1974 triumph Bonneville

Offered for your consideration is this terrific 1974 Triumph Bonneville T140V 750cc 5-Speed. Being sold with a clean California title in my name. Frame and Engine Numbers match T140VNJ59561. Recently out of storage after cleaning the Carbs new fluids and a new Battery the bike starts easily and runs great the bike can be seem running in the video below. I have only ridden it ridden it up and down the street from which I can establish it runs very well and goes through the gears does not smoke and does not seem to leak any oil. Mileage is now 9206 which appears to be genuine.The engine is still running points ignition. No broken Fins or damaged cases. All original hardware throughout. Original paint on the tank still looks great although it has a small dent on the upper edge. Inside the Tank is super clean. Electrical system is working and appears all original. A new battery of the sealed type has been fitted. Frame paint for the most part has stood up very well. There is some paint loss on the Cylinder. Overall the chrome shows very nicely as does the Alloy. Wheels are excellent the chrome Rims are bright as is the Alloy Wheel Hubs very clean. Tires are old and will need replacing but I leave that up to the new owner as type of tires are a personal preference. Exhaust pipes are very clean as are the Mufflers which have a nice tone. The bike has both it s Center Stand and Side Stand. Seat upholstery is nice with the original cover and foam which still feels great. Both Smiths gauges are currently working and look fantastic. Not too many 74 Models were produced due to Factory Blockade in 1975 making this a nice rare find. A splendid example of an unrestored original British Motorcycle still under 10 000 miles.
