Thanks 2stroke, it's a blast and an attention getter whenever I pull into a parking lot or gas station. Not many left in original condition.

My younger brother has one of these, a 2006 Triumph Thruxton, that he bought new. I think it was the 1st NEW street bike he's ever bought.

qtla. had 76 bonny. like yours but lh shift, rear disc.
Those came in 75 or 76, I haven ridden a left shift bike for 20 years.
Norton & sportsters changed in 75. would think all the remaining rhs bikes did. your govt protectin us from ourselfs. Norton rhs were also 1 up, 3 down.
Gov. doing what they do, sometimes ( rarely) they get it right. A broke clock is right 2 times a day.
You big tease, I like that trumpet, but you already knew that.lol
Everything is possible, go out and get 1. Be ready to wrench on it, that's the challenge. In the last year I've replaced the carbs ( $300 new from Amal) , the exhaust pipes and connectors ( new from Britain, $150), the charging system ( used, 150 from eBay) ,tires ( new Micellens ,spelling not sure $300) topend gaskets ( new from eBay,$40 ), and the list goes on. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy working on it but at this point, the ride is much more fun!
I thought about buying a new one a few years back and the dealer here went out of business, now the nearest triumph dealer is about five hours away.Everything is possible, go out and get 1.

Its a Grom. There fuel injected 125s. Kinda reminds me of what a modern honda trail would be.
