It's nice to see one of my Father's old racing bikes. Great video!

Sounds so freaking awesome love the way BSA and triumph sound with loud pipes

This is the Holy Grail to us Triumph guys. Thanks for sharing.

2:59 killin it with that wheelie angle!!👍🏻

Sweetest Triumph I ever saw. I've been waiting to see this thing run!

It's been a couple of years but this is still one of my favs from your massive collection.

Wow that Triumph is absolutely top notch. Sounds beautiful aswell.

That is one of the sweetest looking and sounding triumphs in a long time, sweeeeeeeet.

What a awesome piece of History you have their sir in your Historical Museum. Thank you for doing a wheelie on it .

Superb Triumph!. This is what a Tyrannosaurus Rex must have sounded like .

That is one sick Triumph. And it sounds like a beast. One in a million that's for sure.

What an awesome piece of history! That sound is what made millions of kids motorheads! LOL

Has a hot rod vibe that I love.crazy to think evil jumped a bike similar to this over the fountain at Caesars palace.lot of intestinal fortitude.such a cool pc.

I have had the "Lemmy Kilmister" stache for months now, and I think I'm gonna get me the "Kaplan America" now. Sweet bike too, got me half chubbed.

You can tell Ken senior is living in the moment with snow on the ground and no gloves, Jacket or crash hat but that Triumph has him smiling.

I love those old school alloy wheels,I like spokes in my bike wheels 😎

oi ken you were like a big kid with that great bike wow now put it back in the warm thanks for showing....

Priceless, wonderful piece of kit. 60's, early 70's Triumph TT trackers are some of prettiest motorcycles ever made.

Beatiful bike, regrett selling my 69 bonneville in 2012. Love the 60`s brit bike.....!!!

Sweet!!! Can’t wait to see them beautys in person once that covid is a thing of the past! God keep us safe with your blessing! Montreal, Qc, 🇨🇦

Beautiful bike . Work of art . Nice wheelie 😂🇺🇸

Rite, DEFINITELY THE FAVORITE OF ALL THE MOTORCYCLE'S YOU HAVE SHOWN ME Captain 👊

Thanks and respect for uploading this monster!! Pure sound. Love at first sight♥️♥️♥️

Super cool bike...you gotta keep that, that is probably unobtainium...so cool!!

Sound like angles singing. I literally caught a virus watching this. No not covid. It's call Triumph flat tracker. Just awesome. Sounds so good I can't get enough of it

that bike is bad ass but growing up flat tracking ill always like them just the look of flat track bikes are cool awesome wheelie lol

Thanks ken for showing this piece of history to us Btw best bike channel out there!

That should be the Triumph standard. That bike is perfect!

That's bike character!!!!! Nice, nice, nice!

That bikes gorgeous

Ive been waiting on mlre vids of this bike...one of the baddest bikes to ever come through the museum i bet

In highschool the Brit bikes were the best. Triumph, BSA, Norton etc.what memories.

Hey folks, this is Carl, your NEMM Roaming Diplomat. What an awesome machine! Craig Vetter has designed the most beautiful bikes ever. This is as beautiful as the rocket 3 powered Vetter Hurricane. Sure, your buddy has a 150 hp Yakahonsu. But it's not a chrome frame, 320 lb, 75 hp rip snortin beast that sounds and looks like this!

YYYEEEESSSS was waiting to hear this bike! What a treat. You have to keep this one, its priceless Kap! 🇺🇸💯

Beautiful bike

Totally awesome

Gilroy made us proud never forgotten Mr. Romero

Sick machine. Must have great history.

With exhaust like this you don't need music. Muscle sound 😎. In my country loud pipes is ilegal 😔, Romania.

Great! Greetings from Roma

I absolutely love this bike ! You make me a little nervous though doin wheel stands down the street

very nice!!👌

Just think how cool it must be to live next door from Ken and crew. I’m jealous.

Seeing someone run out the door excited like that proves just how much of a real enthusiast someone is.

I think the bike clocked 136 at Daytona was a 750 trident powered bike,iirc correctly there were 3 discipline's in cycle racing to be crowned national champion,flat track, TT and road race.Flat track and TT used similar bikes,maybe even the same ones with different set ups,the road race bikes were pretty exotic for their era

Yeah, that was the triple. His was the only one that finished because he kept the revs up while the others grenaded due to detonation.

Beauty! I would give all my bikes for that one!

A thing of absolute beauty!

Sounds really strong very nice.

WOW HOLY COW IS THAT A MASTERPIECE IF I'VE EVER BEEN ONE BADD TO THE BONE KAPLAN AMERICAN JUST BADD ASS BROTHER ...

Nice!

Evel jumped over the fountains on a 1967 Triumph Bonneville T-120 650cc. Evel also used a Laverda 750cc American Eagle for some other early jumps. Great video Ken, thanks for the mention!

awesome street tracker!!

Nice sound! 👍

NOW THATS A MOTORCYCLE! IS RITE KENNY!!!👊✊✊💨🏁

The alu oil tank on it is another rare part. I had one on a TT Bonnie I built that looked like Gene's bike. I've currently got something even closer to it. But mine has a flowed, center-plug head from one of the Japanese gamble racers and Amals specially made for the 'gamble bikes, 750 cylinders, balanced crank, cam, etc. and it's a freaking monster. Sounds even gnarlier than Gene's old bike does here. Mine doesn't look as pretty though. Aldana/Romero story (as well as I can remember it).... Romero built up his half-miler during the off season, fresh Axtell engine, custom paint, looked absolutely tits. Romero and Aldana are gazing at it in admiration and Gene says: "It's almost too perfect to race." Aldana:"Yeah, it's too perfect," picks up a ball peen hammer, klonks it onto to the tank, chipping the paint and says, "Now it's ready to go racing."

Its like Danzig and Evil had a son, Caplan America your Fuckin awesome buddy!!!!!!! Keep being you man.

Tommy Hillclimber and Scramble enduro eventer.

Fucking awesome bike I never knew the TT bikes ran stock frames a piece of motorcycle history.I'm in the UK and have a Wood Rotax and a Knight Honda i also owned a Champion Yamaha 750 the frame ended up with a guy in France.

What a rush .. from Romaaaaaaa

You won't see 2 of these at bike nite if you pick this treasure up💓🌟🏆🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I can't see how a bike like that would go for anything less than 6 figures. 18 made, 3 different style suspension set ups with a racing style gear box. This may be my favorite bike you have next to your Kap AM CR500. I'd make everyone in the family get a second job before this one went up for sale lol Seriously, when will you ever get another chance at one of these? The bike would be in Jesus's collection.

It isn’t Route. It’s Routt. Sonny Routt from Maryland. Take care.
