1965 Triumph TT Special

This is a T120R Bonneville with the rare and correct factory parts for a 1965 TT Special. This bike looks just like a TT, but this one sells for half the price, (it's on ebay right now). I did not build this sweet bike, it came to me just as you see it in the photos, set up like a TT Special with; folding pegs, alloy fenders, no lights, battery-less ignition (not ET), correct wire harness, tacho only, TT pipes, proper decals.
Easy to start, literally fires right up on the first kick every time. Very powerful, sounds very strong, lots of low to mid range torque, sounds and feels like it has hot cams. Nice collectible bike or put lights on it and have a really cool street tracker.
Bike is an older high quality restoration now with light patina. Beautiful bike, tons of character, gets lots of attention at events. I fire it up and blast around the farm and various events every now and then.
Has Borrani alloy rims with stainless spokes, Borrani rims were a nice period correct upgrade back in the day.
Recent tuneup and service.
This bike can be shipped anywhere in the world.

Those sound sick straight piped. I would ride that on the road, people out here would think it's a Harley

Nice!! I have a 1969 650 Bonneville stock.👌🏻👍🏻

[@andrerodriguez7603]

Really nice. I love to see all original triumphs, not all shinny and restored. Running good and mechanically sound is all you need. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@roygumpel8415]

What size are those tires? And rim size wm2 & wm3? Looks really good! Thinkin same style my matchless g15

That thing is definitely WAY lower compression than the one my dad has.. At 6'10 320 it takes all my leg strength to force his through and takes most of my weight to jump on it.. but then his was set up for flat track racing before we got it.. Vid here if you want to see it. kzbin.info/aero/PL6Gz_TRD0rk3HWVwz5Wgl0hHWPxJCxzp6

What's the compression ratio on this motor?

[@jaratt85]

@@jameslane3167 his I'd say maybe 9.5:1 MAX, a typical Bonneville was only 8.5:1 the one my dad has.. not sure but I'm guessing over 12.5:1 being set up for racing. The factory T120C/T120TT compression ratio was 11:1. They also had larger cams and carbs than the standard Bonneville. They used the 389/95 carb which was oddly the same used on the 1961 TR5R engine I used to own.. just two instead of one.
