What year is it....1972?
-
Its modeled after the iconic 1968 Bonneville and it melts my heart. :rock
-
That is gorgeous. Not as good looking as the old Norton's, but I would be a happy camper with that. I miss the ole thump-thump of my Norton. Does this new Triumph thump?
-
I'm picking it up Saturday I had a 500$ deposit saying HOLD MY BIKE they sell out across the country in a heartbeat. I am probably the first person on the east coast to have a 2010 so early. Wooooooo and with the right pipe setup i'm sure it will THUMP. ;)
-
That is a NEW bike?
I was not aware they made little scooters like that anymore.
PS Something wrong with that pic.... no oil on the ground under the engine. :aok

Sweet !! I am soo jealous :mad: Have a great time with that one !

I honestly didn't know anyone was making bikes that looked like the old honda 550s and 750s.
I have a friend that works on all types of bikes and four wheelers. He has an old triumph in his shop now that belongs to a friend of his. It has won several awards at bike shows... all original too. He keeps a small pan under it as they all leak a little.

I am glad they are keeping the nostalgia alive, and shuffler its a 865cc engine not a scooter lol. :cool:

I like that Triumph and that red Ducati bike. Both are good in their own way but that Triumph reminds me of one of my first bikes that was an old one that my dad bought me when I was 14 and we worked on that bike for DAYS just to get it right. I traded it for an XR200 dirt bike back in 1987...worst mistake I have ever made.
-
Nice bike, but It would be nicer if it said BSA. :devil

Except-t-t-t shifter is on the left side. The old ones were on the right.
-
If memory serves, the NTSB ruled that all bikes imported into the US had to have
"shift on the left" in 1974, and the "always on lights" in 76... A good thing I suppose!!!
But it removed some of the unique character that those bikes had..
I have a couple of old Bultaco and CZ dirtbikes that have "shift on the right", LOL!!!
I have to retrain myself to ride them, feels strange.. CZ's also have reversed shift index!!!
That will REALLY mess with your brain!!!
Nice bike Belial!!! Have fun, be safe!!!

Congrats on the new ride Belial. One of the guys in my squad owns a pretty well respected Ducati, Triumph, and Victory dealership in Cali. Here's the site if you need something for that Triumph. www.socalmotorcycles.com (http://www.socalmotorcycles.com)
I have my eye on a Triumph Daytona 675 if I can get my ZX-14 that's in pieces right now sold. I still may put this one back together though, can't quite decide.

If you like the Daytona take a look at the Street Triple-R 675 its a MEAN lookin streetfighter.

Since 2009 the Bonney has had fuel injection, which from what I've heard from the guys here in town that ride them is a huge plus in fuel economy and performance. I assume the 2010 is FI as well.
Great, GREAT bike Belial, excellent choice.

Yeah, memory gets dim as ya get older.. Sounds right! But damn, I LOVE those old bikes!! This is what I have sitting on the bikestand in the shop right now...
Started life as a 75 Z1.. But as you can see its pretty heavily modified now... Wiseco 1200cc bore kit, blah blah.. 3yrs ago, I piled it ugly at the Portland Internat
ional vintage races.. Victim of that nasty Kawi headshake when ya throw on the front binders at 100 plus.. So its getting a full rebuild, trussed and gusseted around
the steering stem, etc... Looking for a frontend from an early 80s GPz 1100, because they have the fatter forktubes... Haven't been able to find one yet!!!
LOL, I know, good luck huh!!!
