TRIUMPH T509 SPEED TRIPLE

1998 MODEL 885cc

3 previous owners

17000 miles

Good condition for age

Well cared for bike I've owned 28. 01. 2012

Runs very well . I took the bike down to the one and only Clive Wood Triumph Specialist in Bognor Regis ( a long way from Leics !) for him to give it a once over and he tweeked a few things and said it was a decent bike that would not let me down . ie no perished tubes on the air/fuel intake system etc. leaned out the fuel tank and filter. checked plugs. hrottle bodies. orqued all important bolts . Clive is the expert on all Hinckley Triumphs and used to race this model for the factory team so he knows them better than Triumph themselves. Then I took it to Hilltop Motorcycles near Mallory park to get it Dyno'd and remapped by the legendary Geoff ( see their website) to get it running as well as it could. 88. 24 bhp at back wheel is very healthy for these ( have printouts)

Has Renthal bars. standard passenger seat and a factory seat hump . newish gold chain. renthal front and rear sprocket (front one tooth down) plus standard. adial front brake master cylinder to cure standard spongy brake issues and Brembo pads. tainless high level Blue Flame can +baffle . urrently sporting a Yoshimura sticker(sad)

Has the very rare taller fairing which actually works to deflect the wind .

Paintwork is not bad and looks but is 16 years old so there are the usual little scratches and marks. a chip on the tank before I bought it has been touched in not brilliantly but it never bothered me .

picture 6 shows it in southern France on the way to Italian Alps in 2012 which was great fun and it never missed a beat.

I will MOT it before end of auction as I haven't used it for a few months . ts SORN because I've bought a Fireblade and a KTM Adventure so I just hav'nt got the time or space for it. /p>

Wheels have been powdercoated gloss black this summer
