US, Texas, Fort Bend County, KatyKaty, TX at ebay.com
I purchased this from a gentleman who had it for many years and spend thousands on it. This bike is very clean for the age. I purchased it with intent to ride it this summer, but i just found out we're going to be parents so a lot of my projects must be sold. I have the original headpipe and will be included. I also was given the original mufflers as well as some dunstall mufflers, but at the time can't locate them. If i find it by the end of sale i will ship them with the bike. The bike probably needs some fresh gas and a good battery. It ran great when i picked it up, i drained the gas out for storage and it sat in my living room as is. The throttle cable is broke but i will include a new one. Please ask any questions prior to making an offer. I like people to say it looks better in person, but thats not always the case with some. Usually around $500. Thanks for looking and good luck! 13508 Miles
Every attention to detail was made to make sure that this T140 is not only period correct, but also that each piece used is from the proper vintage and from British manufacturers. This is one amazingly powerful and poised T140's. This T140 is one of the nicest we have seen 11685 Miles✔ Electric Engine✔ Chrome rim
The bike looks fantastic, but there is some pitting in some of the chrome and the frame paint has some bubbling in spots (most 79's had this problem from the factory), I did some touch work up here and there, I recently drained the gas (gas tank is clean inside), cleaned the carburetors, changed the oil and installed a new battery, starts one or two kicks runs and idles nicely, clutch and transmission also work great, all electrics work, the bike had new tires and 670 Miles✔ Electric Engine✔ Frame paint

And even if those over 25 can hardly consider the Fabulous Fifties an age of simplicity, whenever the conversation turns to Triumphs the talk inevitably turns nostalgic. But nowadays a new kind of fantasy surrounds the well-known curves of the Bonnie the fantasy of a machine from an earlier, simpler age. But so overwhelming is the flood of techno marvels from Japan that most enthusiasts probably think that even this latest Bonnie is simply the 18475 Miles✔ Belt Transmission

I bought this last fall and never registered it. The only issues that i know of are that the tail light has a slight crack in the plastic lens and the blinkers don't blink. I think it's just a rely. It also has a slight oil leak. It wouldn't be a '70's british motorcycle if it didn't have an oil leak. This is a really nice bike, it's been sitting since the fall so i'm sure it needs a battery. 10477 Miles✔ Tail light
Also good is that the engine turns over with compression, the transmission shifts through all five gears, the carbs slide are free but the cable is tight and will need replaced. The engine cylinder isn't chipped or broken on or around the cooling fins. The seat, fenders, engine cases and covers are all good 10393 Miles✔ 5-speed Gearbox
