This listing is for a garage-kept, numbers-matching, restored (with some “retro” features) 1973 Triumph Bonneville T140V. 1973 was the first year for this model Triumph and the first year for the 750cc engine, the 5-speed transmission, and the front disc brake. Everything works. It starts and runs well; feels strong. As with all Triumphs before 1975, it has right-side gear shift lever and left-side rear brake lever and is kick-start only. This bike has a lot of new parts in stainless steel, so you will never have to worry about rusty wheels, fenders, or brake parts.
