1979 TRIUMPH 750 BONNEVILLE SPECIAL THIS IS A MOSTLY ORIGINAL 1979 TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE 750 SPECIAL. IT WAS PRODUCED BY TRIUMPH FOR ONLY ONE YEAR, AND PROBABLY THE MOST UNIQUE FEATURE WAS THE ALLOY, MAG-STYLE WHEELS.HI RESOLUTION PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE HERE: PHOTOSAS FAR AS I KNOW, THE ONLY NON-ORIGINAL PARTS ARE THE THE REAR TIRE THAT IS RELATIVELY NEW (I BELIEVE THAT THE FRONT IS ORIGINAL); THE BLACK ON THE TANK AND SIDE COVERS WAS REPAINTED, DUE TO FADING, AND JUST RECENTLY THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REBUILT, AND THE LINES REPLACED. THE MUFFLER ON THE BIKE, IN THE PHOTOS, IS NOT ORIGINAL, BUT INCLUDED IN THE PHOTOS, IS THE ORIGINAL MUFFLER, THAT WILL GO WITH THE BIKE WHEN SOLD. THERE IS SOME SURFACE RUST ON THE HEADLIGHT/FORK “EARS” THAT HOLD THE HEADLIGHT, AND A FEW SPOTS ON THE REAR WHEEL, WHERE SOME SMALL AREAS OF CLEAR COAT IS NOT PERFECT, AND A HOLE ON TOP OF THE HEADLIGHT IS TAPED OVER (I’M NOT SURE WHAT WAS THERE). THE BATTERY IS NEW. THE TWO SMALL/LONG SPRINGS THAT HOLD THE FRONT OF THE SIDE COVERS ARE MISSING. IT HAS BEEN STORED IN A CLIMATE-CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS, UNTIL THIS YEAR, WHEN I LOST THAT STORAGE AREA, BUT IT’S STILL KEPT INSIDE. IT RUNS WELL, AND LOOKS VERY GOOD. PRIOR TO IT BEING STORED, IT WAS MY MAIN “OCCASIONAL” RIDER, AND DURING THAT TIME, I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. THE MILEAGE (VERY LOW) IS ORIGINAL. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION TO AN ENTHUSIAST’S COLLECTION, AND/OR USED AS A RIDER. I HAD PLANNED TO KEEP IT IN MINE, HOWEVER THE SALE IS NECESSARY DUE TO A RECENT DIVORCE…UGH! DELIVERY IS POSSIBLE WITHIN ABOUT1500 MILES FROM SOUTHWEST FLORIDA FOR THE COST OF FUEL, AND A FEW NIGHTS IN A MODEST/CHEAP MOTEL… SHIPPING, CRATING, AND DELIVERY IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER. I’M HAPPY TO ASSIST IN COORDINATING SHIPPING AND DELIVERY TO AN AGENT WITHIN ABOUT 100 MILES (TAMPA, PROBABLY), FOR $100. THERE ARE SEVERAL LOW COST CARRIERS IN THE U.S. WHO WILL THE BIKE UP DIRECTLY FROM THE SELLER. $500 PAYMENT MUST BE MADE WITH PAYPAL, UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE PRIOR TO THE END OF THE AUCTION, OR OTHER SECURE FUNDS OR CASH WITHIN 2 DAYS OF SALE, WITH FULL PAYMENT IN CASH ON DELIVERY (IF I DELIVER IT), OR CLEARED, SECURED FUNDS PRIOR TO SHIPPING… AS A USED BIKE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY PROVIDED OR IMPLIED… THE DESCRIPTION IS AS ACCURATE AND COMPLETE AS POSSIBLE, BUT PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU LIKE…
