    The best thing you can say is that it is a Triumph, a REAL oil leaking, pushrod packin' vibrating, gorgeous head turning hot rod. The history and tradition is awesome. Hey these were the bikes that James Dean and the Fonz rode! I really love the way the style has gone "retro-vintage" When people see my bike they freak... Real vintage has that effect. I bought my 1978 T140E used in 1980 and I've had it ever since. My bike's part of the family.

    Ease of repair, simplicity of engineering. Great parts availability (now, thanks to the Internet..) Absolute classic style. This is the real deal!

    Vibration makes your arms go numb.... I cant ride it more than about 50 miles and back, but I've got a BMW for touring.... This is my town bike.

Regular servicing is easily and cheaply done and prevents bits from falling off.The best thing are the astonished looks other bikers give when this diminutive motorcycle (no external indication of type or capacity in my case) is kicked into life and gives its healthy bark. Driving on bendy back roads is more fun than on any modern motorcycle, as an extremely relaxed seating positi ...

    I've got the Triumph T140E "american" export model - tall bars and round small tank. Its the same as late seventies Bonnie with one less carby (thats one if you don't know). Mine has had all the important bits rebuilt - engine, gearbox, clutch, chains etc., new paint in original style and good chrome. Its in good, ridable, reliable condition and I paid 6500 Aussie dollars for it which is about the going price. Mine was rebuilt by someone good at that sort of thing - I would hesitate at such a pr ...

    The Triumph T140E was comfortable (meaning the point at which bike & rider were not stressed). Not too noisy, both (bike & rider) relaxed and had something left to give, just in case. Handling on British A-roads below 70mph was fantastic.
