Description: First introduced in 1959, the Bonneville became synonymous with British motorcycling, café racer culture, and classic parallel-twin performance. More than 65 years later, the Bonneville name is still in production, making it one of the longest-lived motorcycle families in history,The 1967 Triumph Bonneville T120 is widely regarded as one of the finest - and most desirable - of all the classic Bonnevilles. It represents the peak of the pre-oil-in-frame, 650cc era before emissions regulations and changing market pressures began to alter the design. Many enthusiasts consider the '67 the 'sweet-spot' because Triumph had solved many of the handling issues found on earlier Bonnevilles and it featured a stiffer frame, revised steering geometry, improved front forks and better roadholding than the early 1960s models,This matching numbers Bonnie was dispatched to Glanfield Lawrence of Bedford on 31/12/1966 and is a 1967 model-year bike finished in Aubergine over Alaskan White and was first registered on the 03/03/1967.,It has been subject to a fabulous restoration by renowned Triumph restorer Hugh Brown of The Bike Shed who is known for paying close attention to factory-correct details and is renowned for his incredible craftsmanship,The bike benefits from over £11,000 of restoration (fully documented) by Hugh, and is a testament to his skill as a craftsman. It was completed in 2015 and has since covered a mere 3,682 miles and remains in stunning condition,Aided by the electronic ignition system, it starts on the first or second kick and quickly settles down to an even idle. It benefits from a belt drive conversion (original chain supplied) along with a conversion to a 12 volt lighting system with LED lights fitted. Since the restoration, all servicing work has been undertaken by Hugh to a high standard,It's accompanied by its current V5C (correctly classed as Historic), a large folder documenting all of the work done by Hugh and every cost involved, a Certificate of Authenticity from Hugh, original Triumph manuals, old MOTs, invoices, and several magazine articles,It's also supplied with a flight case containing a specially prepared, year-specific tool kit and there are some additional spares,An excellent opportunity to purchase a superbly presented example of the legendary 1967 T120 that's running and riding well and ready to be enjoyed,
