The T140 Bonneville took over from the smaller T120 in 1973 and continued to represent the archetypal British twin into the classic revival of the 1980s. Alongside it ran the Tiger 750 and later came a selection of variants in size and to back the Bonneville. Their history is recorded here in words and pictures.
