1963 Triumph Bonneville T120R

This 1963 Triumph Bonneville T120R was restored under previous ownership and was acquired by the seller in 2026. Finished in Alaskan White, the bike is powered by a 649cc parallel-twin mated to a four-speed transmission. Features include a kick-starter, dual Amal carburetors, a chrome dual exhaust system, drum brakes, wire-spoke wheels, painted fenders, a headlight and tailight, Smiths instrumentation, and a two-up seat. The oil was changed, and the battery was replaced under current ownership. This Bonneville is offered with a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.

The bodywork was refinished during the build in Alaskan White with gold and black stripes. Details include painted fenders, a headlight, a chrome tank rack, “harmonica” tank badges, black rubber knee grips, a two-up seat, a taillight, folding passenger foot pegs, and a center stand.

The 19″ and 18″ wire-spoke wheels are laced to chrome-finished steel rims and are mounted with Dunlop Gold Seal tires. Suspension consists of a conventional telescopic fork with black rubber gaiters as well as dual shrouded shocks mounted to the swingarm. Braking is handled by a drum at each end.

The chrome-finished handlebar is mounted to the upper triple clamp ahead of a friction-style steering damper. Instrumentation consists of a Smiths reverse-sweep 150-mph speedometer and 10k-rpm tachometer joined by a Lucas ammeter in the headlight bucket. The five-digit odometer shows 439 miles, approximately 166 of which were ridden under current ownership.

The rebuilt 649cc OHV parallel-twin was factory rated at 50 horsepower and features a kick starter, twin Amal carburetors, and a chrome dual exhaust system with low-mounted mufflers. Service under current ownership consisted of changing the oil and replacing the battery.

The serialized characters, DU2822, of the engine number shown above match the stamping on the frame neck, a photo of which can be viewed in the gallery.

Power is transferred to the rear wheel through a right-side-shifted four-speed transmission and a drive chain wit ha black upper guard.
