In 1970 I bought a new Bonneville in London,. Took the bike thru Europe and Italy on a road tour. What a bike, and memory.

Absolutely stunningly beautiful. The Bonneville is the bike I rode in 1964 to 100 mph+ on the road from Brentford to London Airport (England) on a Sunday morning to establish my place in the informally recognized 'Ton-Up' club. Very beautiful machines......I was terrified and was nearly blown off as I was slowing down to turn left off the motorway at the airport to come home. I had ridden so long at 100 that I did not realize I was still doing 60 mph when I made the hand signal.

Triumph should have made their new twins look like this. Absolutely beautiful.

Looking at any classic late 60's Bonneville is a mental stimulation. Just having one on display, anywhere in your home, for daily viewing is a daily mental rush......that I get.

Say what you will about leaking oil and Lucas electrics, those 60's upright British twins were gorgeous! A beautiful example!

My dad gave me his 68 120r in 75 when i graduated school, still have it & will never sell it. Bone stock other than pea shooters & rejeted carbs. It's a bit finicky these days since it doesn't get rode as much, leaks a bit of oil, but i don't mind. I have an electra glide i ride most of the time, but nothing compares to the sounds & feelings I get from riding the ole bonne, it never gets old no matter how much i have to tinker with it. Surprisingly I've never had an issue with the wiring as most complain about.

A work of art. Back in the 70's my buddy and I went from N.J. to California and back. I rode the 68 Triumph. Rejetted in Wyoming due to the altitude. Went thru Reno at night (what a trip) and woke up on a back trail in the Redwoods. A trip I'll never forget. Loved the bike.

Greetings from Australia. David that is an absolute credit to you. I think that if I had the choice of buying a '68 Bonny in the same condition as yours, and the latest 2019 model, I'd go for the "68. They look fantastic and are dead simple to maintain and so easy to work on. Back in 1963, I owned a 1959 Bonneville, and rode that girl for over 40,000 miles without any problems whatsoever. Secret is to not thrash them and change the oil regularly. Thanks for sharing, cheers mate...

Best looking street bike of all time.

What a beautiful machine! A real credit to the restorer. I’m currently doing a T140 and have nickel plated all fasteners which really improves the look.

Awesome! Put the bike in your living room - it's a work of art.

Simplesmente linda a motocicleta. Parabéns ao proprietário, bons vento!!!!

I had one for 7 years. bought it in CA while in the military. best looking bike ever made.

THE single most beautiful motorcycle ever designed in my opinion. I liked most British bikes way back when I was young especially Bonnevilles, later Tridents and the Hurricane.

Beautiful bike, brings back a whole lot of memories.

Absolutely beautiful bike, really well done restoration. Thanks for preserving such a great bike.

The perfect and iconic Triumph. The design features for that year are exactly what I love and YES I also would have it in the living room to admire all day! I have had many Triumphs over many years, from the Cub, then 1959 T110, several T140's, tried the new Triumphs and discovered it was just not the same, so now back on a T140V 1973, just as the 650 T120's were switching over to the 750 models, still has the r/h gear change. Lovely to ride and of course most of the bike is still the same as the T120, added cc and front disc brake etc. Good luck to all classic Triumph owners, bit icy today, glorious sunshine, in Hemswell, Lincolnshire, Liam

Without question, the best looking Triumph Bonnie I have ever seen in my 60 yrs. Thankyou for sharing her with us. This thing sounds wonderful, I really liked how it vibrated backwards so quickly when you revved it up a bit.

Wow. I'm not sure this bike looked this nice in 68! Beautiful bike!

What a stunning machine, you should be proud mate.

Such a treasure, a real beautiful motorcycle.

No modern bikes looks anywhere near as good as these Triumphs. Way beautiful, Edward Turner had an eye for what looks great.

I had a later 750 Bonneville. It was by far the best handling bike I ever owned, plus, face it, it's one sexy looking bike.

I had a 1970 Tiger TR6 650 single Amal carb. My older brother had Bonnies as well and still rides them. Though , im a HD rider, i feel a built in love of these older Triumphs. They have always seemed as important as the Harleys i've owned but, from across the pond. Some real history as well as craftsmanship here. Thanks form sharing.

Beautiful Sir.......love the Bonnie .

Stunning looking bike, better than when it left the Meriden factory.

What a beauty and what a lucky man you are!

I'd love to have that sitting in my living room I probably ride it on Sunday only

To my eyes, one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever produced; and that one is stunning.

watch the bike walk backwards on the center stand- got to love it

Nice. That's what I like to see in a custom. Respect for the original but with a personal touch. I swear if I see another beautiful old bike butchered to make a 'bobber' I'll cry.

Awesome, looks brand new. Stunning paint and pretty beautiful color, amazing bike, congrats.

