This week's eBay searching led us to one of the most well known of the British triples; the original Triumph Trident. The seller states that this T150V is an original, numbers-matching example. It's been upgraded with electronic ignition, newly rebuilt wheels, new Dunstall-style megaphones, rebuilt gauges and more.

More from the seller: "This has a three cylinder, 750cc motor with five speed gearbox. Engine runs real strong and smooth, easy to start. Clutch and gearbox are smooth and quiet too. Engine has electronic ignition. Wheels are newly rebuilt by Buchanan's with polished stainless spokes and polish alloy rims. Hubs are freshly polished too. Mufflers are new Dunstall style megaphones that sound great. Gauges are rebuilt and gauge holders are new. Has extra oil pressure gauge. Has new TT100 Dunlops front and rear. New rear sprocket and chain. New fuel lines on carbs. Bike is very clean, not a show bike but something you can be proud of and ride. A very good Trident."

Perusing bikes for sale on eBay is always an interesting experience. What we end up looking at clearly depends on our mood at the time. Some days, we find ourselves stuck on Ducatis, looking for an elusive Mike Hailwood Replica or maybe a cool little Ducati single we could turn into a neat little retro-rat bike. On others, we’re drawn to the Orient, thinking about how cool it’d be to have an early Yamaha 2-stroker. 

Today it was Triumph, and the bike that caught our attention was this very rare and somewhat odd 1982 Bonneville “Royal Wedding.” Only the British would market a limited edition bike like this, of which only 250 were made. Half of those came to the U.S., and who knows how many of those have survived in original condition as many of them were converted to standard trim.

And in fact, this bike isn’t in standard trim, having been heavily modified by its owner with a Manx-style gas tank, a custom seat and tail fairing and drilled front brake rotors. The engine’s likewise been lightly customized, but the owners has most of the original parts and hardware to take the bike back to stock.

A daily rider, it could make a nice cross-country machine for anyone interested in the very last of the Triumph to come out of the old plant in Meriden, England. To see the auction for the 1982 Triumph Bonneville Royal Wedding, go here. To learn more about the bike’s modifications, go here. 

This week an unusual Bonneville caught our eye. Showing just just 2,557 original miles on the odometer, this 1982 Triumph Bonneville 750 is ready to ride.

According to the auction, this bike is 100 percent original, runs well, and will be ready to ride upon purchase.

A Triumph Bonneville may be the most popular of classic bikes, but the addition of a nice cafe racer kit can make a great classic into a more unusual classic.

This 1970 T120R Bonneville has what appears to be a nice Paul Dunstall fairing, fiberglass tank and seat base, along with Norman Hyde rearsets. The bike also has less than 100 miles on a freshly rebuilt engine and gearbox with 750cc Morgo barrels. It also comes with the original (though rough) gas tank, seat, 650cc barrels and pistons and much more.
