Triumph Bonneville 750 T140V 1973?

Your thoughts on the above machine please

the 73 was not a good yr, regarding the electrical......but triumph and norton were famous for poor chargeing systems.. don't let this hold you back buying one if it's in decent shape....... they got lots of torque, so 2 up is no problem... brakeing is only fair , vibration is not bad .... I had several english bikes over the yrs. .....bsa and royal enfield were my favorites .......parts for all these are easy to get and prices are reasonable..., a bonnie would be a good choice for a female of a lighter build..... big enough but not bulky , plenty of power but not radical , easy to work on , not hard to start thanks to the amal concentric bowels ( carbs.....hope this helps a little.......Daryl

If your thinkng of buying do so harder and harder to get. Time work and money can sort any problems out.
I would give my left nut for an old Bonny. Bob that **** and ride it hard. If you put the time into it, then you are sure get your time out of it. Hells yeah babe, get that bike and you will have a nice little scoot. If you need any help with the project, just let me know, all I charge is the beer...
I think it's a motorcycle. What do you want to know?
Nice chassis........................OH U MEAN THE BIKE!!!! thought u meant your pic ;) lol
I had one of these when it was 2 years old, absolutely hated it, the engine was pretty good but overheated, electrics were pretty crap and the chrome on the wheels not much better than italian chrome. Spent a lot of time getting the thing sorted but the engine was very good and had a lot of potential for tuning.