Very nice I had 1968 now I own a 1970 T-120RT a daily rider in nice condition but not a show piece like yours is 10.10

Stunning ! My Norton 750Atlas used to move like that on the stand, brings back memories . That is one of the 'Tightest' triumph engines I have heard-- Ever . I had the later 73 Daytona and a 79 T140 amazing bikes , while an earlier Speed-Twin was possibly the worst bike I ever owned !

Chromed head bolts, polished intake stacks, even the wiring to the selenium rectifier under the seat was neatened up. Chromed cable/wire handle bar clamps. Chromed or polished rear brake arm - brother, you built a beauty.

Triumph should start producing exact replcas of the 1970 Bonnie - I'd buy one for a start

A motorcycle? No! It's a most beautiful piece of rolling art. Absolutely spectacular.

The problem with restoring a classic vehicle is they are so beautiful you don't want to ride them because we all know how filthy and dirty they get on the road, ding dented scratched. It's a catch 22. You've got one beautiful bike there for sure, and those little Chrome touches make a huge difference

Absolutely gorgeous. Another beauty is the 1969,650cc Bonneville. I’d ride any of these over a modern bike

I am a pretty firm believer in the philosophy :"It's your bike, build and detail it as you see fit and use it how and when you see fit." I hear the same about high end muscle car restorations or modifications. The inspection chalk marks and dog dish hub caps are cool but as someone in high school during the last few years of the potent factory hot rods the reality is why a smog pump for a Boss 429 is rare as hen's teeth because 90% of new muscle car buyers knew the date the warranty would expire and they fought the temptation (not always winning) to install the hi rise intake they had in the garage and shit can the smog pump if so equipped. I wish I had the money to get something like the 1964 Polara dad bought new. Or a '68 RoadRunner and do it up gasser style and super clean and detailed. Including period kustom kandy fade paint, chrome straight axle (aftermarket, not out of a truck). Dual quads on a tunnel ram etc. THAT was hot rodding for a guy who couldn't leave his car alone but identified with Super Bee's, Malibu SS, RoadRunner rather than traditional stuff like 32 Ford. Be a blast to do that now and get it so nice you could do the show car circuit before subjecting it to regular street/strip duty. OMG! I bet I would catch a lot of grief over that. Even though that was reality for a lot of gearheads caught up in the drag racing scene of the mid to late 60's. Nobody aside from maybe the oldest (age wise) kept everything factory stock after the warranty expired. Hot Rod magazine habitually road and strip tested all these cars and many times the favorites became project cars but even if not they went down the 1320 bone stock and then in went the advance curve, headers and a carb re jet. Next a hot cam and dual quads on a.... Well, you get the idea. Recording each change and the performance those changes netted. Only if dad co signed for the loan did most guys not tinker with their car. So much so that the last line of the more in depth magazine test read something like "The Crane # %*&#! solid cam gave us another 500 rpm's and with a set of proper drag skin's and a 4.88 gear set up in that posi unit I believe we'd improve that 13.40 et to the point we'd be dipping into the high 12's and that's a lot of potential for a 383 Magnum RoadRunner that lists for MSRP $3,129". "Now if George Hurst reads this and would like to send us a slam bang short throw stick to replace that Gawd awful Inland shifter we'd see just how deep into the 12's we could go with a sweet little bomb for those who want more for le$$ and are willing to work for it."

The world's best looking motorcycle, 1968 was the pinnacle of the Bonneville development for most people. This is a stunning example.

I bought a left over '73 500 Trophy Trail in 1974. A great looking enduro with enough engine to ride on the freeway.

Beautiful bike. That was my heart throb back then.

Love it... I ride a 2018 T100. The Bonneville is truly an Icon in the world of motorcycles...

She’s absolutely gorgeous, a stunner

Fantastic looking bike beautiful colours triumph designer certainly nailed it on these bikes 👍

VERY NICE BONNIE!👍👍👌👌my buddy’s dad had one. He used to let us sit on it when we were kids.

It has a primary cover from a 67 or earlier. You also NEED to fit the cross brace between the two muffler clamps. Without it, the pipes work the exhaust stubs in the head and can wipe out the threads. Beautiful bike. I have a 68 that I had to rebuild after a retired State Trooper turned in front of me. I redid it as a Tiger, with a Routt 750 kit, 32 mm Amal, Jomo 15 cams, light valve train, 79 five speed gear set, alloy rims and SS spokes/nipples. Raised the gearing with a 20T : 43T rear drive. I now have a very stock 69 Bonneville, too. And a bunch of others. Some of the finest bikes ever made and mostly very easy to work on and a blast to ride.

What a gorgeous girl! Doctor said I need just one like this.

The Ideal Motorcycle Perfection

Beautiful bike man. I had a '68 Triumph , it was a great bike. I rode it every day. I wish I still have it. Thanks.

Before I die I will own another '68 - '69 Bonnie. Absolutely luv 'em :)

Wow,,,,, that is such a beautiful Trumpy.

fantastic ,,, what a sexy bike 40 years ago my now husband had a 65 bonnie same color and everything when i first saw your bike my heart skipped a beat ..thanks made my day,, other than the writing on the tank and side covers the bikes were close to identical felt like i fell into a time warp we been married 39 years now lol

I had a 78 Bonneville.....royal blue.

