TRIUMPH T120 / T140 BONNEVILLE

TRIUMPH T120 / T140 BONNEVILLE
WRITTEN BY STEVE WILSON

For several decades Triumph’s ‘twin’ engine design by Edward Turner dictated the direction of the whole motorcycle industry. For many enthusiasts the best twin of all time is the Bonneville. No classic bike has wider appeal, both in the UK and USA, and the continuing appeal of the breed is greatly enhanced by the modern bikes sold under the Bonneville name.
