The frame number is usually on the right side ( clutch) on the down tube. The engine number same side just under the barrels. Should be embossed with the triumph logo so buyers know its not been restamped. But the stamps never were all that clever so don't let that put you of. Its a great bike at the right price. Don't get taken in by fairy stories. Look a few up and get a feel for the value.

Hi Marco and welcome to the forum all the best for your Bonneville purchase

 

Hello and welcome to the forum Marco.

 

Hi & Welcome to the Forum Marco

Not sure what you mean by a hexagon down tube. Ask him for a picture or two. It will need work and a fair bit of toil. Depending on how it was stored. Hopefully the carbs were drained if not will need a complete strip clean and refit. Rubbers may be perished likewise fork seals and hoses. As I say depending on the storage. If conisation was present you will probably find there is rust in the gearbox. Really its hard to give you a good explanation of the problems without seeing the bike. It really depend on how much you are getting the bike for and how much you want to spend on it. Really you need to get as many photos as possible and post them. Things again like brakes will be seized in all likely hood. The reservoirs will have to be stripped and rebuilt. If the bike has just stood then you may find the pistons are seized in the barrels and could have rust on the liners. It really is hard to try to help you without see the bike and knowing more history about it. But in the end if its what you want go for it. Yes to be worth anything it really needs to be matching numbers.
Regards.
Joe.

Hi mate and welcome

 

Hello Marco and welcome to the forum

Congratulations on buying the new bike

 

Hi and welcome.

 

MarcoB.
seems you have a little gem there. The previous owner seems to have looked after it well. Bars you can get there as quick as here in blighty. Places like your motorcycle superstore and you have so many classic British dealers. Keep the wheel rims if they are original with the stamps on them as you won't find them again. Before you do anything flush out all the oils and refresh. Drop a half capful down each plug hole just to ease things out or plus gas. Getting quite exiting now and want to watch the rebirth. If you feel like the challenge put it on the rebuilds section and let us follow you on your quest. You are now entering into the world of rebuilds and restorations. You will love or hate it. But it's rewarding. Let us all know because you will experience all moods with your machine. Hair pulling when it won't behave painful face grin when it talks to you but its worth every bit of pain. And in the end you can stand back and say I did this and its mine. Remember we are all behind you here and no question is silly or not worth asking.
Regards
Joe
