“Grumph” Project – 1966 Greeves Challenger with Triumph T100 Engine
Post Listing Update: This hybrid did not get any interest at the opening bid of $3,000 on eBay. You’ve heard of Tritons, and maybe you’ve heard of the odd Norley or the Burton.

1978 Triumph Bonneville T140V
If you’re looking for a Bonneville to ride, the second generation (T140) can be very appealing as they’re typically cheaper than the T120 and they have some quality upgrades: 100 more cubic centimeters of displacement, a front disc brake, and an additional gear in the transmission.
