    One of the most beautiful bikes of all time. The Japanese had the engineering and sophistication but the British bikes had something special, magic and characterful.

      The British brought about most of the innovations. Japan just continued to develop them when complacency and union trouble caused a crisis within the British bike industry. They brought about their own demise but their original engineering skill should not be diminished.

    There's nothing like the sound of a Triumph. Beautiful bike. Riding a great bike on a nice day is the best high ever.

      I think the Brit-bike have more smooth "low" sound than the Jap´s who have a "harder" metallic sound that for me doesn´t sound so nice...

    Stunning bike. I owned a late 1960's Tiger 650 and a friend owned a similar Bonneville. The two bikes riding together always turned eyes. Loved them. Thanks for looking after such historical icons. From South Africa.

    68-70 was the pinnacle of 650 Triumph big twins.
    6CA ignition, tls front brake, superb chassis and forks, 20 years of development, 49-69.
    Some may say the 68-69 is more attractive, but the 70 was unique with the 3 bolt front engine plates, and as a mechanic, that little design bonus was a godsend.

    Gorgeous! 1970 was the last year before the switch to the questionable OIF (oil-in-frame) models & best year for the venerable 650 Tri-twin engine which was well-sorted near the end of its production run. (Last 650 was '72, before the switch to 750cc.) Looks like non-original paint for U.S. imports in '70, but that color combo is beautiful. Front tire looks like a Conti. RB-2 ribber, a great improvement over a K-70 for a front tire. I suspect the sidewalls are still good, having been in a controlled environment for 6 yrs. Electronic ignition, if not already done, would be the only mod I'd do w/ this relic.
