1975 Triumph T 150 V Trident 750

1975 Triumph T 150 V Trident 750 sits in the middle of Triumph's mid-1970s lineup, a triple-cylinder alternative to the twin-cylinder Bonneville T140 and a step below the later T160. This is a motorcycle built around its five-speed gearbox and disc-brake front end, which by 1975 had replaced the drum brake of earlier Tridents and made the bike noticeably more confident under hard use. The triple engine delivers a distinctive exhaust note and a spread of usable power that rewards steady, high-mileage riding rather than short bursts around town. It's a bike that asks for regular maintenance attention but pays you back with genuine touring capability. The 1975 model carried over without significant mechanical changes from the prior year — buyers comparing it to a 1974 example should focus on mileage, service history, and condition rather than spec differences. Owners tend to be riders with prior British bike experience, often stepping across from a Bonneville or up from a smaller twin, drawn to the triple's engineering rather than raw performance. Collector interest sits at a moderate level, making well-documented, mechanically sound examples worth seeking out over cosmetically restored ones.
