1973 Triumph Tiger TR6. A well looked after original example with modified electronics make this an easy bike to start and ride. As expected from a Triumph she handles beautifully! The '73 Tiger TR6 was a landmark model for Triumph. The beefy 650cc twin powerhouse appealed to riders everywhere with its energetic power delivery making it particularly suitable for two-up motorcycling. A name that dates back to 1902, when the first Triumph motorcycle emerged from a small factory in Meriden, near Coventry, England, a short distance away from its present location in Hinckley. The TR6 is the single carburettor version of the legendary Bonneville, so named after the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah where many land speed records were set. On the 25th of September 1955 a speed of 194mph was recorded by a streamlined but normally-aspirated Bonneville! This was the highest speed ever recorded by a motorcycle at the time. Many great Triumph models have been built since its 1902 inception. Bikes such as the Bonneville, Thunderbird, and the Tiger featured above, which dominated the motorcycle world during the British industry’s golden age in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70's. Evoking the spirit of the era, these machines starred opposite the likes of Steve McQueen, Marlon Brando and Clint Eastwood. Today Classic Bike Provence is delighted to be able to offer to its customers an original 1973 Tiger TR6 650cc.
