This bike was my friends Brothers and has been sitting in a garage for the past six years. The wheels had a few bad bends in them and it needed some TLC, but I got it for $1500 with 5,000 miles on it. I started by cleaning and red koting the tank, cleaning the carbs and going over everything. I picked up a set of Scrambler wheels for $300 and put some new Dunlops on. Got a cafe seat as well as new shocks, 520 chain and lightened sprockets, rotors and pads and little odds and ends. I have D&D 2 into 1 pipes and new jets to install after my airbox removal kit arrives. Can't wait to put a ton of miles on it

Yup 2001 it is. the average price that I've seen them go for by me is about $4500, so even though it needed work I still did good. He is moving from Ny to Georgia I believe so he just wanted to unload it before the move. A few years back I was interested in it and he wanted $3000, so playing the waiting game really worked out for me.

Nice- and the aftermarket has exploded for those bikes. You can pretty get whatever you want.

2001 is a good year.. better cams then later years and other stuff

the difference you will feel after you remove the OEM airbox and put pod filters on is HUGE!

you will get a whole "new" bike after doing that.. and the inlet sound is nice to!

i have the OEM service book and alot of other stuff on PDF´s.. just shout if you need any help info etc

cheers

...what an incredible deal man...

Hey Speedking, checking the picture, is it possible to put Amal MKII carbs on these engines?

thanks

Reverb-someone has done it already. I cant recall which forum I saw them on, but I do know someone has done it already.

I love Hinkley's! Here is the one I just finished and sold. Probably should have kept it, but that is my disease!

There's a good thread for "modern" triumphs. Good pics, styling ideas. Yours looks great.

Only bike I've ever bought new was a Hinkley Bonneville . Lovely bikes and I really like them . One of those bikes I regret selling . Congrats on the sweet deal

All done with the bike for now until my FCR carbs come. Bike is fun as hell to ride.
