1960 Vintage Triumph Bonneville Drag Bike..Original Dragster (1960)
1960 Vintage Triumph Bonneville Drag Bike A great vintage drag bike but could easily be built into a bike to run at El Mirage or the Bonneville Salt Flats Here is a very cool vintage Triumph Drag Bike built in the 1960's. It is unique in every way. The frame is built of square tubing with a built in oil tank and a hand fabricated aluminum fuel tank. I have NO history on this motorcycle at all. I bought it as a rolling chassis and at the time it had an old original 18" Avon drag slick on it. I replaced the tire with a new M&H Drag Slick. The transmission should be gone through and has a broken clutch adjustment cable lug (I have the broken piece). The engine was built by a builder in Bakersfield, CA and has original T120 cases and an original tachometer drive side cover . It is missing the drive piece for the tachometer that bolts to the inner gear.It was built as follows and has not been run : Original 1960 Bonneville Triumph cases : Nine bolt top end with Bonneville 9 bolt head : Racing valves and springs : High compression 9.5:1 piston set up : One piece crank w/new bearings and re-grind : Polished con rods : High lift race cams : Balanced and lightened crank set up It has a BTH magneto with a fixed timing gear, I know it is hot but don't know the history. Needs to be timed I was told the front end was rebuilt with new tubes and it looks right. Things I know need to be done: Needs carburetors and manifolds I made a plate that fits between the frame rails widen the frame so the rear wheel can be centered. Needs to be welded. The rear brake plate fit a slot in the frame but I would highly advise setting up the brake with a traditional real stay bar. Just need a tab on the frame and a bolt on the brake plate.2013-09-05 08:25:42Moreno Valley, California, US1,1113,000.00 -

Mon, 26 Feb 2024Two new lightweights that deliver vastly different experiences The folks in Hinckley have been busy in recent years bolstering Triumph’s reputation as a two-wheeled powerhouse of tech and performance. In the past six months or so, however, it’s also been releasing new models across its product line and entering highly competitive segments that are new to the British marque in the modern era.

2024 Triumph Scrambler 1200 Review – First Ride
Mon, 22 Jan 2024Minor revisions for the XE with a big step forward in approachability for the X Photos Courtesy of Triumph Motorcycles Triumph is, arguably, the manufacturer who brought scrambler styling back into the limelight nearly 20 years ago now. For many of those years, it was just that, a styling exercise to capitalize on the classic cool that scramblers imbue. It wasn’t until the end of 2018 that Triumph stepped up its scrambler game in a way that truly harkened back to what the desert sleds of yore were used for – scramblin’ off the beaten path.
