    Hi everyone,


    I am selling my beloved Triumph 1050 speed triple
    registered in 09
    John bloor 15th anniversary special edition with all the extras

    Excellent condition

    Turbo’d by jack frost at Holeshot racing (can be seen on website)

    Over 7k spent on the engine (corrillo rods, bespoke forged turbo pistons, heavy duty clutch,intercooler etc,etc)
    Covered less than 2000 miles since build. Bike has only done 10,000 from new.
    Running just under 180bhp at the rear wheel at only 8psi

    Sounds fantastic and has to be ridden to be believed
    Built for reliability. 20150619_113821.jpg
    Only selling to pay for my streetfighter b king to be turbo’d
    can email pictures and more information if interested
    Open to sensible offers

    Hi Dozer's Dad,
    thanks for replying.
    you have probably read this on another thread I wrote but thought I would put this out there anyway.
    I have spent over £7000 on the engine (receipt for £7248 to be precise) now i didn't spend this to make money, in fact I didn't intend selling it at all. i built it for me and to be reliable. My bandit 1200 was turbo'd 6 years ago and has covered over 18,000 miles, been round Europe several times and is still going strong.
    The majority of people think turbo'ing a bike is just for the drag strip and needs re-building all the time. that's why I used jack at holeshot racing. I told him I did not want a dyno queen, I wanted a reliable every day bike that could blow off most other bikes.. now my bandit is 320 bhp at the rear wheel and is an animal. the triumph however is totally rideable by anyone who is used to big sports bikes. once you have experienced the torque of a turbo, there is no going back.
    just thought I would re-iterate.
    cheers,

    Bill
