1970 Triumph Bonneville T120R

Highlights

  • Tourist Trophy in the classic white and orange colour scheme
  • In excellent condition and with well-documented history
  • New engine that has covered only 600 km
  • Original documents and Italian number plate

The Appeal

The T120R was a very important model for Triumph. Edward Turner's last design and one of his most successful models, the Bonneville is so significant in the company's history that the name has recently been re-used for a new model. This 1970 example is a Tourist Trophy finished in the classic orange and white colour scheme.

Imported from the UK and currently registered in Italy, it has been carefully maintained over the years, as evidenced by its excellent condition and well-documented maintenance history. The bike is fitted with a new engine that has covered only 600 km and has an overhaul valid until February 2026, so it is ready for many enjoyable miles. Please note that the vehicle has a leak from the clutch pump, which will need to be replaced.
