1972 Triumph 649cc T120V
Registration no. Unregistered
Frame no. T120VEG55929
Engine no. T120VEG55929

Along with BSA-Triumph's other 650cc twins, the Bonneville was re-launched for 1971 with the new oil-carrying frame. Despite its fine handling qualities, the chassis ran into immediate criticism because of its tall seat height and was revised three times before a lower version was standardised for 1972 along with a thinner seat. One of the final improvements made to the 650 Bonnie prior to its deletion in 1975 was the introduction of a five-speed gearbox, which this example has. It is not known when the machine was acquired, which clearly displays an incorrect reading of 901 miles to the odometer. The front down tubes have matching dents, indicating the possibility of a past collision, and as such, the machine is offered strictly as viewed, requiring restoration. Offered with a 2006 Triumph Owners Club dating letter only, confirming that this 5-speed machine was manufactured on May 5, 1972, and shipped to the Triumph Corporation in Baltimore, USA, on May 11, 1972.
