The Triumph Bonneville Bible: All Models 1959-1988
This book presents a clear and detailed history of the Triumph Bonneville, covering its origins, design, production, and reception at the time. It explains how the Bonneville compared with British and Japanese rivals and places the motorcycle within the wider story of the Triumph company.
The book follows Triumph from its success in the 1960s, when the Bonneville achieved major sales in North America, through the difficulties of the 1970s, the creation of the workers' co-operative that kept production alive, and the later continuation under spares manufacturer Les Harris into the late 1980s. Year-by-year production changes are described, supported by technical specifications and period road tests.
Unlike many other titles, this book also provides practical guidance on buying a Bonneville second-hand, explaining common problems, what to check, and what ownership is really like. Extensive appendices include facts and figures, contacts, full technical data with correct colours by year, engine and frame numbers, and road test performance results. It is the definitive reference to one of Britain's most important and usable classic motorcycles.
