Post-Sale Update: After 6 bids on eBay, this Triumph TR5T Trophy Trail sold for $5,400.
The Triumph TR5T Trophy Trail 500 was based on a trials machine designed for off-road use. For just two years (’73-’74), Triumph built the Trophy Trail, also known as the Adventurer, which was successful in competition – particularly the ISDT.
Powered by a 498cc four-stroke twin, it was a single-carb version of the usual Triumph engine with a BSA motocross frame. The only change for the ’74 bike was the color of the fuel tank, which was red. Power was an estimated 35 horsepower, though the racebikes were pushing out more than 50. Want to learn more?
