Hinckley Hurricane

Just found this whilst surfing. Shame Triumph didn't release one?

Cor!!!!! 

All the looks of the Meriden (or was it Small Heath?) original, with none of the 'idiosyncrasies'.

I've seen a couple of versions, undecided about the back end though I've always thought it'd be possible to make a good version with the Street Triple engine, sort of X-675

I think there are no end of permutations to create a Hurricane 1.1. Personally I would want to see a silver engine a la Thunderbird. Not fussy if it had a hidden monoshock or exposed twin rear shocks. It is the 'body' work that makes the bike imho. Plus, of course, the stacked triple exhausts.

I came across a chap (Google search that went West) who is making replica fibreglass units with embedded alloy tanks

I met Craig Vetter once...    he said he'd spoken to Triumph at the start of the Hinckley line about doing a modern take on the X75, but not interest from them at that time.... which i suppose wasnt a suprise as apart from model names they were trying to distance themselves from the old range and promoting the company as modern motorcycle manufacturers  :icon_wink:  shame they dropped the triple 'classic' range.... Ive had my Thunderbrd Sport for 9 years now, its currently have a bit of a 'refresh' and willl appear soon but with a 3-1...
