I had a Honda FT500 Ascot back in the early 80's, 500cc four valve single street bike.



My favorite old bike though was an RD350, it was a cackling shrieking hot rod with a set of JR chambers, looked almost like this one but with a flat bar instead of clipons, with those triangular profile Dunlops it would lean until your elbows dragged after I ground down the footpegs enough.



As for the Triumph I can't quite tell what model it is either, the difference seems to be the generator drive, I don't recall seeing one just like that, might be a custom part.

You might like to check out my err. current.. ride, it's a motor.. bike.
