Triumph Bonneville description

1961 Triumph 650cc Bonneville Frame Number: D11828 Engine Number: T120R D11828 Although, ostensibly, the 'Bonnie' was little more than a T110 fitted with the splayed-port cylinder head and twin carburettors, there was, of course, more to it than that. As well as the performance-enhancing top end, the Bonneville, together with the rest of Triumph's twins, incorporated a new, stronger crankshaft assembly that development had shown was necessary to cope with the increased power. Works tester Percy Tait had achieved 128mph at MIRA on a development bike, and even though this figure proved beyond the reach of the production version, the Bonnie was at least as fast as the opposition and much better looking, which was all that mattered. Dating from 1961, when the Bonneville in its original, 'pre-unit' form now sported a new-for-’60 duplex loop frame, the matching numbers machine offered was purchased by its current collector/owner as a project bike and restored over several years to as close to a 100 point restoration as you will find. Paint and brightwork are to concours condition as are all finishes and hardware. It was recently thoroughly gone through by a local Triumph and classic bike aficionados, Glory Motorworks, to ensure the bike is not just the show piece presented, but a reliable and fine running machine, ready for any tour or rally. The bike starts easily, idles smoothly and rides as good as it looks. Brakes and suspension match the power and smoothness of the bike. Everything works as it should. This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a rare, ready-to-go concours show bike, which is ready to be ridden on any rally or tour with ease and reliability. |

Recall for 2011 Triumph Tiger 800, 800XC Accessory Center Stands
Mon, 29 Aug 2011Triumph is recalling accessory center stands for the 2011 Tiger 800 and Tiger 800XC because of a defective return spring. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the return springs on the accessory center stand for the Triumph Tiger 800 and 800XC may not always return to its original length, potentially leading to a loose center stand and a fracture in the spring wire. Riders may detect a rattling sound from the loose stand and in the case of a fractured spring, a scraping sound caused by the center stand dragging along the road.
