    Good Points: One of the fastest bikes of its time with a strong production racing record and still quick enough to keep a rider interested on a winding roadBeautiful looking machine and made to lastWith a modern (sequential) electronic ignition, starting and idle control are excellent and fuel consumption approaches 50mpgVery little vibrationFabulous sounding engineParts are plentiful and cheapGood resale value.


    Bad Points: Front fork springs too softMarginally slower than the T150, primarily because of extra weghtPoor headlight needs to be upgraded with a halogen insertNeeds a second disc on the frontAmal carburetors wear rapidly but are fine once resleevedNeeds a higher level of maintenance than modern bikes.


    General comments: The people who buy Triumph Trident T160's are attracted to them because of the way they look, sound and smell and the way they feel when ridden. Also because they are relatively rare, they tend to get noticed more than modern bikes.The T160 was the final form of the Trident as produced by the old factory and although slightly slower and heavier than its predecessors, it was steadier in a fast corner due to its improved frame, finally had an electric starter fitted and was arguably the best looking Trident.A properly maintained example will reliably take you 500 miles or more in a day with no more discomfort than any other 1970's machine and will easily hold its own in high speed highway conditions.One of the better examples of a 1970's classic from a famous factory which is very usable, inexpensive to run and which continues to hold its value.

Good for long runs (apart from the seat)Loads of special parts available for to upgrade engine, brakes etc, active owners club, cheap insurance.
    Typical British engineering, underdeveloped, all made 1/2 cocked, I mean 3 crankcases! 2 chaincases, 2 gear box covers, as well as several other covers. A UJP 4 cylinder engine is simple compared t ...
