Debuting in 1959, the Bonneville is arguably the definitive British sporting vertical twin. Derived from its Tiger 110 stablemate and influenced by production racing practice, the newcomer featured a twin carburettor-fed cylinder head. The model was revised annually to keep it ahead of rivals. New frames were introduced in 1960 and 1963, the latter coinciding with a switch to unit construction. For 1964 the Bonneville benefited from new front forks fitted with external springs and the adoption of steel mudguards, while its 650cc engine was made freer breathing and gained larger carburettor chokes. Differences existed between the US and UK market machines, the former utilising higher set handlebars and an alternative twist grip. However, variants on both sides of The Pond featured a Gold over Alaskan White petrol tank complimented by Gold-striped White mudguards.
Accompanied by lots of receipts for parts and work carried out, this handsome T120R is understood to have seen light use since being restored to a good standard. Reportedly a ‘matching numbers’ machine, it is finished in authentic colours and offered for sale with a current V5C Registration Document and sundry MOT paperwork.
