The Triumph X-75 Hurricane was a ‘factory special’ motorcycle designed by fairing specialist Craig Vetter. The X-75 had swooping glassfibre bodywork, a three US-gallon petrol tank, lowered gearing and a distinctive triple exhaust on the right-hand side. The motorcycle is credited with creating a new class of motorcycle, the cruiser.
It was ultimately released as a Triumph model in 1973, the design was seen as too “trendy” by chief designer Bert Hopwood; but after very positive public reaction to the design when it appeared on the front of US magazine Cycle World in September 1970, the UK managers changed their minds.
This particular “X-75 ” has had some performance modifications done in the early 1970’s a “Big D” stroker kit.The seller states new Michelin road race tires, and Boyer electronic ignition.
