1978 Triumph Bonneville

T140VJX00796

Clear

For being 36 years old this bike is in exceptional condition. It comes out of Nevada and as you can see in the pictures there is no rust now and never has been. The engine doesn't smoke and only makes the right noises. It leaks drops , not puddles. It comes with a new set of Dunlop Road Master TT100 tires. I just installed a new Excide battery yesterday. The clutch works smoothly and the transmission operates as new. I've had it for five years and was going to do a full restoration on it, but my age has caught up with me and it's not going to happen. The speedometer reads just over 9,000 miles and from the condition of the bike I would say that's pretty accurate, but it's not verifiable. Another neat thing about this bike is that the shifter is on the left and the brake on the right like any other modern bike. That's a real nice safety plus, if you also ride more modern iron. The five speed transmission moves the bike closer to a touring model rather than just a sport bike. It has all the appearances of always being stored inside. Feel free to call me with any questions. I will try my best to give you an accurate, honest answer but keep in mind I've never registered this bike and have not ridden it much. I do not want you disappointed! Ken 801-644-0467. The bike is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
