1973 Triumph T 150 V Trident 750

1973 Triumph T 150 V Trident 750 sits in an odd spot in Triumph's lineup: a three-cylinder machine built for covering real distance, slotted below the twin-cylinder Bonneville in prestige but ahead of the single-carb TR7V Tiger in sophistication. The triple engine configuration is the point here — it delivers a smoother, more turbine-like pull than Triumph's twins, with a distinctive exhaust note that owners tend to describe with more enthusiasm than precision. This is a bike built for sustained highway riding and long days in the saddle, not quarter-mile bragging rights, and the five-speed gearbox (a running change introduced a few years prior) makes triple-digit cruising far less frantic than it was on early Tridents. The 1973 model carried over without significant mechanical changes from the prior year — buyers comparing it to a 1972 example should focus on mileage, service history, and condition rather than spec differences. Collector interest sits at a moderate level, drawing riders who already own a Bonneville or Japanese-brand 750 and want the less common three-cylinder alternative, plus mechanically inclined owners comfortable sourcing parts for a less mainstream classic.
