"The Bonneville's biggest plus must be its weight, or rather, the lack of it. At just 424lb with a gallon of fuel, it's a hundredweight lighter than several Oriental machines of similar capacity." – Bike magazine, January 1979.

The final phase of Triumph twin development began in 1972 with the first appearance of the new enlarged-to-750cc version of the Bonneville, the increase in bore size necessitating a new crankcase to accommodate the larger barrel. Other improvements included a new ten-stud cylinder head, triplex primary chain, stronger transmission and a disc front brake. A five-speed gearbox, introduced on the preceding 650 Bonneville, was standard equipment on the 750. Despite the age of the basic design and strong competition from Japanese and European manufacturers, the Bonnie remained for many years the UK's top-selling 750 and was voted Motor Cycle News 'Machine of the Year' in 1979.

This Triumph T140V Bonneville was purchased from the USA in November 1989 and first registered in the UK in February 1992. Offered from the collection of noted collector, the late Ken Senior, the Bonnie retains its factory paintwork and last US registration plate. A total of 8, 192 miles is shown on the odometer. Accompanying paperwork consists of an old US title; the 1989 bill of sale; and old V5/ V5C registration documents.
