The Triumph TR6 Trophy earned its name as a competitive off-road
motorcycle. Riders like Bill Postel, Bud Ekins, and John Giles made
this a popular choice for riders by winning the 1956 Big Bear Run
(Open Class), the 1956 International Six Days Trials (750-cc
class), and the 1956 Catalina Grand Prix (Open Class). In 1963 the
Triumph TR6 made its big screen debut as Steve McQueen's ride of
choice in The Great Escape and it has been a collectible motorcycle
ever since.
This TR6 Trophy sports custom paint, fork covers, and a full seat
to make it more of highway rider than an off-road motorcycle but
would be an easy swap back to the classic look. These early TR6
Trophy's were not produced in high numbers and have become very
desirable.
