Triumph Bonneville description

I have a 1965 Triumph Bonneville T120SR, yes SR; which are rare. It has been in the family for 49 years. People say Triumph didn't make an SR but here we are. Again, very rare I'm told. Check the web for T120SR and you will get all kinds of stories. It has been completely stripped to the frame, engine rebuilt, (all the numbers match) and put back together in great running order (see the YouTube link below or go to 43alaskaman on YouTube). I did not have it restored to new condition; this is the way it has looked since my dad bought it in 1967. I grew up with it this way and wanted to keep it like this, with character. The clutch has started slipping, it leaks like a triumph, and it draws attention wherever I ride it. New battery New Tires (I do have the originals) Starts on the first or second kick. The tac doesn't work For more information, see my YouTube page below Here's my YouTube page describing it. https://youtu.be/0jU9sm26z7I

Best of British

Tue, 13 Dec 2011

Enigma 1050 is a new, all-British motorbike based around a Triumph 1050 Speed Triple engine. It's being put together by a small team of people headed by former MCN editor and lifelong fan of British engineering, Jim Lindsay. "The driving force behind the project," says Lindsay, "Is to showcase some of the amazing expertise that exists in the British motorcycle industry." Enigma is being designed as a sharp-handling road bike with all-day comfort as one of the key goals.
