Help identifying old Triumph Bonneville?
« on: May 05, 2011, 05:22:52 AM »
A buddy of mine back in Boston bought this Bonnie for $400 yesterday. Motor kicks over with no funny noises, tranny seems solid. Lucky effing bastard. That photo is taken where the bike was sitting for the past 7 years or so.

Looks like a '71 or '72 T120, but I'm no Triumph expert. Hoping that someone here can help out with some more specific info...year, model, how original does it look, etc. Wish I had more photos, but this is it. Thanks in advance!

old76, I forwarded it along to my friend who's got the bike. Looks like he should be able to figure out what he's got.

Thanks!
