Is the music by Malcolm Arnold? Sounds like it. or Arthur Bliss? I have a 73 TR7RV, nice work.

See the post below about the wheels. They're out of production.

That is NOT the real Bonneville.

@ririshow

Seemed pretty real to me last time I rode it. Maybe I'm not real either.

What make are those modern 3-spoke wheels?

[sumpmagazine]

@nor1971ton

Hi, the wheels are from a firm called CMA who, I believe, used to be in the Essex area, possibly near Chelmsford. The wheels are perhaps a copy of the original Dy-Mag wheels - which I think were magnesium. My wheels are aluminium alloy, and are heavier than wire wheels, but require no maintenance.

A fantastic bike...and much underated...i have road both a t120 and a t140 and the t140 is as good if not better than the t120...great video mate !

I know the 79's had mags..but classic triumphs must have spokes

Great vid! It's like a love story that was meant to be! :) Someone near me is selling a 1977 T140 for $1500 USD. I'm praying to God that my tax refund comes in fast enough for me to buy it.

@xairman565

To me the real Bonneville is the T120 preferably made in 1968 although i am prepared to include those made in 1969. Sorry guys but that is the way i see it. I know it is biased...my first bike was a T120...

[xairman565]

@ririshow Whats not real about it? Electric start quicker, but kicker is slicker! Trumpets rock!!

I have an 09 America, bought new and love it. Going to get an older Triumph to rebuild. Thanks for the video, looks real enough for me. The only complaint....skip the music and post another video with the bike sound. Thanks for posting.
