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. |

2022 Triumph Speed Twin Review
Mon, 16 Aug 2021A little more of everything, along with Euro 5 It was just about a year ago when we sampled Triumph’s reborn Speed Twin for the first time on home soil, in a two-bike standoff against a way-more-expensive optioned-out BMW R nineT. At the time, we were slightly underwhelmed and had to rate the new Speed Twin second, by a hair. 2022 Triumph Speed Twin Editor Score: 89.0% Engine 18.5/20 Suspension/Handling 13.0/15 Transmission/Clutch 9.0/10 Brakes 9.0/10 Instruments/Controls 3.5/5 Ergonomics/Comfort 9.5/10 Appearance/Quality 9.5/10 Desirability 8.5/10 Value 8.5/10 Overall Score 89/100 It was mostly a suspension thing; the Triumph’s old-timey 41mm cartridge fork and twin rear shocks couldn’t compete with the R nineT’s plush, adjustable setup.
