Triumph Bonneville description

Vintage 1968 Triumph Bonneville T120R 650cc - Numbers Matching Project Rebuilt

Bike is in overall good shape for its age.  This was a project that was abandoned at some point.  I believe the previous owner got the frame powder coated and rebuilt the engine.  Looking through the spark plug hole, I saw that the pistons are .010 over, and are brand new.  Valve guides are new as well.  All of which leads me to believe that this motor is in fact rebuilt.  It may need a gasket kit to be safe.  To make this bike a roller, I installed new fork tubes, seal holders and seals, and converted the neck bearings to the tapered roller style.  Rear shocks are vintage Koni pieces.  Tank and fender match, and tank is very clean inside.  I bought this to build into a scrambler, but it's now taking up space in the garage.  I have a clean, notarized AZ title from the previous owner.

Buyer to pay $500 NON REFUNDABLE deposit at the end of the auction with balance due within 7 days unless prior arrangements are made.

Buyer to arrange shipping or pick up from Tucson, AZ.  I can deliver within a reasonable distance for a fee.  

PLEASE NOTE:  I WILL BE OUT OF TOWN WHEN THIS AUCTION ENDS. I WILL BE IN THE WEST VIRGINIA AREA,  IF YOU ARE A SERIOUS BUYER I MAY BE ABLE TO LOAD IN MY TRUCK AND TAKE IT WITH ME FOR DELIVERY.

Triumph Street Triple Used to Test Rocket Components – Video

Fri, 04 May 2012

California-based aerospace company XCOR is using a Triumph Street Triple to test rocket components for a suborbital spacecraft. Of course, what immediately comes to mind is a giant rocket strapped on to the Triumph, but the truth is much less dramatic, yet still fascinating. XCOR is using the Street Triple for endurance testing of bearings components for the rocket propellant piston pump of the Lynx suborbital spacecraft.

How well does a Triumph Tiger 800 crash?

Mon, 08 Nov 2010

I've just come back to the hotel after our first day riding the Tiger 800 with the other Brit journos. One of the journos (who shall remain nameless, but alas, it wasn't me) crashed at low speed. Pictured here is his bike.
