big J Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 The Triumph 350 was called a 55 (cubic inches) in America. It's a 3TA that he crashed. mike 61283[/snapback] Wasn't the 351 called the Twenty One cos 21 cu in is 350cc. It's unit construction, so it's not a 3TA,I think that designation stopped with pre-unit. The unit model I think was the T90 if 350cc or T100 if 500cc. So if it was reported as a 55 I'd guess it's a 500cc T100 Tiger. Model year- around 65-67(?) BTW, the later twin carb models (Daytona's) were faster than a Gold Star and raced effectively against the 750cc KR Harleys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The model designation was: 3T = pre unit 350, 5T = preunit 500, 3TA = unit 350, 5TA = unit 500. The T90 was a single cylinder machine, as were the T70 and T80. The T100 designation was taken over for the sports version of the twin. Triumph had a very active publicity department, so the model range numbers tend to make little logical sense........ mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badmotogoozer Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Not that I know anything, but I was under the impression that the T100 was so named as it would do 100 mph out of the box, and the T120 Bonny would do 120 mph... Rj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
