Hello.

I have my TR1 for sale. Based near Salisbury in the UK.

I purchased this TR1 in June of this year with the intentions of a long term restoration and to build it to my own specifications.

The previous owner had travelled around Europe for ten years and the bike shows sun fading on the tank and side panels. Also rubber seals on the instruments have perished through exposure to sunlight. The previous owner had also replaced the starter motor and introduced a problem with the engine. I have stripped the starter motor and gear assembly. All is in working order but the engine is nosiy.

I have started the restoration by addressing any problems I found on the bike first. The fuel taps have had new gaskest fitted. The carberateurs have been stripped and cleaned. New gaskets and jets fitted. I have also had both diapragms replaced.

But I am trying to get to the bottom of the engine noise and I realise I am getting close the what I have the ability to do. Then a TR1 appeared on ebay with only 9k miles on the clock. I have purchsed that TR1 so now have two bikes. I need to sell my original.
