Z1rtc kawasaki en mangeais nimporte quand des cbx! Sur route comme sur piste! 10.93 sec 1/4 mille a 133 mph. Et top speed 162 mph! Bye bye cbx en 1979

Beautiful color bright engine wheels and chrome so much better than the fugly black and gray everything on today’s bikes

I agree the 1968 t120r is the best Bonneville ever made

I have had my Triumph Tr-6 with a hard tail and magneto for 40 years. Reliable and dependable transportation. I have never heard of a Triumph motor going bad at 6,000 miles. Someone had to abuse the bike for that to happen.

1970 was the ultimate Triumph Bonneville

Can I just do the exhaust side leaving the inlet alone

Can I just do one exhaust side on it’s own without the inlet side

Shims are Not readily available. Certainly Were Not in 1980. Few Jaguar shops had even half of the collection of shims required. Then one is into Cutting Valve stem heights to get within range of AVAILABLE shims. Lots of wor. OEM Valves were a bit soft consequently the need for adjustment was Fairly frequent. Often "better' shops would upgrade the Valves (all) with stronger / better materials valves.

One of the best looking bikes of all time.

nice video. just started my engine for the first time yesterday on my recently purchaced 420G valves were rattling although it's probably years since the old girl had ran.

Really beautiful looking Bonneville, especially the colour. Absolutely right when you said how easily it was to fling them through corners but being absolutely stable. That was my experience riding a couple of '70 Bonnevilles. One motorcycle journalist said quote unquote " You could flick your Triumph through a series of esses while picking your nose and staring a cool looking chick"

The British version still had mild steel mudguards, or as you call them, fenders.

Loved the music and the procedure.

Bought my 68 in Naples Italy aboard ship. I had it shipped to Virginia . Had it for the remainder of my enlistment then rode her her back to R I and it never gave me a problem. What a magnificent machine she was from the looks of her to the sound and handling. I DO wish I had her back 😢

Great feel guys

Pretty impressive 6-1 at 19 mine had a Marshall 6-1front pipes different but ,, amazing sound ,, ☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland great video 👍☘️

I had a 1965, and a 1968 and a 1972; all Triumph Bonneville's; I built the 1965 with the help of Broward County, Florida Triumph shop in 1975. Later in life I got a 1968 Triumph Trophy Tr25w 250 cc and had her redone...she was my favorite of all of them 100 mph on I-5 Washington state......for a 250!!!!! awesome !!!!

Nice accompanying description. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Chromed fenders? Big deal. 1973 had nice SS front fender. Can polish it to whatever degree you wish. I prefer the increased predictability of the stiffer OIF bike frame. Yes, a real difference in rideability and 'flickability,' even if 'purists' seek a traditional frame.

La persona que realizo este video no tiene idea de que es realizar una barbacoa o se burlo de las personas

Love you Phil…

Reliving my first bike, the 68 Bonnie. Quality presentation. Thank you.

Hey could I use some of this footage for a video I'm working on about the CBX?

good vid thanks . . with a nice choice of backing music

Still one of the best looking bikes ever made

Thanks for the video. CBX 1000 is an amazing bike! :)

Hola buenas noches!! Ese horno lo conozco es del restaurante el atoron en tequisquiapan Querétaro. Saludos

Wow my 1970 450 Honda Scrambler weight more than that with smaller engine

What a lovely tribute. I have been a huge fan since I was a kid and was fortunate to only a mile from the factory. I have to admit my favourate year was 1970 with the USA small fuel tank. While I'm in my late sixties, I still ride a Triumph, but the smaller T100R Daytona.

Good video on an amazing bike. I have a perfect 1978. I love it. By the way they all HAD electronic ignition.

Nice video bro. I had a 69 Bonneville in 1969 when I was 19 and yes it was the bike that guys wanted. I loved that bike and wish I had one as nice as yours.

That’s a Bonneville not a TR6 R.

Those are bing carbs on that bike and even 70s had chrome fenders,, facts only

Thank you for this gem of knowledge, I shall definitely use it as a Oint of reference. Thanks again👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

No wonder the Chevy LS series engines are my preferred engines.

Instead of trying to manufacture what Triumph is now turning out as a " modern " Bonny, why don't they simply reproduce the original 68 model with refined engineering. ? I'd buy one for a start.

Good video. Well done , but lose that horrible music!!!!!!

2-25-21 @ 1427 hrs. My first m/c wuz a brand new 650 Bonneville that I bought in 1968 at the Triumph Dealer on Rte. 83 in Vernon, Ct. But it had Silver painted fenders with a Red stripe down the middle of each one.

Good looking machines, my favorite but I'm biased. Bought a new TR6C in '69 and a restored TR6R 7/20. My old ass is probably too beat to ride it. (not)

The 650cc 68 model was the best one and should never have gone to 750cc; more vibration, heavier and lower compression with less hp. In the 1970s the quality control was terrible and the engine leaked oil like a sieve from everywhere.

1970 is the one to have.

How did you get Bill Murray to do the narration?😁

I've had mine for 30 years import from the US to Australia. The guards are stainless steel not chrome as stated

I have a 79 and 82

Texcarguy, We're in Australia. It's been a while and I got it wrong. The 'A' model numbers actually start at 2010021 and his is 2010033 :)

Hi Texcarguy, Your frame number was 2010033? Sorry to be unclear :)

Hi Texcarguy :) My brother has an A model bike and its frame number finishes with 23 and books say the first bike put together in the US started with a number ending in 12. My brother is into finding out whether there are 'A' model bikes still running which have a number between 12 and 23 (ending number). Would you mind checking your bike's frame number and telling me what it is. Not crowing information, just very interested. Yours,
