1975 Triumph Bonneville T140V
This is a 1972 Norton 750 Commando motorcycle being sold on behalf of a friend. The bike was imported from the US and has been in a garage since 2016 after being ridden from Bournemouth to Southampton. It has matching numbers and is mostly original, with the exception of the Norton silencers and paintwork. The bike is in sound condition, with good compression in the engine, no signs of rust in the fuel tank, and functioning front and rear brakes. However, the rear frame loop has been welded and the steering stops have been removed from the headstock and welded to the frame downtubes, which will require the skills of a welder/fabricator to repair. The chrome has surface rust and the rear shocks need to be replaced. This motorcycle is being sold as a restoration project or for spares/repair. The bike is located in Southampton, Hampshire and must be collected within five days of the auction end, with payment by bank transfer.
