Triumph Bonneville description

1972 Triumph Bonneville 650 5 Speed, right side shift, barn fresh condition, perfect for a total restoration or custom bike build.  I would honestly say that it's about 95% complete, it's missing the seat, side covers, and some other odds and ends. What you see is what you get.

This is a MATCHING NUMBERS bike, has a clear Virginia title in my name, due to a typo it is titled as a 1973 but using the VIN you will see that it is a 1972 and the first year of the triumph 5 speed bonneville. 

I picked this up for a street tracker project i had planned, now we have a child on the way so i'm clearing out some extra projects that have been collecting dust.

THIS IS NOT A RUNNING MOTORCYCLE, THIS IS BEING SOLD AS IS AND WILL NEED A TOTAL REBUILD FROM THE GROUND UP.  

Buyer is responsible for shipping, I will make myself available to meet transport company or we can arrange for local pickup.

2013 Triumph Daytona 675 - Factory Kit version

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Factory is the motorcycle world's equivalent of 'legend': it's a word that gets thrown around so much it loses its meaning. However, this Factory Race Kit Daytona 675 justifies the 'factory' tag. It's the kit developed by Triumph for race teams who want a quick step up to the maximum amount of performance a Daytona 675 can offer.

Filling a void with an RD350LC

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

Last winter I managed to fill a void in my life when I stumbled on a very reasonably priced Yamaha RD350LC.  It was a tad scruffy, had the wrong exhausts but most importantly it was blue and white with all numbers matching.  I had the usual euphoria when the deal was done but I underestimated how much pleasure this particular purchase would continue to deliver another eight months down the line. The difference with this old bike is, instead of just taking it for the occasional ride I was talked into doing a full nut and bolt restoration.  Having never taking a bike apart completely before, initially it was quite daunting but I soon found the RD is easy to work on so it turned into a truly satisfying experience.  I’ve had some help from LC enthusiasts with the rebuild, however, the stripping, sourcing and organising was a total labour of love.  And call me sad but it has made me bond with this bike like no other which only adds to the feel good factor.  The bike cost £1800 and I’ve spent around £1000 but I reckon my mint Elsie is now worth a fair bit more.   I fancy rejuvenating a Fizzy  next time but there’s lots of other cheap 70’s and 80’s winter projects  out there so why not have a go yourself?
