Could anyone ID this Triumph.

Also, I would appreciate an idea of a fair price.

Thanks,

Looks like a T 120 R Bonneville to me. "Fair price" can vary wildly on old Brit bikes depending on make, model, year and condition. I would say somewhere in the area of $5,000CDN for this one, but you'd be better off to contact a shop that specialises in them for a more accurate estimate.

Looks like one carb... probably the Tiger.

Take a look here to get some ideas of prices. http://www.britcycle.com/default.htm

You're absolutely right!

It's a 1973 Tiger 650 done up as a mid-late '60's ride.

The entire bike has been redone incuding electrics. Also, it looks beautiful. It has been redone by a Triumph specialist.

Worth $4500? That is the price that I was asked...

btw, the cat that redid it would help me w/ any technical problems that may transpire. What do you think?

Beautiful looking bike.

I imagine it should be a good investment.

Yeah, that's the one I lost last year.

Thank-you for finding it. You can just ship it back to me anytime it's handy for you.... :wink:

On a more realistic level, you are aware that while that is a nice bike and appears in good shape, it is a maintance money-pit, right? Even new, they were hardly in the same league as any modern-ish bike, and it's over 30 years old now..... and those parts you will need are not available as readily.
No Witnesses.... :shifty:

Not to worry. I could read 'Tiger' on the side panel :lol: . That made me take a closer look.

BTW I really enjoy your blog and web-site mate.
