Triumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomise British motorcycles in the post-war years. Many believe the T120 Bonneville, first seen in late 1958, to be the ultimate version of the classic British vertical twin and is now one of the most sought after bikes of the era.
On offer is a 1965 Triumph T120R, which has been with the current owner for the last 16 years. In ownership, the vendor has always maintained the Triumph to a good standard and has used it every year since it has been with him. Used on many rallies and runs and VMCC meets through the summer months. It comes complete with a current V5C some old MOT certificates and a VMCC Dating Certificate.
