Used 1981 Triumph T140 Bonneville Used blue

Seller Description

1981 Triumph T140ES however the electric start has been removed and replaced with the standard timing cover, a common mod of the day due to constant sprag clutch bearing failure and occasional destroyed timing gears therefore just an E now. Matching frame and engine numbers and MOT till April 2022 when it will be eligible for historic vehicle status and free tax.

Paint is original and worn as you would expect, other than a few bits and pieces over all condition is good with stainless steel mudguards, wheel rims and spokes, downpipes, handlebars and master cylinder bodies, it does have a small oil drip under engine from what looks like rear clutch adjuster and timing cover gasket, it had a partial engine rebuild at about 21000 miles with crank sludge trap replaced, new shells, bearings, valve guides, valves and rebore, it is now 26000 miles. Much as i would like to keep it i now hardly use it so its time to move it on for someone else to love, enjoy and occasionally swear at as is the norm with old British bikes 40+ years old. Cash on collection.
