This is a meticulously detailed history of the Triumph Bonneville. Its precedents, how it came to be, and year-by-year production changes, detailed technical specifications and modern road test reports show how the Bonneville compared to its rivals. However, the history of the bike cannot be separated from the tumultuous story of the company that made it. Triumph's journey from the great success of the 1960s, when the Bonneville conquered North America, to the difficult times of the early 1970s, which led to the formation of a workers' cooperative that heroically kept the Bonneville alive for another nine years. All of this is covered here, in addition to details of how Les Harris, a Triumph spare parts producer, took over production in the late 80s. Unlike other Bonneville books, this book also teaches you how to buy one of these iconic bikes used. All the pitfalls, what to look for, and whether they really like living together. Whichever you choose, it should be fast, agile and look good... on a winding country road, nothing beats a Bonnie. With information on clubs, websites, spares, and the latest modifications and upgrades, this book will help you get the right one. Featuring a comprehensive appendix of facts, figures, contacts, technical specifications (including the correct colors for each year), engine/frame numbers, and road test performance figures, this is truly the definitive book on a bike worthy of the words "practical classic".
