Triumph unveils a Bonneville tribute to Elvis Presley

Celebrating the Rock n’Roll icon, Triumph Motorcycles has unveiled a stunning limited edition Bonneville T120 Elvis Presley.

Elvis Presley was a true motorcycle enthusiast, a hardcore rider who appreciated the freedom that motorcycles could offer when his Rock Star life increasingly confined him to isolation. In 1965, the King even purchased about ten motorcycles from the Triumph dealer in Santa Monica, which he gifted to each of his close friends so that the joyful bunch could enjoy rides in the California hills. These were the happy hours for those who referred to themselves as the “Memphis Mafia.”

It was only fitting that the brand pay tribute to its ambassador with a very limited series. Combining authentic style, modern performance, and particularly meticulous customization, this T120 is inspired by Elvis’s most iconic performance, the “Comeback Special” of 1968.

The Bonneville T120 Elvis Presley Limited Edition features a dual dial instrument cluster, with an analog speedometer, tachometer, and, conceding to modernity, an integrated multifunction LCD screen. The historic 3-bar tank badge and the machined engine fins pay homage to the iconic Bonneville of 1959.

The 1200cc twin-cylinder engine delivers a maximum torque of 105 Nm at a very low RPM of 3500. Its power peaks at 80 hp at 6,550 RPM. Thanks to its modern liquid cooling system, the engine meets EURO 5 requirements. The motorcycle features a comfortable and low dual seat with a height of just 790 mm for rides set to the King’s hits. The latest-generation ABS with floating two-piston Brembo front calipers and 310 mm discs ensures confident braking, while the ABS and traction control maximize safety and control.

This edition is limited to only 925 motorcycles worldwide. Each unit is numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity housed in a gold disc. It will cost just under 17,000 euros to acquire a Triumph Bonneville T120 Elvis Presley, but act fast as fewer than 100 units will be distributed in France.
