The second-generation T140 Bonneville is a very appealing bike to own, being typically cheaper than the T120 and benefitting from some desirable upgrades, such as an extra 100cc of displacement, a front disc brake and an additional gear in the transmission. These were Triumph’s way of combatting the onslaught of advances from Japan. However, Triumph was arguably a bigger obstacle to their own success than Honda, Suzuki, et al., as workers at the Meriden factory held a 'sit-in' to protest the announced closure of their plant.
The current owner of this 1978 Triumph T140V has enjoyed it since 2009 when he purchased it as a very original machine with low mileage. He has kept up with maintenance and advises us that it runs and stops very well. He has, in addition, fitted new silencers. It comes with a current V5C and some old MOT certificates and other paperwork.
