Triumph Bonneville description

After three years and countless dollars, this beautiful custom motorcycle came to fruition.  I purchased the parts and pieces years ago, and after a three year build, It's everything I could have hoped for and more.  The frame is a 1966 Norton Atlas slimline featherbed frame.  The engine is a 1979 Triumph Bonneville T140E 750cc unit motor that has been completely gone through top to bottom.  The front end, Tokico calipers, and wheels are early GSX-R, the first year of inverted forks.  The rear brake caliper and disc is R6 while the rear Brembo master cylinder is Ducati.  The petrol tank, oil tank, and seat pan are aluminum, hand made in England by Unity Equipe.  The front fender is also hand made, all aluminum by a local craftsman.  The rear swing arm is believed to be Dresda.  Most of the fabrication work was performed by Kosman Specialties in CA with no expense spared.  The carburetors and electrical system, including harness is all new.  There is way too much detail to list in this ad.  I have owned many British bikes in my life but this is the easiest to start and the clutch feels butter smooth.  This Triton won first place in the cafe racer class at the Clubman Show in San Jose.  While it was there, it was invited to the prestigious Quail Motorsports Gathering in Monterrey, CA.  If you are serious about purchasing this bike, feel free to ask questions, if not, save us both some time.  It holds a clean CA title and is registered as a 1966 Norton.  The engine number on the title and engine is T140EKA12607.  She starts first or second kick every time.  I am willing to assist in shipping this bike wherever needed.  I am also willing to deliver the bike to you but that will need to be discussed and a price will need to be agreed upon well beforehand.  It's located in San Francisco, CA.  This bike has sat in my living room when not being used and has been very well cared for.

50th Anniversary Of The Great Escape To Be Celebrated With Electric Motorcycle

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

July 4th marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic Steve McQueen film, “The Great Escape,” and to commemorate the golden anniversary of McQueen’s escape attempt from German forces during WWII, McQueen Motorcycle will unveil a special electric motorcycle, the Xscape. The Xscape is scheduled to be McQueen Motorcycle’s first production motorcycle, with cues to incorporate today’s technology and integrate “the history and design of tradition.” Details are scarce at this point, but considering McQueen rode a Triumph TR6 Trophy in the scene, it would be reasonable to expect similar styling. In fact, looking closely at the photo above will reveal wire wheels, most likely a nod to the vintage Triumph.

Motorcycle.com Adds a New Editor

Mon, 05 Nov 2012

While some moto publications are cutting back and constricting, Motorcycle.com is proud to announce the addition of a new editor to our masthead. MO readers, meet Jon Langston, our new Associate Editor. I knew Langston was a cool cat when I first met him at the Harley-Davidson Blackline unveiling in January 2011.

Zard: a must have for Scrambler fans

Tue, 10 Nov 2009

ZARD EXHAUSTS have unveiled a tasty, white, full-length system to fit the latest Triumph Scrambler, at this year's Milan Motorcycle Show. Prices, spec and availability have yet to be announced but we think the system really brightens up the Scrambler's appearance. It's also a great improvement over the standard Triumph drain-pipe job.
