1966 Triumph T120 Bonneville
A ground-up restoration of a 1966 T120 Bonneville. We took it apart, put it back together properly, and gave it the period-correct paint, chrome, and detailing it should have left the factory with. The 650 twin runs the way these are supposed to — strong off the bottom, smooth through the mid-range. If you want a Bonneville that looks like the day it left Meriden and rides like one that's been gone through, this is it.

Background
1966 is one of the high-water marks for Triumph. By that year the 650 twin had been refined through eight production seasons and the bike was the British performance benchmark. Twin Amal Monoblocs, 4-speed gearbox, right-hand shift, the 360-degree crank that gives the Bonneville its signature note. Steve McQueen rode them around L.A. and Bob Dylan put one on the cover of Highway 61 Revisited — these bikes were the shorthand for fast and slightly dangerous, which is exactly what they were.
