This is a meticulously detailed history of the Triumph Bonneville:
its antecedents, how it came about, and year-by-year production
changes, with detailed technical specifications and contemporary
road test reports showing how the Bonneville compared with its
rivals. However, the history of the bike cannot be separated from
the turbulent story of the company that built it. Triumph went from
huge successes in the 1960s, when the Bonneville conquered North
America, to troubled times in the early 1970s, leading to the
formation of the workers co-operative that heroically kept the
Bonneville alive for a further nine years. All this is covered
here, plus details on how Triumph spares producer Les Harris took
over production into the late ‘80s. Unlike other Bonneville
books, this one also tells you how to buy one of these iconic bikes
secondhand – all the pitfalls, what to look for, and what they
are really like to live with. Whichever one you choose, it should
be fast, agile and good looking ... on a twisty country road,
there's nothing like a Bonnie, and with information on clubs,
websites, spares, and the latest modifications and upgrades, this
book will help you get the one you deserve. Featuring comprehensive
appendices of facts, figures, contacts, technical specifiations
(including correct colours for each year), engine/frame numbers,
and road test performance figures, this is the definitive book of a
bike that truly deserves the term ‘practical classic.'
