1964 Triumph Bonneville T120 650cc

There's little argument that a mid-1960s Triumph Bonneville is just about the best-looking Britbike ever made, with just-right proportions and a jaunty, let's-go-riding attitude. Comedian and motorcycle collector Jay Leno has owned a 1964 Bonnie for 28 years – it's identical to the T120 on offer here – and says, "As far as being a good-looking bike, they don't get much better. Simple, classic, elegant, it looks like a real motorcycle."
This was the second year for Triumph's unit-construction 650, relegating the arcane setup of separate crankcases and gearbox housing to the history books. The ignition system was also brought out of the Dark Ages, the ancient magneto/dynamo arrangement replaced with an alternator and points. The stiffer single-downtube chassis introduced in 1963 remained, though new-design forks were fitted. These had external springs covered by rubber gators, resulting in one of the best-handling road bikes of the 1960s.
