A Piece of History
Posted by Gerald Langston on
For Throw Back Thursday we bring you the latest addition to our "Museum Bikes" a beautifully restored 1973 Triumph Bonneville. This bike can be viewed at Langston Motorsports along with many other Championship, Magazine and Historical bikes during business hours.
About the Triumph.
1973 was a big year for this model, It was given a disk brake up front, Oil in the frame a reservoir, it was bored out from 650 cc to 750 cc and it had a new 5 speed gearbox. An interesting feature of this bike is that the U.S.A models had a smaller Gas tank than the Euro models which was called the Tear Drop version. In our opinion it made the bike way nicer looking.
