Description
Fully restored, with electronic ignition, new tires, new carburetor, wiring, chain, piston and rings, and much more. Last ridden Summer 2025, two kick start. A couple pictures show it with wide bars that have since been replaced with stock bars. Stored indoors since. Minor leak (it's British) Being sold to help cover surgery costs for my dog. his was Triumph's Street/Scrambler model, designed to replace the Tiger Cub, and was very similar to the BSA B25 Starfire. It was a last-ditch attempt at keeping the 250cc models relevant but it would only last a couple of years. The engine was a BSA design and indeed the model was built at the Small Heath BSA plant rather than at Meriden. Build quality was shocking and reliability at high revs was low. Though it sold well in the US, the reliability issues inevitably dented Triumph's reputation and the Japanese competition won out. The high level header pipe was on the right side to start with (1968-1969) and switched to the left for 1970. The petrol tank and the side panels were unique to the TR25W being fiberglass for 1968 but back to steel for 1969-1970.
