Hi. I have two 750 Triumphs from the period. A 1977 and a 1982. Both great bikes to ride with nice smooth and precise 5 speed gearbox’s, you can get along really well. Gorgeous feel in my opinion and the vibration is minor. I would miss it if it wasn’t there, it’s part of the feel of the bike, and hardly intrusive. Power is fine, balance is great and I still beleive it makes a great commuter bike with plenty of torque down low. You can really get away from the lights, the 750 surprises people with how nimble it is. I ride them a lot down here in Melbourne.

My wife has this exact same motorcycle. It was her Uncle’s before he died of cancer. He ordered it from a dealer in Nashua NH USA. It was one of only 4 that came to the USA

This is an exceptional motorcycle. This motorcycle is made for a professional. It is one of the finest Triumphs that they produced. Exceptional handling and braking with its front and rear disc brakes. This is equipped with electric starter and kick start. It has a specially balanced, light weight crankshaft that actually makes it smoother than the T-120 650 model. Please contact me if you want to know more about Triumph Bonnevilles as I am an avid writer and expert on that type and have an extended library that will answer any questions.

I bought one second hand in1984 and rode it for a year. The vibration was horrendous, I had to carry spare rear lamp bulbs What a relief to trade it at ‘ Eddies’ for a Honda 750/ 4. What a big mistake to take a nice 650 out to 750cc.
