1971 Triumph Bonneville

T120RVGE25865

Clear

DescriptionSurprisingly clean, lightly ridden. Garaged for most of its time here on Earth. Has been owned for the last 12+ years by my longtime Triumph fanatic father, who rode it twice before passing away last year. Starts and runs beautifully. Shifts nicely through all 5 gears, brakes are well adjusted. Electrical system all appears to work - see YouTube videos for demonstrations. No battery. No dents or scrapes, never restored.

Minor cosmetic rust in the occasional chrome pit and under the seat. Gauges work perfectly, lights all work. Tires are cracked and need replacing. Fuel tank does not leak, but has classic early stage deterioration inside, and should be cleaned out. For the videos, we bypassed the fuel tank with a temporary plastic one, just to demonstrate how well she runs and rides - you'll notice a couple of photos that feature the plastic tank, which I removed for the remaining photos. Seat is in good shape, with no cracking in the vinyl. The footrest rubber is showing its age, and missing from the kickstarter. Cables, hoses and wires all appear to be in good shape. This is not a show bike, and absent a full restoration, will not be. This is a classic bike with very low miles that is straight, clean, and dependable that is great fun to ride and enjoy, and turns heads wherever it goes. Payment$500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction close, remaining payment must be in the form of PayPal, bank cashier's check, or cash before or upon pickup, within 7 days. Do not plan to ride this bike home upon purchase. ShippingBuyer is responsible for vehicle pickup and shipping. I can greet and assist with loading, whether you use a shipping service or come personally. Happy to try to make this as convenient as possible for you, although I am not able to transport the vehicle any distance from its location, about 30 minutes north of Boston. PaperworkThis vehicle does not have a title, as it was last registered in Maine, where titles are not issued for vehicles manufactured prior to 1996. It is owned free and clear from my father's estate, however, and I will be providing a Bill of Sale, with appropriate authentication as Executor of the estate, for the purchase amount upon pickup.On Jul-25-16 at 09:14:15 PDT, seller added the following information: **Paperwork update 7/25Today I received an official Letter of Verification from the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles confirming ownership of this vehicle and that it is title exempt - combined with the bill of sale, these will be all you will need for registration and titling in any U.S. state or to get the vehicle through customs. Also, for clarification, the Bill of Sale will be officially notarized, as I am selling the vehicle as the Executor of the estate, rather than on my own behalf.
