Triumph’s Bonneville and its single-carbed sibling, the TR6, are two of the most revered models in all of motorcycling. Distinguished by their handsome lines and pace-setting performance, the Bonneville and Tiger ruled the streets and race tracks from their introduction in the late 1950s through Triumph’s golden age in the 1960s. Devotion to the marque remained strong even as the sun slowly set on the company’s fortunes in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The original Triumph’s demise in 1983 simply served to cement the legendary status of its long-lived top guns, the Bonneville and TR6.Today the Bonnie and Tiger are highly sought-after classics—machines whose pedigree demands correct mechanical restoration and accurate refinishing.Triumph Bonneville and TR6 Motorcycle Restoration Guide: 1956-1983 contains all the information needed to guarantee the correct restoration of your classic. More than 250 photos and extensive technical appendices supplement Triumph expert David Gaylin’s thoroughly researched text. Growing up in Baltimore, Maryland and near the US Triumph motorcycle distributor, David's first bike (a 1970 Bonneville) had to be one of these British-built machines. After The Triumph Corporation closed in 1975, he was able to acquire much of their internal documents and memos along with truckloads of brochures, manuals and service bulletins. This vast archive would become the foundation for two books: Triumph Motorcycles in America, coauthored with Lindsay Brooke, and Triumph Motorcycle Restoration Guide. His feature articles have appeared in Vintage Bike and Classic Bike magazines, and he is currently gathering material for an illustrated history of the Wall of Death.
