    Hi everybody,
    I'm from France and I just purchased a beautiful Triumph Bonneville T120 (1967).
    The motorcycle was located in the UK (pivate seller), and it was just delivered (small shipping company from the UK) in France Yesterday.
    The bike is a UK bike first registered in November 1967.
    The restoration was carried out by the previous owner including an engine rebuild.He has had the fuel tank and side panels professionally painted and overhauled the carburettors.
    The engine runs well. I'm really satisfied.

    Importing this Triumph to France was really easy. No issue with the UK and french customs.
    Only VAT to pay, due to the Brexit.

    Here are some photos :

    beautiful machine. are those premier carburetors? will save you some issues if they are.
