X-75 Hurricane
(1972 - 1973)
The Triumph Hurricane was developed by the American motorcycle designer Craig Vetter, based on the BSA Rocket 3 engine.
The prototype was badged as a "BSA" and called the Rocket Three, but when BSA closed it was re-badged as a Triumph.
Between 1972 and 1973 only 1200 Hurricanes were made.
