Background
The TR20 and TS20 were specialist trials and scrambles developments of the T20SS model. Introduced
in 1962 they were described as 'Works Replica' models, as near as could be bought to the machines used by the factory riders.
Both models had: -
- upswept exhaust system.
- crankcase undershield
- short competition seat
- polished alloy mudgards
- no toolbox, prop or centre stands
- heavyweight front forks without top covers
- wide handlebars [braced on the TS20]
- a shortened left footrest bracket carrying the rear footbrake pedal
Neither model had lights but a rear number plate and front competition number plate were available.
Also available were a large range of gearbox and rear wheel sprockets.
The smaller [sports] terrier fuel tank was used and ignition timing was by Energy Transfer.
The total number of TR20 built was; 526 and the TS20
build total was 367.
