Triumph TR6R 650cc (1972) with Registration CKJ 4K

Absolutely fantastic bike even though she’s 53 years old now (MOT and Tax exempt) she is still running well, starts easily and pulls like a train. All in all in really very good copndition and a real tribute to this stunning model of bike.

THIS BIKE is a little different, with high compression pistons and “Race” orientated engine, Cam and Valves a head turning stunner, the present Owner has spared no expense in looking after her, with good Service History and has recently been totally overhauled.

A little history;
1971 Triumph announced a considerably revised range of 650cc twins consisting of the TR6R Tiger to effectively replace the single carburettor model, seeking a “street scrambler” style machine. The most noticeable change to the range was the adoption of the Umberslade Hall designed; oil bearing frame fitted with “slimline” internally sprung forks and revised alloy conical hubs, the front being equipped with a twin leading shoe brake. The new frame and its related cycle parts endowed the TR6 models with a more lithe appearance, however Umberslade Hall had not allowed for the extra height of the (comparatively) long stroke Meriden power unit when compared to the BSA A65 forcing the Meriden engineers to redesign the cylinder head to enable the Triumph power plant to fit the P39 frame, however, a five speed version of the T120 became a available as did a 744cc engine for the Tiger, the Meriden engineers had also attended to the P39 frames other major issue, the seat height, successfully reducing it from 34 inches to 31 inches. For the 1973 season a disc brake option became standard as did the five speed gearbox, although the Meriden “sit-in” resulted in very few “1973” season machines leaving the factory, the majority of the production being to the 1972 season specification as offered here.
This example of the single carburettor Tiger 650cc is described as being in excellent condition, imported from the United States, early oil in frame examples like this are hard to find in this condition and are becoming increasingly sought after.
