"The Spit's superior to the Hurri you say?!!!" ...

[ZRX61]

BSA motorcycles also did a Spitfire, which was the hottest model of their 650’s range, and Triumph did a customised version of the 750 triple and called it a Hurricane.

Which used the BSA triple engine, not the Trident version..

True and then Triumph then used the Rocket3 engine and put the gear lever on the left hand side and it became the T160 as opposed to the T150.

Had a '75 T160, so did my step dad. Best looking Trident

I was in HS in '76, the groundskeeper had a Trident. He had a poster from NVT on the wall of his shed that had a Trident in the middle & all the other NVT bikes around the edge. You could read the engine # of the Trident on the poster, it was the one parked outside the shed
He used to race it, blew it up as 750, fitted a 860 kit, blew it up again, fitted a 930 kit & started winning races.
He left the school job shortly after that & became the groundskeeper at Goodwood.
