RESTORATION CYCLE WORKS

This is an opportunity to purchase a very special 1969 Triumph Bonneville T120R, restored by some of the most capable & renown experts in the field.

This bike was restored in 2011 by Baxter Cycle in Iowa, and purchased by us at auction. Randy Baxter's team carried out a superb nut-and-bolt restoration, and brought this exceptional numbers-matching machine back to life. The list of new parts and components is exhaustive. The engine runs perfectly, compression is great, exhaust note is throaty - everything you would want and expect in a '69 Bonneville of this caliber.

We brought the bike to Don Hutchinson Cycle in Wakefield in 2012, where it underwent further restoration. The bike was tuned, and a multitude of fasteners and other miscellaneous parts were swapped out for factory-correct components, including the following...

- Cad-plated unified thread period-correct nuts and bolts throughout, including shock spring caps

- Original Amal chrome levers & choke, including newly plated brackets with correct foundry marks

- NOS double crossover pipe clamps with 8 ultra-rare d-shaped washers

- Twin Clear Hooter "hockey puck" horns

- Dunlop rim locks - not reproductions

- Original "window type" Lucas ammeter

- Correct waterslide decals, John Bull & alloy cable ties

- Made in UK Chrome exhaust & Wassell mufflers

- Proper Gran Turismo grips

We took this restoration one step further. In 1969, there were three paint schemes applied to the Bonneville. Based on the serial numbers of known original examples in the Hutchinson Cycle archives, we were able to definitively determine that this bike left the factory with the single Silver Sheen scallop over Olympic Flame you see in the photos.

We sourced a NOS fuel tank and set of fenders - not reproductions - which were painted by the team at Hutchinson Cycle. Don Hutchinson Cycle is the leading expert on Triumph paint, both in terms of color, placement, and pin striping. Their work is unsurpassed, and the glossy flawless finish on this fine machine is simply stunning.

There are many Triumph restorations out there. There are very, very few of this quality, caliber, correctness, and provenance. If you seek the best of the best - whether you value concours trophies, or just winding through your local back roads - this is your opportunity.

International bidders please contact me prior to bidding. Any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged. $500 deposit due within 48 hours of auction end. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, although we can certainly provide recommendations.

Thanks for looking.

Motorcycle Live and a few of my favourite things for 2013

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

There is lots of shiny new metal on show at Motorcyclelive this year but for me it’s the new Triumph Daytona 675 that steals the show. We’ve been starved of brand new models in the Supersports segment for years but for me the latest Trumpet has made the wait worthwhile. And if its performance matches its looks then I reckon the 2013 bike of the year is a foregone conclusion. The sleek curvy nose contrasts perfectly with the more pointy angular rear end and new side mounted silencer. It is lighter, more powerful and revs harder with much work on on mass centralisation to further improve handling. Few of us have a whole lot of spare cash these days but £8899 for the standard model seems a fair price for such an awesome bike. That said I’d have to consider selling the granny and granddad to find the extra £1700 for the 675R. Available early next year, and surely the perfect all round track day tool, this beauty comes with upgraded suspension, brakes, ABS, a quickshifter and some nice carbon detailing. The white 675R on display at the show looked even better in the flesh than previous images I’d seen so be careful or you might find yourself handing over a deposit. With no money left from the Triumph stand you’ll need your six special numbers to come up for my second favourite show item the AGV Pista GP Project 46. Although road legal this extremely light, full carbon helmet is designed especially for racing with a huge field of vision, extensive ventilation and superb ergonomics. It also comes with earplugs which suggests there may be some compromise in the noise department but it is still an incredible piece of engineering. At £799, this special Pista is also an incredible price but there will only be one hundred available and Raceways Yamaha reckon they are going fast.
