1967 Triumph T120R Bonneville

1967 Triumph T120R Bonneville sits near the top of Triumph's parallel-twin range as the sporting flagship of the Bonneville line, the bike other British twins were measured against. This is a machine built for open-road riding at speed, with a chassis that rewards a rider who wants to lean into corners rather than cruise in a straight line. It demands mechanical sympathy — regular attention to the twin carbs, chain, and points — but in return delivers the kind of direct, physical connection to the road that modern bikes have largely engineered away. Owning one means accepting some fettling as part of the deal, not a flaw to be fixed. The 1967 model carried over without significant mechanical changes from the prior year — buyers comparing it to a 1966 example should focus on mileage, service history, and condition rather than spec differences. Today's buyer tends to be an experienced rider or collector who already owns a modern machine and wants something with real mechanical character for weekend rides. Given high collector interest, well-documented, unmolested examples of the 1967 Triumph T120R Bonneville are increasingly bought as much for investment as for riding.
