You are looking at a 1977 Triumph T140 Bonneville. "The Triumph Bonneville T140 has a 750 cc engine that was designed and built by Triumph. The T140 was the second generation in the Bonneville series developed from the earlier 650 cc.The Bonneville name came from the achievements of Texas racer Johnny Allen on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah in the 1950s. The model designation of T140 continued the numbering system started by Edward Turner in 1937 with the Triumph Tiger 70, a number that was intended to advertise the machine's top speed in miles per hour. The initial model of the T140 line was the 'V', which stood for five-speed transmission. Developed from the Bonneville T120 by Brian Jones, the T140V was launched in 1973 in response to a decline in sales of the T120. The first model shared many of the T120's cycle parts and largely the same twin-cylinder engine bored out to 724 cc, but this was quickly increased to 744 cc. The cylinder head required an extra mounting stud to prevent gasket failure due to the decreased distance between the cylinder bores, the gearbox components were strengthened (compared to the T120) and were further modified when gear selection problems became apparent. A hydraulic disc brake replaced the outdated cable operated drum brake for the front wheel." This T140 is a perfect example of your next restoration project. It does have a numbers matching engine and frame. Hasn't ran since the begining of last year. The points were switch over to a electronic igintion. The bike does kick over and seems to have great compression. She does go in and out of gear properly. The tank looks to be clean and it is sealed on the inside. The bike does have a Fl title.
