How flippin much?!!!!

It is a lovely bike, but basically is just a Trident with some fancy clothes on.

Doesn't surprise me for one of those, iirc there was a fairly small run of them and they were only for the States. People pay more for older bikes than that, but that's the "Raleigh Chopper" of the bike world imho.

If I wanted an old Triumph (which I don't) it would have to be a U.S spec '72 peanut tank Bonnie in cream and maroon. Somehow that model just looked right to my eye.

The old Triumph I would go for would probably be the T160 Trident, practically a modern bike with disc brakes and the peanut tank rather than the square tank of the original T150. Actually an original T150 is probably rare now with most of them being converted to either the bonneville tank or copies of the Hurricane.
