BTW you are a good rider. I did bring my Bonneville out of reitrement in 1992 beating the Kawaski 1100 GPZ fuel injected bike twice and the Honda CBR 1000 in a road race. They were both suprised to say the least. It was fun to be out accelerating them from the appex to the next appex. and fun to go through the turns faster. I do admit that by 1992 the GPS 1100 had fierce acceleration on a straight road. The second race he almost beat me but the lighter and better handling Bonneville beat him.

It was the handling of my 1976 T140V Triumph Bonneville that allowed for 10 years of Victories on the streets of Long Island and the 744cc Virtical twin, dual underhead cam's, short pushrods and Chrome Molly Frame that held the oil. Raced every bike for 10 years and she never blew up. Never crashed never lost. She was alway's stock, stock tires! Only Mod's remove mufflers, a drag bar with bar end mirrors, removed the seat padding for a lower center of gravity. I still have her. Rule Brittania.

My Bonneville 1976 T140V Triumph Bonneville never followed any 4 cyl bike on a twisty road. Not even a 1972 Norton, although the Norton did handle better than any other bike I raced. No sir never followed, not in the 10 years that I raced her on Long Island. Victories over all 750, 900, 1000 and 1100's 4 cyl's including a Laverda 750 SFC twin. My stock Bonneville weight was 395lbs., after I eventually removed both mufflers @ 350 lbs. I never had to modify my Triumph to win. I still have her.

Wow...what a stupid reply! Are you for real? Five gears and using three because 1st and 2nd are not options.
Nice job fast1000 with both the video production and riding skills. Ride it like you stole it. Negative comments are clearly from those who truly do not own/ride a Triumph Modern Classic.
is this bonneville only a few years old?