I had a 59 Thunderbird 650, loved the sound of it and was quite a bit of torque.

I had a 70 bonne in 1971......noticed the chrome extended ticklers first thing....very nicely done in chrome.

stunning classic. simply beautiful as a job very well done

A thing of beauty’s, stunning bike and something to be proud of.

I bought one new in 1968 and loved it until the CB750 came out. I have a small collections of CB750's and looking for a Bonneville to add the icing to my collection. This Bonneville is the epitome of the British bikes to me. It's motorcycle porn. Just to hear it idle......

I had a '68 Bonnevville like this, same color. It drove so much better when the factory fork was replaced with a Harley fork!

I have an 1982 T140. Your bike is so beautiful. Really, that's just something special. Wow!.....

It's 100% beautiful!

Now that is attention to detail, holding a rag under the carbs when you tickle them. Stunning piece of kit.

A stunner. An absolute credit to you, mate.

Nice touch with the chrome pieces. Super clean. I had a 1976 T140V it never looked as good as yours, great job.

Perfection ! Thank you.

The new Triumphs though probably much better built and potentially more reliable, don't hold a candle to these oldies in my view. This example is beyond spectacular, and a credit to its owner. There is something honest about the older British motorcycles, something we will never likely see again, not with all the Nanny state EU restrictions. In my youth in the 60's I owned a 1949 Thunderbird with a sprung hub, and later a Tiger 90, neither of them with any real value at the time when they were cheap and readily available. Lusted after a Bonnie, could never afford one. Mind you I had some luck. I bought a BSA A7 in bits, in a crate for 3 English pounds. It was complete too and turned out a nice bike....

The entire bike is beautiful

I'm having trouble watching this, I'm drooling too much

That's the most beautiful motorcycle I've ever seen. I get why purists would scoff but... I don't care! It's stunning!

Clean, upright, uncluttered. Perfect.

beautiful gorgeous bike. makes me goosebumpy as had a 750 version that I bought new in the '70's and didnt appreciate it enough at the time

Just absolutely gorgeous !

Beautiful! Sowns like a Balmore accent, my home town

Being a BMW guy I have never ridden a Triumph but if I had to name one bike as the best looking of all time it would probably be the Triumph Bonneville. Wouldn't mind owning one either.

Man that bike is a real credit to you well done. The art of motorcycle esthetics from the factory peeked with the Bonneville 750 and the Ducati SS 900 Desmo imho and will never be superseded as far as a cool looking motorcycle goes. As for as outside of factory builds go its hard to go past a well done Frisco style shovelhead chopper.

Owned a 68 in 75. Paid 400.00 for it. Thought I was James Dean, lol!

Awsome .Did a grate job on your tryumph .they are nice bikes .

The sound! 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful bike I'd rather have that than a new T120 any day

Well done. I'm a Bonne past and present rider/owner. Value,.....24K+.

That bike is absolutely gorgeous!!!

Beautiful Bike..

Fantastic looking and sounding bike...well done.

Best i'v sean. magnificent ! Beautiful body lines combined with typical British attention to detail for this legendairy 68 reputed to be the best Bonneville ever made. Well done mate !

Had one in the late 70's. Thought I was. James Dean. Light and great handling. Not a road hog.

My 1968 Bonnie was a wonderful bike, the factory color was called "Olympic-Flame" I'd call it redish-orange like a sunset but that's just my thinking. Moved to Washington DC and every time I went out someone would try to kill me on the highway, that was pre-subway and the roads were totally a mess. Anyway I sold it (sorry to say) and I've wanted it back ever since.

absolutely immaculate and perfect

Looks better than new. Can remember them 'new' in the day and they didn't look that 'sparkling' no way. The alloy sand castings on the next decade '70s bikes were no where near as well finished as the earlier models actually as labour problems arose at Meriden. The sixties were the best of them, unless you like the fifties pre-units a lot. Those were very nicely finished for quality too.

The Brits ruled the world at one time and that bike there's an example of why

I remember trying as hard as I could to kick start my Dads Triumph. At 5 I did not have the weight to overcome the bikes compression. Funny thing is I could kick over his Z1 no problem.

It is beautiful mate respect xx. Triumph owner xxden

Awesome i would be afraid to ride it Probably the Best ive ever seen

Fawless :-) If I watch your video, I think I have to ride my T100R in the next saison. Thanks for the inspiration :-D

Beautiful bike, should the chaincase cover have access for strobing [a circular plate ]. It may have been changed for an earlier one at some time in the past. I had a 68 Bonneville when I was a 1000 years younger and its still my favourite.

Absolutely beautiful machine guy. Try to preserve that one. I'm trying very hard to with my 1970 Norton. Getting there.

68 bonny the best year they were made .. .

Looks like you found it on the showroom floor🏆

Beautiful bike.
