1959
Triumph Bonneville T120
Named in honour of Johnny Allen's 214 mph land speed record set on the Utah salt flats in 1956, the T120 Bonneville was Triumph's definitive sporting twin. Twin Amal carburettors, high-compression pistons, and a sportingly tuned chassis made it the aspirational bike for an entire generation. 1969 saw the apex of its development at 47 hp.
