Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner designed 500cc Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. Along with the rest of the 650cc model range, the 1963 6T Thunderbird used Triumph’s new unit-construction powerplant and uprated frame and running gear. The new unit construction machines were simpler and easier to produce providing a lighter, more compact and more powerful machine.

This Thunderbird 650, part of a deceased estate, was bought by the enthusiast owner in 1992. A former pilot, he maintained the bike himself and used it sparingly on summer vintage runs and rallies. A good looking bike presented in authentic and standard condition, its still wearing its 'Bikini' bathtub and deeply balanced front mudguard that many owners removed in the day. The engine turns over on the kickstarter but the bike has been stood for a couple of years so will need some recommissioning and comes supplied with a current V5C.
