Triumph Hurricane (1972 to 1973)

The Hurricane X-75 was introduced by Triumph Motorcycles in 1972. Designed primarily for the American market, it was equipped with a 744cc inline three engine that delivered around 58hp, coupled to a 5 speed manual transmission. Its groundbreaking styling, created by American designer Craig Vetter, made it one of the first modern power cruisers. There were no multiple versions in mass production: all Hurricanes shared the same mechanical configuration, although some early pre-production examples are known as TRX-75, before adopting the definitive name X-75 Hurricane. The Triumph Hurricane X-75 was produced until 1973.
