Read the specs somtime on the TR6 that was sold in England. The non-US version had a lot more power. I had a TR-250A -pretty much the same as a TR6. But, I liked the Sunbeams a lot better. Had several with the British four-bangers, and two reworked by Carol Shelby with the 260 and 289 Ford V-8s - rebadged as Sunbeam Tigers. Ford V-8 engine, Ford top-loader 4 speed trans, Jeep rear axle, and factory installed ladder bars. Pretty neat little cars that steered something awful but went great in a straight line. Got better than 20 MPG too with easy driving.
My Triumph Tiger (bike) 650 didn't even have chokes on the carb. Just had "ticklers." You pushed a button, flooded the carb until gas dripped all over the place, and then started. Sounds crude - and I'm sure EPA would have a fit - but it was a pretty reliable bike.
Also had a Triumph three-cylinder 750 Trident - along with a BSA Rocket III 750 - with the same engine. Both nowhere near as good as the two-cylinder 650s and 750s in regard to reliability.
