Triumph Bonneville description

Up for auction is a museum quality 1968 Triumph Bonneville T120R, all original, with 29.5 miles.  This is quite possibly the finest example on the planet of an all original, unrestored, virtually factory fresh 68 Bonnie. It's truly amazing!

If you are a serious collector or just want to own a time capsule representing the pinnacle of British Motorcycle history - you won't find another bike like it. A once in a lifetime opportunity!

It is obvious the bike has been stored in a climate controlled environment since its initial purchase. It maintains all it's originality from date of manufacture with exception of replacing the fuel lines, carburetor cleaning and replacing the engine, primary chaincase and gearbox oils. Starts on first kick and sounds like a brand new 1968 Triumph - as it should.  There are absolutely no visual imperfections, with the only exception of some slight paint peel on the Triumph tank badges.  Paint on tank, frame and side cover is all original and absolutely beautiful. There is not much more to say -  this bike is as close to perfect as possible.

Please look at all the pictures and video closely. This is a serious piece for a serious buyer,  Welcome and recommend the opportunity to speak with any interested party before you bid. Mileage may increase a little as I move the bike around.

Bike is available for local pick up and can be inspected by appointment before auction end.  I will ship domestic and internationally, however the Buyer is responsible for coordinating shipping arrangements and all costs. I can assist by recommending a shipper and help coordinate pick up & load.  I can also deliver within a reasonable distance from my location for $1 per mile fee. I am planning to be at the Triumph National Rally in Oley, PA on June 24th & 25th and can meet there as well.

There is a non-refundable $250 down payment required within 48 hrs of auction end. Balance is due in 7 days payable by bank check or wire transfer.  I can store the bike for a reasonable period of time while you schedule and await pickup.  This is a 48 year old bike, it is sold as is, there is no warranty expressed, written or implied.  

I reserve the right to end the auction early.

I try to describe as accurately as possible and to the best of my knowledge.  If you have any questions  please contact me before bidding!  If you would like to speak by phone, send me your phone number and best time to call. Thanks For Bidding!

Looking after number 1

Fri, 06 Jan 2012

There was a time when a rider’s number indicated his position from the previous season, with the ultimate accolade being the number 1 emblazoned on the front of the champion's bike. The rise of branding in MotoGP and a rider wanting to market themselves, born from Barry Sheene and his retention of no.7, saw riders decide against displaying their finish from the year before. Rossi, who on winning his numerous championships, stuck with his famous #46 in defence of his titles, instead of stamping a great number 1 on his bikes.

Top 10 EICMA Show Bikes You May Have Missed

Mon, 14 Nov 2011

Interesting motorcycles you probably didn't see1 of 11Next Last There’s no cave deep, mountain high or rock heavy enough to have thwarted news of Ducati’s 1199 Panigale superbike launch at the 2012 EICMA show in Milan, Italy. And a few models such as Honda’s NC700S and X, Kawasaki’s Versys 1000 and CRP’s Energica were unveiled without heavy prior fanfare, but gasps of surprise weren’t heard when the wraps were taken off Triumph’s Tiger 1200 Explorer, Husqvarna’s Nuda or MV Augusta’s F3 675 among others, whose existences were revealed months in advance of the show. What we’ve comprised below is our list Top 10 Bikes unveiled at EICMA that didn’t receive top billing but are certainly worthy of your attention.
