1962 Triumph Thunderbird

T120

***NO RESERVE AUCTION NOW*** Selling my beautiful "custom" 1962 TRIUMPH T120 pre unit. This is a bike I never thought I would sell but it's time to move on. Here is a quick video: http://www.youtube.com/user/ORTHMANCUSTOMS?feature=mhum . This bike was completely restored 3 years ago. Only ridden 1100 miles since. Bike is SUPER clean and you can eat off of it. Has Smiths (chronometeric) clocks that have been reworked and work beautifully.

This motorcycle runs and rides EXCELLENT!!! No clunky shifting, NO WIRING ISSUES, NO SMOKE, NO NOISE... NO ISSUES. Bike has VERY little ride time on it since complete restoration. Lights burn BRIGHT, horn beeps and tires are EXCELLENT. Bike has a clear title as a 1962 Triumph T120. This is a fantastic bike that doesn't come along every day. Serious buyers only please. This is an old British motorcycle but it has been rebuilt for more POWERFUL riding conditions. In other words... she will scoot. There are a few blemishes in the paint. A stain on the tank and a couple of wear marks from a previous cable on the front fender. That is it. Ask anything, anytime. YOU CAN'T FIND, BUY AND RESTORE A MOTORCYCLE OF THIS CALIBER FOR NEAR THIS PRICE. Will assist in shipping the bike anywhere. The carrier service I use (and trust) offers enclosed, insured shipping of classic bikes for $550-$650 anywhere in the US door to door. Cheers.
