Triumph Bonneville description

I have a 1965 Triumph Bonneville In decent 90% original condition. original 6 volt electrics. everything is working and in decent running condition. The mileage on odometer reads 17,377. and I believe this to be correct. The front fender is incorrect as is the taillight although it still has the lucas 564 lense. Fuel tank needed a good cleaning but is in great solid condition, as did the original 389/203 monobloc carbs. new 6n6 battery is a little small for battery box and has a custom hold down witch is pretty decent, new petcocks, and I put some new fork gaiters on to clean things up. seat should be gray top but was replaced by previous owner and is in great condition and is correct for 67 thru 70 I do believe so could be sold or saved for that other project. No center stand unfortunately but are easily found right here on e-bay. Both spark plug holes have heli-coil or other thread inserts. Don't know who did that job .Tires are good. front K-70 made in great Britain with no dry rot and great tread rear is Kenda mirage g/t 4.25-18. in great shape also. chrome had some light surface rust but cleaned up nice but still shows some pitting, easily kept clean, not perfect. headlight shell is nice but very light pitting shows. looks like it popped a chain once came up through case, check picture. starts right up with no chokes but spits through carbs a bit. runs decent when warm and really cracks on when given the gas. drips a spot of oil the size of a quarter after riding it a couple miles. Really hate to see this one go. Check out the pictures. Still needs some cleaning and sprucing but is a real good start on building that concourse 65. Clean Massachusetts title. Have some receipts for parts going back to 1987 or so from Hutchinson cycle. Ask any questions or For more info call 860-457-2018 Randy. Shipping is sole responsibility of buyer. I will hold bike as long as it is paid for a reasonable amount of time for shipping arrangements, etc. and will help with loading. Payment can be made in cash in person, or bank check this is a 50 year old motorcycle and is sold as is, where is with no warranties whatsoever

Triumph Speed - A City Tool

Thu, 29 Apr 2010

The Triple and I have covered 2500 miles now and most of that has been commuting through London. Last year I was riding Kawasaki’s ZX-6R and the constant gear changing, braking and acceleration was taking its toll. After 5000 miles the Kwak was feeling loose, rough and generally hard to ride smoothly.

MPG or BHP?

Thu, 05 Jan 2012

If you were a child of the seventies, you may remember Craig Vetter’s name from his previous work as a stylist (Triumph Hurricane) or his huge fairing business, Vetter Fairings. Since then, the 69 year-old industrial designer has become obsessed by fuel consumption - or rather highlighting how poor motorcycles are delivering impressive figures. He originally ran a series of fuel challenges in the eighties and now the economy has taken a nose dive, he has resurrected the competition, figuring that the time is now right to highlight these issues again. According to Vetter, three of every four American gallons of petrol is imported – reason enough to devote his time to raising awareness.

Thirty-two years after his death, Steve McQueen still reigns as the coolest movie star to ever ride a motorcycle. One of his preferred brands was Husqvarna (another, seen here, was Triumph) and to the delight of motorcycle enthusiasts and McQueen fans alike, one of his bikes will soon be in the hands of a new owner. This 1970 Husqvarna 400 Cross owned and ridden by Steve McQueen will be up for auction on January 10th, at Bally’s Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, by Bonhams. The motorcycle comes with an exhaustive quantity of documents supporting its provenance and authenticity.
