- The Triumph T120 TT was a tremendous race-spec motorcycle that was only offered in the United States.
- Produced by ;Triumph;from 1963 through ;1967 for competition use, they were delivered with a powerful high-compression unit construction engine, no lights or battery, and utilized Lucas energy transfer coils for ignition?.
- At the end of the ;model year, Johnson Motors Inc., the West Coast importer of Triumphs in the U. S. at the time, ordered 200 specially made TT examples for the 1968 model year.
- They were to have a few modifications from stock, most importantly was the specification of the headstock, having the competition proven steeper 65-degree rake angle from the 1965 model year.
- However, the 1968 model year T120 TT was cancelled by Triumph, and these 200 special ordered bikes represent the last iteration of the T120 TT models produced.
- These very rare bikes are documented in the book & ;Triumph & ;Motorcycles in America" by Lindsay Brooke, and only recently have some examples come to light.
- From the final run of the Johnson Motors specially ordered bikes, this particular TT Special was converted for road use early on. When discovered, it was original and complete, having never endured the hard life of racing in the California desert.
- The result of a meticulous restoration by marque expert, Jonnie Green, this T120 TT is 100% correct down to its 1-year only head bolt stampings, NOS seat cover, and original NOS tires.

Specs and history
- details above
T120TT: 1964 export dirt track racing model of the T120C for the U. S. East Coast. 'Thruxton' models were factory homologated road racing models, to special order.
The Triumph Bonneville is a standard motorcycle featuring a parallel-twin four-stroke engine and manufactured in three generations over three separate production runs.
The first two generations, by the defunct Triumph Engineering in Meriden, West Midlands, England, were 1959–1983 and 1985–1988.
The third series, by Triumph Motorcycles in Hinckley, Leicestershire, began in 2001 and continues to the present as a completely new design that strongly resembles the original series.
The name Bonneville derives from the famous Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, USA where Triumph and others attempted to break the motorcycle speed records.

Main article: Triumph Bonneville T120
The original Triumph Bonneville was a 650 cc parallel-twin motorcycle manufactured by Triumph Engineering and later by Norton Villiers Triumph between 1959 and 1974. It was based on the company's Triumph Tiger T110 and was fitted with the Tiger's optional twin 1 3/ 16 in Amal monobloc carburettors as standard, along with that model's high-performance inlet camshaft.
- Initially it was produced with a pre-unit construction engine which enabled the bike to achieve 115 mph without further modification, but later in 1963 a unit construction model was introduced which was stiffer and more compact, including additional bracing at the steering head and swing arm.
- The steering angle was altered and improved forks were fitted a couple of years later, which, together with the increased stiffness enabled overall performance to match that of the Bonneville's rivals.[2] Later T120 Bonnevilles used a new frame which contained the engine oil instead of using a separate tank; this became known as the oil in frame version.
- The T120 engine, both in standard configuration and especially when tuned for increased performance, was popular in café racers such as Tribsas (BSA frame) and particularly Tritons (Norton featherbed frame).
