    This video and sound is magnificent. To me there is just no beating the sound of a 3 cylinder four stroke on song.....hair raising! Excellent riding too. Thanks

    My favourite sounding bike of all time .. will never forget as a lad watching Alex George absolutely reving the bag out of one at Caldwell park at a CRMC meeting, when the big bike race still had some serious men, George, Peckett, Davenport... Great days

    Wicked sound from that Trident! My Brother in Law had a Rickman Trident, 3 into 1 and Letterbox fairing. I remember watching the first Transatlantic series at Oulton Park in the 70s first time I'd heard one. Magical sound a pack of them flying around Oulton Park.

    Thrilling all the way! I had the honor to meet Rob at his shop in National City. Got him to autograph my copy of Mick Duckworth's "Triumph and BSA Triples". This video captures the magic, well done sir.

    I’ve had 2 t150’s and 1 t160. Just love them. Best sounding bikes ever built.
    Great video. Brilliant start. Love it. Well done. Very jealous.

    Outstanding.. Nothing beats the sound of those old British triples.. I bought a 73 T150V nearly 30 years ago and still own it.. You gotta love the sound when you change down at high speed.. I used to do it on the way to work in the 90's and set off all the car alarms in the carpark building at work.. I'm subscribed!!

      Ive had my T150 here in South Africa for abput 40 years. Bought it from an englishman who came out to work at Ford assembly plant in Port Elizabeth ehp also haf a Nice Norton Commando for the same price. Sadly i could only afford one and opted for the Trident which has some Rob North bits and sounds awesome.

      About 130 mph maximum but it was slightly under-geared.

    Hello. If may I, I want to know to what RPMs you stretch each gear. More than 5500? Thanks

    • @mv4ago

      8500 rpm. It should do 9500 with bigger carburettors.

      Mine would rev to 10,000 plus (no point going over 9,300) with 33mm carbs and full spec.
