“I had a 67 441 Victor, One of the icons. Currently have a 1950 Gold Star.”

Both look awesome.
Would the 441 be considered a trials bike?

Btw I still have my 67 Triumph tiger...somewhere in the garage.

Well the 441 was like a few other make and models coming out at the time, basically a street bike with a few small changes, like having the exhaust run higher along the side, on/off road tires, shorter rear fender, and slightly taller rear shocks and front forks.

The term everyone used for these “on/off road” models coming out like this was “Scrambler”. But it was a street bike repurposed for off road, heavy, tall street gears, but plenty tractor torque to pull those tall gears.

So it wasn’t really practical for trials riding.
