A good looking and unusual machine to find nowdays Alan. Cotswolds had one for sale recently, maybe the same one?

Wittering gwilly again Hi Alan, Its certainly a lovely engine and frame, Just trying to put my finger on why it doesn't look quite right..

The headlamp is too low if the mudguard must be that height, think the original TR5 had the guard on the front wheel...

6 inches off the rear guard with smaller lamp, and high level exhaust with bash plate... I mean what is that lump of tubing doing slung under the frame on a sudo trials machine..

In the eye of the beholder i suppose.. Wouldn't throw it out of the garage though... gwilly.

Gwilly - Headlamp, front guard, exhaust, etc. in fact everything as it should be and as I remember them. It's a TR5T (Adventurer), not a TR5.......

Hi John, I agree its the TR5T trail and its certainly got something but at the same time it lacks a certain design flair… I'm not sure what but i bet Mr Vetter (X75 Hurricane) would know..

Looks like a pigs ear to me. School boys field bike..

Have tried to add photos so others can see what they think…











cheers gwilly
