1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 T120R Ride

just got this Bonnie running, short video showing one of its first runs.

Never cease to be amazed when watching these motorcycle vids from America at just how little traffic seems to be on the roads no matter where they are shot from.

[@thansonmopar]

The USA is just a lot more spread out. A lot less population concentration. Makes for great cruising roads!

[@robertbruce1887]

Nice looking, nice sounding with good acceration. Great roads for a ride. I'm old enough to remember when motorcyclists commonly waved to each other when they passed each other!

[@williamdejeffrio9701]

The most beautiful of all the Bonnies in my opinion. I had one...

[@rodan2852]

Im tempted to sell off my possesions, and live on one of these. This workin for the man bit is done got outta hand. 650cc's to freedom 🤟

[@larsalexandersson2253]

I keep watching this video because it sounds and feels just like riding my own Bonneville.

[@thansonmopar]

Much appreciated!

[@shingerz]

Wow sounds and looks bloody fantastic and what gorgeous countryside 👍

[@roygumpel8415]

coolest bike ever.

[@christophersmith7714]

Beautiful area you lie in! I have a 66 TR6R Bobber custom that I have just finished. Need blue sky like you have! Cheers from UK

My first "big" bike was a 63 Bonnie,loved that bike! Ran like a top!

[@SlowRide723]

I'd take this bike over a Porsche or Ferrari any day if the week. What a masterpiece

[@franzbranntewein1534]

A bike with plenty of torque and montainous, nice and well-wooded surroundings. What could be better?

[@derekcollins1972]

Beautiful machine

[@thansonmopar]

thank you

[@carlnapp4412]

That sound says it all, congrats! I have got a '72 Bonnie. What an awesome landscape. Where is it?

[@thansonmopar]

Thanks, its the Black hills of South Dakota

[@carlnapp4412]

@@thansonmopar Thanks a bunch!

[@Earclops]

Gorgeous. Are these bikes easy to maintain? I recently sold my 2011 Bonneville and am thinking of getting a classic one around this year if one becomes available.

[@thansonmopar]

Everything is relative. British bikes from the 60's need a bit more love than most any modern bike however its worth dealing with. The sound and vibration are unique on the old ones!

[@Earclops]

@@thansonmopar Wonderful. Thanks for writing back. I'm officially keeping an eye for a future ride.

[@stephencroft6481]

Where abouts in the states is this ?

[@thansonmopar]

@@stephencroft6481 Lead, South Dakota. It’s an old mining town in the Black Hills.

[@michaelbrett3749]

Why isnt your tach and speedo working?

[@thansonmopar]

Because they are British

[@michaelbrett3749]

@@thansonmopar That’s a poor excuse. Did you ever grease the cables? Are the cables broken? If it’s the speedo head get it repaired. If it’s the gearbox get a new one. There’s no excuse for shoddy maintenance.

[@yashwanthkannan816]

What is the mileage of this bike

[@thansonmopar]

approximately 10,000 miles

[@yashwanthkannan816]
