Description
Here is the perfect mix of performance, beauty and raw character- all the reasons why collectors still love the '69 Bonnies. A classic blend of style, speed and sound, this was the bike of choice for cafe racers, rockers, and even Hollywood stars like Steve McQueen.
Registered as a TR6C, this beauty was converted to a Bonnie when
it was restored, then displayed for many years in a motorcycle museum. The current owner purchased it from the museum last year, then recommissioned it, and has been riding it since. It starts easily and runs and stops great, and it is a real head turner.
Subtle extras include shouldered alloy wheels, chromed swingarm, footpegs and rear frame section, as well as oversize exhaust headers.
NOTE: The listing price includes prepping, crating and shipping from Port of Vancouver to your nearest Port. The '69 Bonnie is especially loved because Triumph refined its reliability, improved the electrics slightly, and kept the classic pre
'70 styling-before the oil in frame redesign changed the look and feel.
The 650cc parallel twin could propel it to speeds in excess of 110 mph, making it one of the fastest bikes of its day. Its low weight and crisp acceleration made for nimble handling, perfect for the twisties.
The narrow frame, teardrop tank and loads of chrome made it sleek and instantly recognisable.
