Post Sale Update: This special Bonnie sold for $11,253.53 after 25 bids on eBay.
The Bonneville has been around since 1959, and since that time there have been a few limited edition runs like the Silver Jubilee I’ve previously featured. In 2009, Triumph released 650 examples of a 50th Anniversary bike, and this one stands out as it’s still in (or really on) the crate it was shipped in.
Can you guess why 650 examples were built? I’ll give you a minute. The original Bonnie displaced 650cc, hence the production number – a brass plaque on the handlebar clamp reminds you of that. My favorite aspect has to be the paint scheme, which is obviously inspired by the “Tangerine Dream” colorway of the original bike. This limited edition also gets special decals and a chrome cam cover but the only changes here are cosmetic.
This bike is number 182 of the 650 and it has just 0.6 miles on the odometer. The seller says they were unable to find any damage or issues with it, so find this 50th Anniversary Bonnie for sale in Tucson, Arizona with bidding up to $6,800
