For more on the Triumph 750 Bonneville and the history of the Triumph motorcycle company, lease read on past the photos…
The Triumph Bonneville T140 is a standard motorcycle with a 750 cc (46 cu in) capacity engine that was designed and built by Triumph Engineering at Meriden near Coventry. The T140 was the second generation in the Bonneville series developed from the earlier 650 cc (40 cu in) T120 Bonneville and was produced by Triumph in a number of versions, ncluding limited editions, rom 1973 until 1983 when the company was declared bankrupt. Licensed production of the T140 Bonneville was continued by Les Harris between 1985 and 1988 at Newton Abbot in Devon, hese machines became known as 'Harris' or 'Devon' Bonnevilles. History: The early 650 cc capacity production T120 Bonneville, ften known as the 'duplex frame' model, as replaced in the early 1970s by the T140 Bonneville, he same basic machine but with a 750 cc engine. Refined from the later 'oil in frame' version of the T120, he first few T140s, esignated T140V, eatured a larger-capacity engine of 724 cc, five-speed gearbox and indicators, ut still retaining drum brakes and kick-start. Shortly after, he engine was further bored out to 744 cc and front disc brakes were fitted (using single discs until 1982). While originally intended for 'export only', he 750 Bonneville twin, aused so much interest among visitors to the 1973 motorcycle shows, hat Triumph decided to put the bike on the home market at the price of 679 uk pounds. In 1975, long with engine modifications, he gearchange lever was moved from right to left to comply with new regulations mandated for the American market and a rear disc brake fitted. Several T140 models followed featuring various modifications and refinements including electric starting from 1980 until production ceased with the closure of the Meriden works in 1983. Although this should have been the end of the Bonneville, s it turned out it was not. Triumph Motorcycles was acquired by businessman John Bloor, ho licensed a company called Racing Spares in Devon, un by Les Harris to manufacture the T140 Bonneville. These continuation bikes are known as the 'Devon Bonnevilles', hich did not reach the market until 1985, nd were not sold in the US. Production ended in 1988. The Bonneville name: The Bonneville name came from the achievements of Texas racer Johnny Allen on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah in the 1950s. The model designation of T140 continued the numbering system started by Edward Turner in 1937 with the Triumph Tiger 70, number that was intended to advertise the machine's top speed in miles per hour. Design Engine: The T140 uses a 360-degree, ir-cooled parallel twin layout. Gear driven camshafts operate a single inlet and exhaust valve through pushrods in each cylinder. Twin Amal carburettors supply the cylinders with fuel/air mixture through short intake manifolds. The crankshaft drives the clutch through a triplex chain operating in an oil bath. Starting is by kick start with later versions having electric start. The engine oil system is of the dry sump type, combined pressure and scavenge oil pump is driven by the inlet camshaft gear, ater versions of the T140 employed additional integral non-return valves to prevent oil draining into the sump. The frame of the T140 serves as the engine oil reservoir. Chassis: The frame of the T140 is manufactured from mild steel tube and uses a 'duplex' layout. Twin rear adjustable shock absorbers provide suspension through a swinging arm, prung and oil-damped front telescopic forks are used. The 19 inch diameter front wheel and 18 inch rear wheel were spoked with optional cast alloy wheels available from 1979 onwards. The under-seat area is occupied by the battery and ignition coils. From 1976, he T140 had hydraulic disc brakes for both the front and rear wheels. Prior to that date, arly versions were equipped with a conical hub rear drum brake. A single leading shoe rear drum brake was specified for the last Bonnevilles proposed by the Meriden factory in 1984 but the factory closed before production. From 1982, win front brake discs were available as an option. Electrical system: The T140 features a standard Lucas 12 volt electrical system, arly models were positive earth with a change to negative earth from 1979 onwards. Zener diodes are used for voltage regulation. Early engines used contact breaker point ignition with electronic ignition becoming standard fitment on all Triumph's 750cc twins from 1979-on.
Early models 1973-1980 Note on country specifications: T140V The initial model of the T140 line was the 'V', hich stood for five-speed transmission which was a Quaife design. Developed from the Bonneville T120 by Brian Jones, he T140V was launched in 1973 in response to a decline in sales of the T120. The introduction of the Japanese four-cylinder Honda CB750 had been noted by the Triumph management board in the late 1960s, he three-cylinder 750 cc BSA Rocket 3/Triumph Trident was developed to directly compete against it. The first model shared many of the T120's cycle parts and largely the same twin-cylinder engine bored out to 724 cc (44.2 cu in), ut this was quickly increased to 744 cc (45.4 cu in). The cylinder head required an extra mounting stud to prevent gasket failure due to the decreased distance between the cylinder bores, he gearbox components were strengthened (compared to the T120) and were further modified when gear selection problems became apparent. A hydraulic disc brake replaced the outdated cable operated drum brake for the front wheel. Problems with vibration meant that sales were slow however, nd production was heavily disrupted by the workers' occupation of the Meriden factory in 1973. Even once this dispute was resolved, he 1974 production T140s suffered from quality control problems, ut these were resolved once the workers' co-operative became established. T140RV: The T140RV was an export version of the T140V with engine modifications to meet the requirements of the US market, nd the gear change lever switched to the left-hand side to comply with 1974 regulations. 1978 Triumph Bonneville specifications: MODEL DESIGNATIONS: 1978 Triumph Bonneville T140V..................... 750cc 1978 Triumph Bonneville T140E.....................
