The Triumph Trident and the doppelganger BSA Rocket 3 were technically advanced, high-performance roadsters made by Triumph Engineering and BSA (both companies part of the Birmingham Small Arms Company) from 1968 to 1975, and sold under both the Triumph and BSA marques. Alongside the Honda CB750, and later the Kawasaki triples, it brought a new level of sophistication to street motorcycles, marking the beginning of the superbike era. It was the last major motorcycle developed by Triumph at Meriden, West Midlands, created to meet the demands of the US market. Although BSA experienced serious financial difficulties, 27,480 Rocket 3/Tridents were produced during its seven-year history.

This Very striking T150 has been restored since it came back to the UK in the 1980s, with its very striking colour scheme. We have been informed by the vendor ‘it runs very well and benefits from electronic ignition’. An extensive history file is on hand with the machine. It has been fitted with new tyres (Avon Roadriders). There are two tiny dabs of paint on the tank covering stone chips. A current V5C is on file.
