Triumph X-75 Hurricane

Yet again, Triumph cracks the list. This was considered to be a factory special motorcycle as the concept was all Craig Vetter’s. The bike was equipped with fiberglass bodywork, a 3-gallon gas tank, lowered gearing and to top it off a triple exhaust system on its right-hand side. It inspired and still continues to inspire bike enthusiasts until this very day. It was sold from 1972 until 1973.
