For Sale: 1971 Triumph Bonneville in Bennington, Vermont for sale in Bennington, VT
Vehicle Description The seller is offering a rare version of the 1971 Triumph T120 Bonneville, one of 200 built at the end of the year's production with the five-speed transmission that would be standard for 1972.
These bikes had a V stamped into the engine cases and frame, and this can be seen in the photos.
He says he is the third owner of this low-mile bike, describing it as a great example of an in-frame 650-cc Bonneville with original paint.
He explains:
I bought it eight years ago from a collector who had it in his shop in Concord, California, for 15 years.
I only changed minor items, including the plugs, coils, light bulbs, etc.
It has never been apart.
He describes the Triumph as a strong runner for fun suburban and country driving.
Triumph's parallel-twin models got a complete redesign for 1971 that improved performance while retaining the brand's famous cool factor.
Significantly, the new welded frame carried the engine oil.
The forks and conical hubs were new, and the steering head used roller tapered bearings.
One top motorcycle magazine said the new Triumphs had one of the best operating fork assemblies available.
The bikes also debuted a new rear swingarm.
The Bonneville T120 remained the top parallel-twin model, with a dual-carburetor setup that yielded a bit more power than the TR6 Tiger version.
