Triumph Bonneville description

Description
Surprisingly clean, lightly ridden. Garaged for most of its time here on Earth. Has been owned for the last 12+ years by my longtime Triumph fanatic father, who rode it twice before passing away last year. Starts and runs beautifully. Shifts nicely through all 5 gears, brakes are well adjusted. Electrical system all appears to work - see YouTube videos for demonstrations. No battery. No dents or scrapes, never restored.

Condition
The bike spent some time outside early on, as the chrome is dull and pitted from some exposure to the weather. Minor cosmetic rust in the occasional chrome pit and under the seat. Gauges work perfectly, lights all work. Tires are cracked and need replacing. Fuel tank does not leak, but has classic early stage deterioration inside, and should be cleaned out. For the videos, we bypassed the fuel tank with a temporary plastic one, just to demonstrate how well she runs and rides - you'll notice a couple of photos that feature the plastic tank, which I removed for the remaining photos. Seat is in good shape, with no cracking in the vinyl. The footrest rubber is showing its age, and missing from the kickstarter. Cables, hoses and wires all appear to be in good shape. This is not a show bike, and absent a full restoration, will not be. This is a classic bike with very low miles that is straight, clean, and dependable that is great fun to ride and enjoy, and turns heads wherever it goes.

Payment
$500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction close, remaining payment must be in the form of PayPal, bank cashier's check, or cash before or upon pickup, within 7 days. Do not plan to ride this bike home upon purchase.

Shipping
Buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup and shipping. I can greet and assist with loading, whether you use a shipping service or come personally. Happy to try to make this as convenient as possible for you, although I am not able to transport the vehicle any distance from its location, about 30 minutes north of Boston.

Paperwork
This vehicle does not have a title, as it was last registered in Maine, where titles are not issued for vehicles manufactured prior to 1996. It is owned free and clear from my father's estate, however, and I will be providing a Bill of Sale, with appropriate authentication as Executor of the estate, for the purchase amount upon pickup.

Big magnetic bags

Wed, 23 Mar 2011

Gone are the days of tank bags held down with flapping Velcro straps and frayed bungee ropes. This is Triumph’s official expandable 30ltr tank bag. It’s designed specifically to fit the 2011 Speed Triple and attaches by a simple strong integrated magnetic base.

Triumph Releases Third Adventure Bike Teaser Video

Fri, 03 Sep 2010

Triumph has released the third in a series of videos teasing its two upcoming adventure motorcycles, this one describing the bikes’ new chassis. We know from the first two installments that Triumph is developing two models, one focused for on-road riding, the other for off-road, and both models will use a mid-sized long-stroke three-cylinder engine. The third part tells us the two models will use a steel frame and feature an upright riding geometry.

First Look: Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support

Tue, 02 Nov 2010

I'm predominantly a road rider, so I haven't had much to do with neck braces, until now. I'm heading on the launch of the new Triumph Tiger 800 and there will be a session of light off-roading so I thought this would be a chance to try the Alpinestars Bionic Neck Support, mainly to see what it was like for day-to-day use. I hope I don't crash hard enough to test its protection qualities and I don't expect to be clearing any table tops either, but I'm curious to know how I get on with the BNS and whether it feels claustrophobic.
