The MKIII 75 Commando’s are the last year for the make and include electric start, front and rear disc brakes, left hand shift, and  integrated anti sump valve.  850 motor pulls like a truck and sounds like a Norton should.  The Commandos continue to appreciate, moreso the electric start MKIIIs as us old guys have a harder time kicking the big twins over.

Non-stock items include non-crossover pipe headers (ie 750 style), peashooter mufflers, and removable (vs hinged) seat. 

Great bike from a very good home and a knowledgeable, conscientious owner.  Just had routine service work and detailing done to prepare for sale while the season is still here.  Reluctant sale.

$9400 to a good home only.

Great story with this bike.  James from UK called one day in 2009 and announced he wanted to ship a Bonnie he bought on eBay to our shop and get it sorted.  Well, one Friday the bike showed up at 11AM and James arrived at 1PM.  Turns out he does biz, and has a daughter in, Montreal so, naturally, he needed a Brit bike for the summer  Happy to help, we did all he usual maintenance and upgrades necessary to make the Bonnie a dependable summer fun runner.  Then is was back to the shop in the fall for clean up, oil change and storage. 

This machine is a nice condition 2.5 to 3.0 with all good chrome.  Starts and runs as good as it looks.  10,000 miles on the speedo (no reason to believe it is not accurate, but we really never know).  The 75-78 Bonnies and TR7 Tigers are favorites of riders new to the classic scene.  They sport a very usuable (and torquey) power curve, 5 speed gearbox, front and rear disc brakes, directions and the shifter on the left side, like more modern bikes.  And, there is no mistaking them as a classic Triumph in the look, sound and feel. 

VJEMC guidelines peg this bike at between $7500 (condition 2) and $5000 (condition 3).  This bike is a buy it and ride it deal.  We know this bike very well and are sure you'll be happy with it if you fancy a 750 Bonnie.

Get your motor running and have some fun while the season lasts on a Classic Brit bike. This is a very handsome 1967 BSA A65 Lightning that has just had work done on it and been assessed by The Classic Bike Experience in Essex, VT. Owner bouught a stunning Commando and now has to thin his herd (two bike rule in effect on the home front and he has another BSA), so we are listing it for him. What you see is more or less what you get. Condition 4.5 bike (see CBE website for discriptions) ready to ride for the balance of the season.

The bike has relatively new paint, decent chrome and finishes and everything works. Carbs have been rebuilt and synchronized and the Boyer electronic ignition properly timed. Tires are in good shape, seat has no tears and rear shocks are Hagons. We'll even include a free VT inspection sticker if the new owner is from Vermont. Starts and runs on the first or second kick.

These machines would normally fetch $3000 +/- in this condition. However, this bike is not matching numbers and will need some motor work at some point. Owner has agreed to discount the price significantly and asked that we try to find it a good home with a mechanically minded owner. The ideal buyer would ride it the rest of the summer and then do some restoration work in the winter time.

We have a very complete Condition 5/6 Commando that will be an excellent base for a full restoration, a Gus build, or something in between.  We committed to the owner that this bike will only go to a good, local home.  Our preferred scenario is that the buyer embark on an assisted restoration with our membership program.  The 73 Nortons are the highest value 750 Roadsters as by 73 all the important fixes were in production and by the end of 73, the 850s were on the scene.  There are several ways to approach this bike's renaissance, so give us a buzz and let's talk it over.

Sweet, sweet 500 Daytona. Restored a few years ago for a gentlemen in NH who needs to thin his herd of bikes a bit.  The machine was serviced in the spring by CBE and, as the motor had very few miles on it from the rebuild, we were asked to ride it as much as possible.....uh, OK :)  The 73's have the benefit of directional signals and twin leading shoe front brake.  The bike goes as good as it looks and it looks very, very good. 

500's are a breeze to kick over, are lighter than the 650/750/850s  and make a good starter bike for someone new to the classic scene.  They will easily keep up with high speed traffic, but the secondary roads are where you'll want to spend your time on this beauty.  We'll set up a Shutterfly site with more pics soon.  This is a Condition 2 plus bike.  2009 VJEMC price guideline has it at $7800.  

 Price Reduced to $4800

This bike is owned by our Service Manager, Welby and obviously it comes from a very good home.  This is a round barrel Enduro with correct knobby tires.  This was the kick-butt trail bike back in the day.  Nice, nice bike.  Condition 2 Victor ready to go.  More info and pics on the Shutterfly website below:

Coming soon.....the best the the Trident lot, the 74's had all the fixes  in and still retained that delightful Triumph look.  Nick, our parts guy, is thinning the herd and plans to sell his Trident soon.  Just wants to fettle a bit more to get it running spot on for the next owner.

Check back often as he expects to list it in August.
