  1967 TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE T120R
  Frame no: T120R DU60097; Engine no: T120R DU60097
• Notes:
  The 650cc twin-carburettor, twin-cylinder, Triumph Bonneville was one of the fastest production bikes of its time. To maintain this position against increasing competition from Japanese manufacturers, in 1966 Triumph introduced a new crankshaft, along with a new roller main bearing, high performance cams as standard and lots of other revisions all producing more horse power. Recognised the world over as one of the most iconic, indeed coolest, of all motorbikes. Evel Knievel jumped the fountains at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas on one, Steve McQueen raced one, and Clint Eastwood, Ann-Margret and Bob Dylan all rode Bonnevilles, as indeed did Batman! There were three model designations for the Bonneville in 1967, the same as in 1966, with just a few minor changes to the engine and frame: the T120R was the road version with its Smiths magnetic speedometer now showing 150 mph; the T120C was the off-roader; the T120TT was the competition version, only built for racing in the USA, a stripped down factory light-weight high performance special. This matching numbers US delivered 1967 Triumph Bonneville T120R has recently undergone a painstaking restoration at the hands of renowned Triumph marque expert, Bob Boshell. This Bonneville Roadster is highly faithful in every detail and presents beautifully with its, year correct, optional Aubergine and Gold (rather than Aubergine and Alaskan White) painted tank.
