Description
Triumph Bonneville T140V 1978 UK Bike with matching frame and engine numbers. V5 in my name. Registered as a historic vehicle. Collect from London.
If it weren’t for me leaving the UK, I would never want to sell it. This is an amazing bike – I’ve ridden it on adventures around many places and even through Europe. It carries so many wonderful memories for me. I hope someone who takes it over can enjoy it and look after it well. It’s reliable and won’t let you down!
