    his comments on a carb vs efi....so true. I grew up feathering the throttle to find power when needed...and it's the reason I still own a carb bike today for MY pleasure. When my wife rides with me...we take the giant Ultra Limted with all the goodies (2016)...but when it's just me...I like the old bike. Raw and unrefined and has my heart.

Anything that gets more spunk out of it is the way to go. The real reason he didn't install a pumper is because it would be more expensive and cut into his margins.

    Inspiring! Leave it to Cycle World to introduce this wonderful machine, and shoot a video that makes you want to bust-ass to save and buy one, or build your own. After over thirty-years of subscribing to CW and reading religeously, this bike has inspired me more than any other. Classic lines, off-road capability and a coolness that McQueen himself would surely approve of...

    Looks like the Alabama Hills. The hills are on the east side of the Sierra Nevada just west of the little town of Lone Pine (US 395). This is the area where the old black and white western movies were made; Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Lone Ranger etc. The old hotel in town has lots of momentos. Cool place to ride.

      I was born in Lone Pine, 1963. Grew up in Ridgecrest. Dad was a "Sandblaster" (motorcycle club.) He and others rode all over the Mojave desert. Hare and Hound, Barstow to Vegas. By the time we moved in 1970 to Utah he was riding a Triumph Bonneville 650. He started on a Honda SL 100. His name is Mitch Miller. Been on the cover of Hot Rod Magazine twice. And, though I don't remember it, he owned a 57 Bel Air Business Special with the fuel injected 283. My dad, his friend that drove, and the car held the track record at Inyokern Speedway for four years. ET was 14:00 in the quarter mile.

  • @ShawnKitchen
    @ShawnKitchen 13 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I like James Loughead's perspective on letting the motorcycle "be what it is". There's a sort of cultural expectation (in the modern age, at least) of making the motorcycle do what the rider wants - a desire to make the motorcycle do the conforming. I tend to be more of the mindset that every bike has their own personality, and that there's an enjoyment that can come from learning to accept each bike for what it is and not trying to make it become something that it's not.

    the history of Triumph is built on the vast numbers of guys who saw the wet spot on the pillion seat where the girl sat. It's rather like Harley in that way - the Bonneville was the UK's Harley with it's unique exhaust note and vibration. With the new 900cc Scrambler Triumph revive old memories, for the 270 degree crank on a parallel twin seems to invoke the same sound and vibration that the common crank pin V twin of the Harley does. If Harley and Triumph sell enough of these machines the sex toy business will go bankrupt

    Superb Bike!!! Same as what I do on my 1979 or 1981 Yamaha XT500 enduros every week,,,ride the country roads in Nebraska, and it's the best kept secret among those who do it. Everybody thinks showing off their ego, chrome and loud pipes on pavement is where it's at,,,well go right ahead. I've been a life long rider and said goodbye to pavement, stop lights, road ragers, & cell phone texting drivers. And ego is left in the dust when I can go 5mph or 50 mph on country roads,,,alone in peace!

Bates seat, high pipes and nobbies. Traded her for a half finished café racer of the same mark a few years later. Been kicking myself in the ass for thirty freakin years!

    Lucky me! I still have my 1976 Triumph Bonneville T140V purchased new January 10th, 1977. I took the stock mufflers off dropping the weight from 395 lbs to @ 365 lbs, I did put on a wide handlebar, took out the foam seat and raced her on a motocross track against my own (other rider) 1977 Suzuki RM125C. I lead for 3 laps until while flat tracing with the back end hung all the way out in a left curve my left boot got caught up in some really deep loamy powdery grey sand and pulled me down. You need to know my bike was so much faster everywhere. You also need to know that I had crushed my pelvis and dislocated both of my hips back in 1972 so I was just not as strong, nor did I have the stamina to race a street desert sled on an motocross track for more than 3 laps. I'm positive had I been uninjured I could have kept up the lead all day long. P.S. I did win every street cafe race on Long Island NY with curvy back roads (think Isle of Man TT roads) for 10 years from 1977 to 1987 only stopping when I got married and put her in the garage. No one I have ever met can claim winning every street cafe race for 10 consecutive years. That's how good an owner maintained Bonneville really is. I took her out again in 1992 and cafe raced against a brand new Kawasaki Ninja 1100 and Honda V4 1000cc Interceptor and won! Handling is the key that and the ability to stop from 60 mph in 111 ft. as my Bonneville can She is still totally stock. Never spent a penny for aftermarket parts except the wide handle bars and that was because my brothers father in-law wanted to "only" kick start my bike, he froze up and his eyes glazed over and he put her in gear and drove right into a tree in the backyard, bending my stock handlebars. I raced on Stock Dunlap K70-H street tires as well, they look as if they are almost semi knobby they provided the exact amount of grip to let me know when I was sliding and that only happened at 10/10th's riding- which is racing.
    You know what she is parked around 20 feet from me as I type this. I love My Triumph Bonneville with all my hart. It changed my life. I went on and became a mechanical designer and I am now disabled and retires but still riding at age 65.
    So yes I would recommend a new Bonneville as it still has a Parallel twin with a 360 deg crank or the version in this video which has the 270 deg crank!

This gives you the opportunity to require a greyhound/pit bull cross.The lack of suspension movement, to allow this long sleek line, but the distance to require big soft power, guts & grunt, not edge & zing.Get the dust covers right, the grease nipples to clean bearings & a chain guard to keep the chair ware real, and then old gods of Meriden will smile on you.

    I have an 1973 yamaha sc500 2 stroke. Its a great all around bike. Good in the dirt as well as on the road. The funnest bike Iv ever ridden, and one I will never sell. So easy to control and handle. And I clocked it at 103mph on stock motocross gearing. They don't make bikes like that anymore. Scramblers are great.

      Restoring a 1970 Yam 200E Enduro because it was so much fun, I just can't let it die. Yes that's me riding this bike . . .

      nebulaunfolding nice. I used to bush bash an XR500 in Western Australia try and keep up with big red kangaroo in the scrub. Happy times and no broken bones!

    Bishop. Them downslope winds in the evening get cold and mean. Beautiful though.

      see my comment of two years ago..Looks like the Alabama Hills. The hills are on the east side of the Sierra Nevada just west of the little town of Lone Pine (US 395). This is the area where the old black and white western movies were made; Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Lone Ranger etc. The old hotel in town has lots of momentos. Cool place to ride.
