1980 Triumph 744cc TR7V Tiger 750
Frame no. GA22847
Engine no. TR7V GA22847
The final phase of Triumph twin development began in 1972 with the first appearance of the enlarged-to-750cc version of the Bonneville, the increase in bore size necessitating a new crankcase. Other improvements included a ten-stud cylinder head, triplex primary chain, stronger transmission and disc front brake. A five-speed gearbox was standard equipment on the newcomer, which was also offered in single-carburettor configuration as the 'Tiger 750'. Easier to keep in tune than the twin-carb Bonnie, the Tiger gave little, if anything, away in actual, on-the-road performance and was more economical to boot. Produced in smaller numbers than the Bonneville, the Tiger 750 is commensurately rarer today.
This TR7V was previously registered in Bahrain and is offered for restoration. The engine and transmission are seized but the machine nevertheless appears original and complete. There are no documents with this Lot, which is sold strictly as viewed. No reserve.
