Triumph Bonneville description

After three years and countless dollars, this beautiful custom motorcycle came to fruition.  I purchased the parts and pieces years ago, and after a three year build, It's everything I could have hoped for and more.  The frame is a 1966 Norton Atlas slimline featherbed frame.  The engine is a 1979 Triumph Bonneville T140E 750cc unit motor that has been completely gone through top to bottom.  The front end, Tokico calipers, and wheels are early GSX-R, the first year of inverted forks.  The rear brake caliper and disc is R6 while the rear Brembo master cylinder is Ducati.  The petrol tank, oil tank, and seat pan are aluminum, hand made in England by Unity Equipe.  The front fender is also hand made, all aluminum by a local craftsman.  The rear swing arm is believed to be Dresda.  Most of the fabrication work was performed by Kosman Specialties in CA with no expense spared.  The carburetors and electrical system, including harness is all new.  There is way too much detail to list in this ad.  I have owned many British bikes in my life but this is the easiest to start and the clutch feels butter smooth.  This Triton won first place in the cafe racer class at the Clubman Show in San Jose.  While it was there, it was invited to the prestigious Quail Motorsports Gathering in Monterrey, CA.  If you are serious about purchasing this bike, feel free to ask questions, if not, save us both some time.  It holds a clean CA title and is registered as a 1966 Norton.  The engine number on the title and engine is T140EKA12607.  She starts first or second kick every time.  I am willing to assist in shipping this bike wherever needed.  I am also willing to deliver the bike to you but that will need to be discussed and a price will need to be agreed upon well beforehand.  It's located in San Francisco, CA.  This bike has sat in my living room when not being used and has been very well cared for.

2010 Triumph Speed Triple exhausts tested

Thu, 17 Jun 2010

Over the last month I’ve been busy trying out some of the exhausts available for the Speed Triple. Apart from being very easy to fit, they all claim power gains of around 8bhp and give substantial weight savings. It’s worth noting at this point that Triumph only recommend Arrow cans and discourage the fitting of slip on exhausts especially if they are not mapped to the bike.

Vintage Bike Stash Found in Ohio

Mon, 05 Mar 2012

Brim’s Imports is a vintage motorcycle shop disguised as a used car dealership, and chances are you’ve never heard of the place or its proprietor, Tom Brim. If you’re in the market for a rare vintage motorcycle, however, it may behoove you to give Tom or his brother, Ralph, an old fashion phone call. A website does exist, brimsimport.com, but its for searching the inventory of late model car and truck parts — the cash flow supporting Tom’s motorcycle obsession.
