Summary
| Description |
Engine: 744cc Top speed:111mph Price new: �1149 "This Triumph Bonneville is one of a special limited edition in celebration of Her Majesty The Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977. When the Bonneville was first released in 1959, Triumph promoted it as: "the Bonneville T120 offers the highest available performance available today from a standard production motorcycle. This is the motorcycle for the really knowledgeable enthusiast who can appreciate and use the power provided." In the 1970s came management changes at the BSA Group and, more significantly, Japanese competition. In 1973, with the involvement of the British government, a new company was formed: Norton Villiers Triumph. Against the wishes of the workforce the company planned to move Triumph production from Meriden to the BSA factory in Birmingham. The Meriden workers staged a sit-in lasting almost two years. The situation was resolved in 1975 when a workers' co-operative was set up to manufature the Bonneville in 750cc form, primarily for the American market." Coventry Transport Museum, UK. 2009 |
