1974 Triumph Bonneville 750 T140

The 1974 Triumph Bonneville was built in very low numbers. It was a very odd year in Triumph Bonneville history. Angry workers hearing of the impending shutdown of the Triumph Motorcycles plant at Meriden. shut it down themselves in protest. in October 1973 just as production was being switched from 1973 models to making 1974s. This affected not just Triumph Bonneville production but alsoTriumph TR6. nbsp;TR7. & Triumph Daytona (Tridents were produced at BSA's Small Heath plant. side-by-side with BSA Rocket 3s). Production didn't resume again until 1975. so very few 1974 Triumph Bonneville s were ever produced. This bike is in very good condition. The wire that is attached to the rear brake light needs to be resoldered on the control on handle bar. The rear turn signal is cracked. but I have both new turnsignals to be installed on bike. Bike has new Amals on it. Chrome is in very good condition. hines beautifully. Front fender does not shine as good as rest. looks like someone buffed it with steel wool at one time. Paint in excellent condition. Beautiful bike. does leak a little oil(it is a 40 yr old bike) Previous owner had head redone about 3 years ago. No smoking. uns smooth . hifts good. Bike is for sale locally . o I reserve the right to end auction early.
