2012 Triumph Bonneville Registration no. YF12 RZP Frame no. SMTTJ9107GC531641 Engine no. 7532751 When John Bloor's new Hinckley-based Triumph company launched its debut range at the Cologne Show in the autumn of 1990, it shamelessly raided its old Coventry predecessor's back catalogue for model names. 'Trophy', 'Trident' and 'Daytona' were all represented but there was one glaring omission: 'Bonneville', by far and away the most famous Triumph model designation of all time. Clearly, Triumph was saving it for something special, but enthusiasts would have to wait another ten years to find out what it would be. Predictably, it turned out to be a parallel twin, boasting sufficient 'retro' styling cues to forge strong links in the public consciousness with its illustrious forebear. This Bonneville was acquired by the vendor in 2014 and used regularly; however, he is now struggling with bigger bikes so feels it is time for it to go. The machine displays a total of 16,589 miles on the odometer and is offered with a V5C document.
