which already equipped a transmission of 5 relationships and mounted front disc brake, included as standard equipment in the model from 1971.
