2016 Triumph 865c Thruxton GT900 'Cobra Custom'

2016 Triumph 865c Thruxton GT900 'Cobra Custom'
Registration no. FJ16 VRW
Frame no. SMTTJ9147GF708932
Engine no. 7710407 (see text)

First registered on 10th March 2016, this stylish Triumph 'custom' was purchased by the late owner on 13th September 2017 from Pidcock Triumph, Long Eaton, Nottinghamshire, at which time the odometer showed 1,351 miles. At that time the motorcycle was described as a 'Triumph Thruxton A2 Cobra Custom' and was acquired in part exchange for a Triumph Model 21. The HPI Report states one previous owner. It should be noted the V5C incorrectly records the engine number as '710407', omitting the first digit.

The most recent MoT expired on 29th March 2020, with the last recorded mileage being 2,801 at the MoT test dated 30th March 2019. The machine is currently SORN'd. It should be noted that the battery is flat and, despite the use of an auxiliary battery, the motorcycle remains unresponsive though the engine does turn over; therefore, the current mileage cannot be confirmed and the machine is sold strictly as viewed.

Accompanying items include:
• A pair of detached silencers, rear shock absorbers, and HT leads
• 2017 Pidcock Triumph invoice covering annual service, new battery, warranty work for a porous throttle body, installation of Arrow exhaust system, and ECU remap
• 2017 purchase invoice
• 2019 MoT certificate (showing 2,801 miles)
• June 2016 service receipt
• Owner's handbook
• Service book (last stamped 08/09/2017 at 1,351 miles)
• Two keys

Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require recommissioning and/or restoration to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's completeness, history, authenticity, originality and mechanical condition prior to bidding.
