The young millennials may not be aware of his aura but back in the 60s and 70s, Elvis Presley was one of the biggest pop sensations ever to come out. An entire generation swooned to his music which are still considered classics. Triumph, paying homage to the legendary singer, has introduced a new special edition model dedicated to Presley.
Triumph recently unveiled a limited edition Bonneville T120 which commemorates the legacy of Elvis Presley. Limited to just 925 units worldwide, this new Elvis Presley Edition of Bonneville T120 is inspired by the artist’s ‘Comeback Special’ performance from 1968. As a result, it gets plenty of unique visual aesthetics over the standard T120.

For starters, the tank is adorned with golden coloured ‘ELVIS’ lettering on the fuel tank. Accentuating its unique identity is the signature of the singer on the tank as well as side panels. All these details in addition to the Bonneville tank stripes in Aluminum Silver beautifully complement the striped mudguards featuring hand-painted gold line detailing.
The classic twin peashooter exhaust mufflers have been laced in dark chrome. The handlebar clamp reads a unique number laser-etched with the ‘Elvis Presley’ signature. Further, the front fender highlights ‘Taking Care of Business in a Flash’ emblem, reminiscing another monumental success in Presley’s illustrious career.
This limited edition Bonneville T120 is wrapped in a custom Carnival Red colour scheme which is inspired by the J Daar custom Bonneville created to raise money for the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation in 2023. Each unit of this limited-run Bonneville T120 comes with an exclusive Elvis Presley and Triumph Motorcycles record sleeve along with the certificate of authenticity, signed by Triumph’s CEO Nick Bloor and Jamie Salter, founder of ABG, Elvis Presley Enterprises.
