Condition & Features

Due to Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) in my legs I am no longer able to kick start this bike. Therefore I am offering it up for a new home ! I took a 3rd place in the 2008 MMMF (M.E.B.A. Merchant Marine Memorial Foundation) Car & Bike Show in the Foreign Manufacture class and felt that was pretty good since I was competing with over 30 bikes and all of them were new or late model foreign built bikes. Since then I have maintained the battery and regularly turned over the engine . I would recommend changing the oil and cleaning the fuel system before starting. When I regularly rode this bike I gave it a complete tune-up every Spring before taking it out. I did put STA-BIL� Fuel Stabilizer in the gas prior to parking in my garage. History of Triumph\’s 1971 T120RV Bonneville\’s Those of you that know your Triumphs say, the T120RV did not come out until 1972 and you are correct. However there were a few manufactured as 1971 models. Most sources say the T120RV did not come out until 1972 and for biggest part that is correct as officially they did not. The \’71 T120RV, is a 5 speed Bonneville that was manufactured by Triumph to permit them to be used in American Motorcycle Association production-based racing. In order to race, all bikes had to be made and sold to the public in the same basic form as they would be raced. To meet this requirement Triumph had to produce and sell at least 200 of them before they qualified. The exact number built is not readily known but suspected to be slightly over the 200 requirement. This bike is one of those ! I am only the second owner. The following is what I have unearthed in over 6 years of research ! The VIN# started with the model, (T120RV) followed by the production date of the month first and then the year indicated by letters, then came the serial number. The first letter �G� represents June and the second letter �E\” standing for 1971. Now since the 71 year ran from August 1970 – July 1971 a bike
