1961 Triumph Bonneville

The original Triumph Bonneville was a 650 cc parallel twin motorcycle manufactured by Triumph Engineering and later by Norton Villiers Triumph between 1959 and 1974. It was based on the company's Triumph Tiger T110. Initially it was produced with a pre unit construction engine which enabled the bike to comfortably achieve 115 mph without further modification. The steering angle was altered and improved forks were fitted a couple of years later, which, together with the increased stiffness enabled overall performance to match that of the Bonneville's rivals. Later T120 Bonnevilles used a new frame which contained the engine oil instead of using a separate tank; this became known as the oil in frame version. The T120 engine, both in standard configuration and especially when tuned for increased performance, was popular in café racers such as Tribsas (BSA frame) and particularly Tritons (Norton featherbed frame).

This superb 1961 example has covered only 115 miles since full restoration in 2006.

Sold in original blue-silver and having an extensive history file, V5 and current MOT- surely this a classic British vintage bike worthy of full consideration...
