1972 Triumph T120R Bonneville 650 Trike Classic 70s Brit Iron Trike, Rolling Project NO RESERVE - YOU BID, YOU WIN! This is a "bitsa"
rolling trike project, the engine is a '72 Bonneville, the frame is a custom
made rigid with live axle, and the forks, front end is from a
60s BSA. I rescued the bike from
having a totally rusted set of forks, mismatched rear wheels (one donut spare
tire), and parts hung on it with wire and zip-ties. I've re-assembled it
with a “period-correct” (late 60s / early 70s) British front end, seat and
“peanut” tank, and a few period aftermarket bits. It is pretty much a
typical example of a 70s "Brit Iron" trike from the good old
days. ENGINE
& TRANSMISSION –
Crank, cams, clutch, alternator & tranny all rotate. Dual Mikuni carburetors, 4-speed
transmission, duplex primary chain with multi-plate clutch. As far as I
know, the internals are original, and probably need overhaul. Missing clutch
pressure plate & mounting hardware, intermediate timing pinion, and kickstart return springs.
Included but not installed: used piston set, kickstart lever, pushrods and cam followers. CHASSIS
& SUSPENSION – Custom
built tubular steel trike frame with “live” axle (both rear wheels driven
simultaneously), extended telescopic forks (need overhaul), no rear suspension.
Does not appear to have been wrecked at any time. WHEELS
& BRAKES - Front
wheel is in fair shape, as are the brakes. They will work as-is, but are rough
looking. Rear wheels are Lincoln “snowflake” aluminum alloy. Tires definitely
need replacement (with new tubes). Rear brake not configured or installed. BODYWORK
& CYCLE PARTS -
Gas tank is rough. Chrome oil tank is nice; mount is nominal. Seat is a cool
70s throwback “King & Queen”. No fenders included. Lighting is rough, mismatched,
in fair shape. Keg is loose on the bike, I didn't want to weld on it or drill it; I will secure it for shipping. CONTROLS
& RUNNING GEAR - I can
provide several different rise handlebars as the buyer prefers (they are 1”,
but 7/8 are easily adapted with existing OEM Triumph “P” clamps). Rough but
useable chrome steel levers & dual-pull throttle are included (not
pictured). Will need all new cables. Forward controls need fettling. ELECTRICAL - Headlight and taillight are rough
but will work. Alternator, zener diode regulator, and rectifier included (not pictured),
assumed working. No battery, runs on alternator and 2MC capacitor with points
ignition and dual 12 volt coils. Rough but correct basic wiring on the bike (not pictured, but it has been installed). OTHER

WHERE-IS, no

LINE - No fluff,
no hype. I've been selling bikes on e-bay for almost 10 years with total
satisfaction and zero claims. Since I'm starting the bidding low and there is
no reserve, I have no reason to misrepresent anything about the bike. This
is a decent “period” custom project. Ask all the questions you
want, I'll answer them as best I can. Thanx for bidding.

The Steve McQueen Desert Racer
Tue, 24 Mar 2009There are few motorcycle icons within pop culture that have endured as vividly as that of the late, great Steve McQueen. A man who was at one time the highest paid actor in Hollywood, he avoided the limelight in favor of immersing himself within his passion for motorcycles. Never afraid of getting dirty, McQueen was at his happiest flogging a bike around the track with fellow racers or tinkering with the machines himself.
New Delhi Auto Expo 2012 – Motorcycle Manufacturers Draw Battle Lines for World’s Second Largest Market
Mon, 09 Jan 2012In past years, the biennial Auto Expo in India slipped under the radar while the industry was focused more on shows such as EICMA in Italy and Intermot in Germany. But with India’s middle class starting to flex its financial muscle while other markets continue to struggle, the New Delhi show is becoming much more prominent, with major OEMs positioning themselves to claim a piece of the India’s 13 million vehicles-a-year market. We’ve already looked at India-produced Royal Enfield’s new Thunderbird 500 and Hero Moto’s hybrid scooter concept which debuted at the Auto Expo, and today we’ll look at what the major international OEMs presented.
Sulfur Yellow Triumph Daytona 675 Highlights New 2012 Colors
Tue, 15 May 2012Triumph announced a number of new paint schemes for several of its models. While the new options are for the most part merely cosmetic, the lone exception is the new sulfur yellow 2012 Triumph Daytona 675. We’re not quite sure it’s good marketing for a color scheme that reminds you of the smell of rotten eggs, but the sulfur yellow Daytona 675 also sports a number of upgrades.
