SUPER RARE ORIGINAL UNRESTORED 1975 RICKMAN CR TRIUMPH T120 WITH ONLY 1600 ORIGINAL MILES
THIS BIKE WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD TO VETTER FAIRING CO. (CRAIG VETTER) IN MARCH OF 1976. CRAIG TOLD A MUTUAL ACQUAINTANCE THE BIKE WAS SOLD WITHOUT THE ENGINE INSTALLED. VETTER FARING CO. WAS A RICKMAN DEALER FOR A FEW YEARS IN THE EARLY 1970’S. IT SEEMS THE BUYER SET IT UP AS A FACTORY RACE BIKE AND USED IT FOR A FEW SESSIONS THEN THE BIKE SAT. THIS BIKE HAS VINTAGE RACING HISTORY AND A MOTORCYCLE CELEBRITY FORMER OWNER THAT MAKES FOR A GREAT STORY WITH ALL YOUR FRIENDS.
THE TRIUMPH T120 ENGINE ( I BELIEVE IT TO BE THE ORIGINAL TO THE BIKE) WAS REBUILT WITH A CHANTLAND BIG BORE KIT. THIS SALE INCLUDES A SECOND TRIUMPH PARTS ENGINE AND OTHER MIS PARTS.
THE BIKE IS BEING SOLD WITH THE ORIGINAL MSO (TITLE) MANUFACTURERS STATEMENT OF ORIGIN SINCE THE BIKE WAS NEVER ACTUALLY TITLED IN ANYONES NAME. AS A LICENSED FLORIDA MOTOR VEHICLE DEALER I CAN RE-ASSIGN THE MSO TO THE NEW OWNER.
I BOUGHT THIS BIKE WITH THE PLAN OF FULLY RESTORING IT BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL STUNNING BEAUTY. BUT WITH OVER 100 BIKES TO CARE FOR AND OVER 40 OTHER ON GOING PROJECTS I JUST WON’T GET TO IT FOR MYSELF. IF THE NEW OWNER WANTS TO CONTRACT WITH MY SHOP WE WOULD CONSIDER TAKING ON THE RESTORATION PROJECT AND MAKING IT A PRIORITY.
I HAVE BEEN RESTORING, RACING, RIDING, FIXING, BUYING, SELLING, AND COLLECTING RARE MOTORCYCLES SINCE GRADUATING FROM “AMI” AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE INSTITUTE DAYTONA BEACH FLORIDA IN 1980. I WAS AWARDED MOTORCYCLE COLLECTOR OF THE YEAR AT THE 2023 BOCA RATON CONCOURS D’ ELEGANCE (THE EAST COAST PEBBLE BEACH) I HAVE HAD JUDGES SAY MY RESTORATIONS LOOK LIKE THEY JUST CAME OUT OF THE FACTORY CRATE 🙂 SO I DO KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT BIKES.
I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL RICKMANS BUT THIS IS THE ONLY CR 120 I HAVE HAD. THE HISTORY OF THIS BIKE IS DEFINITELY NOTE WORTHY. SO DON’T MISS OUT… I ALWAYS MAKE THE JOKE TELL YOU WIFE THIS BIKE WILL ONLY APPRECIATE WITH TIME UNLIKE HER SHOE COLLECTION. THAT IS FOR SURE OF THIS RARE FIND.
I WILL BE LISTING OTHER RARE BIKES AND PROJECTS PLEASE CALL WITH WHAT YOU MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR AND I WILL LIST IT FOR YOU IF I HAVE ONE.
