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.

MPG or BHP?

Thu, 05 Jan 2012

If you were a child of the seventies, you may remember Craig Vetter’s name from his previous work as a stylist (Triumph Hurricane) or his huge fairing business, Vetter Fairings.  Since then, the 69 year-old industrial designer has become obsessed by fuel consumption - or rather highlighting how poor motorcycles are delivering impressive figures. He originally ran a series of fuel challenges in the eighties and now the economy has taken a nose dive, he has resurrected the competition, figuring that the time is now right to highlight these issues again. According to Vetter, three of every four American gallons of petrol is imported – reason enough to devote his time to raising awareness.

The TT800 From Deus Ex Machina

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

Deus Ex Machina, the surf/moto shop known for creating throwback, one-of-a-kind motorcycles, has released its latest work of art, the TT800. Paying tribute to the highly successful Triumph factory TT machines from the mid-1960s, Deus’ expert builder, Michael Woolaway, created the TT800 for a customer requesting a new, old Triumph. It sources a Kawasaki W650 bored out to 800cc with CR carbs, a custom TT inspired exhaust, custom chromoly racing frame, re-valved Öhlins forks, and a custom gusseted swing arm for more stability. A Beringer six-piston caliper front brake provides stopping power.
