Post-Listing Update: This Triumph T120TT Special did not meet reserve at $7,700 despite 25 bids on eBay.
A race bike straight from the factory, the Triumph T120TT Special was stripped of weight and had an increase in performance. The model was the brainchild of Bill Johnson, the American west coast distributor – just 900 were built.
Thanks to high compression pistons, a hotter cam, and upgraded ignition, the T120TT produced 54 horsepower and pushed them through a close-ratio 4-speed transmission. The speedo, lights, and fork lock were removed, helping to take out 30 pounds from the base T120. Total weight was about 350 pounds. The fuel tank contained 2.5 gallons and was based on the Bonneville unit.
This specific Triumph T120TT has been slightly modified to enable it for stree usage, including the addition of lights, a speedo, Amal Premium carbs, and Boyer Brandson electronic ignition. Removed original parts are included in the sale, including the Amal Monoblocs, special one piece air box, high comp pistons, and NOS exhaust. It’s a shame that the compression was lowered to stock Bonnie specs, but it’s nothing a little time and elbow grease can’t fix.
