Rickman Triumph 750cc Classic Racing Motorcycle
Frame no. to be advised
Engine no. to be advised

This motorcycle was originally built by John Judge of RGM Motors in Luton. John was a renowned racer and Triumph engine tuner of his day and had a reputation for building fast and strong motors. The crankcases and gearbox are stamped 'RGM' and the rebuilt T120-based engine (62hp at the rear wheel) is carried in a brand new nickel-plated OIF (oil-in-frame) chassis from Rickman Motorcycles in Stroud, Gloucestershire. The private vendor advises us that this is a very fast and well sorted machine that pulls really strongly, handles sweetly and is ready to ride. The AP Racing brakes are said to be excellent and the five-speed gearbox smooth. A few spares are included: a full set of chain adjusters, a smaller gearbox sprocket, etc, and the machine also comes with a quantity of paperwork including the old CRMC registration card. Specification highlights include Morgo 750cc cylinder barrels and high-compression pistons; gas-flowed cylinder head; lightened and balanced crankshaft; belt drive to Hemmings dry clutch; modified T140 camshafts; Falcon alloy gas shock absorbers (new with frame); Betor front forks and yokes; Rickman hubs; and Akront 18" alloy wheel rims. A full specification listing is available (perusal recommended).
