1972 Triumph T 150 V Trident 750

1972 Triumph T 150 V Trident 750 sits near the top of Triumph's lineup as the brand's three-cylinder flagship, built for riders who wanted more presence than a twin could offer. This is a triple that rewards momentum riding, with a distinctive exhaust note and a spread of power that pulls smoothly through the midrange rather than demanding constant gear-swapping. It's a physical bike to manage at low speeds, but out on open roads it settles into a stable, confident cruising gait that feels purpose-built for covering distance rather than darting through traffic. The V designation marks the switch to a five-speed gearbox, part of the broader effort to keep the Trident competitive as Japanese manufacturers pushed harder into the market. The 1972 model carried over without significant mechanical changes from the prior year — buyers comparing it to a 1971 example should focus on mileage, service history, and condition rather than spec differences. Collectors and long-time British bike owners tend to gravitate toward the Trident 750, often as a step up from smaller Triumph twins, drawn by the triple's mechanical character and its moderate but steady standing in the classic market.
