HiYa,
Don't see these everyday. Pictures are lousy.
https://ebay.us/vX5qsG *Owner listed this as...One of the #130? This is incorrect! 200 were sold to the public & 4. were Prototypes. Total: 204. Note: These RT's were very easy to fake.

*A side note: I remember watching the Discovery Series...'A Bike Is Born' with Mark Evans. He did many facets of, 'Is Born' series. But, when they restored a 1970 Triumph Bonneville, to their amazement, it turned out to be an AMA Homologated 1970 T120RT.

**Mark Evans Web site: The Triumph Bonneville arrived at the workshop in a selection of cardboard boxes. I try to avoid restoring things that have already been stripped because working out how to put them back together again is so much harder and it can take forever if you have never worked on that kind of machine before. But, with a bike, there aren’t as many bits as there is with a car. The engine came as one lump. When we started rebuilding it, something didn’t seem quite right. It didn’t look like the exploded diagrams in the manuals we had unearthed.
And there was a good reason. It turned out, by complete accident, that we had bought a very special version of the Bonneville, one of a series used to homologate a race bike for a flat track racer in the USA. It wasn’t until after it was sold that we discovered, in an article in Classic Motorcycle magazine, just how rare they are. That article explained why we had so many people hassling us to buy it. We thought it was because of the quality of our restoration!
*M.A.D.*
