Bourget PYTHON CHOPPER Motorcycles in Santa Monica

Superbly Restored! 1961 Triumph 650cc Bonneville Frame Number: D11828 Engine Number: T120R D11828 Hurriedly prepared for its debut at the 1958 Earls Court Show (it was too late for inclusion in the 1959 catalogue) Triumph's Bonneville arrived at a time when young motorcycle enthusiasts wanted style as well as substance and had the money to pay for it. The bike was a real looker and the name 'Bonneville', chosen in honour of Johnny Allen's record-breaking achievements with his Triumph-powered streamliner at the eponymous Utah salt flats, was an inspired piece of marketing.
