2024 Triumph Bonneville T120: A Tribute to Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley’s affection for Triumph motorcycles has led to the creation of a unique limited edition model—the 2024 Bonnie T120. This special edition, inspired by his legendary performances, features exclusive design elements, hand-painted details, unique emblems, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. With less than 1,000 units available globally, it’s a coveted piece for both Triumph and Elvis aficionados.
Elvis Presley’s connection to Triumph motorcycles began with the story of the Memphis Mafia. His first significant Triumph experience was with a T120 Bonneville 650, which delighted him so much that he ordered one for each member of his inner circle. This narrative has inspired the limited-edition 2024 Bonneville T120 Elvis Presley Edition, which carries forward this legacy with design cues from one of Elvis’ most iconic performances.
Recognizing the cultural impact of Elvis Presley, Triumph has partnered with Elvis Presley Enterprises to craft this special edition motorcycle. It not only boasts a striking visual appeal but also includes special items that will delight fans of both Triumph and Elvis.
Design Details: Homage to the Memphis Mafia
The Memphis Mafia Bonnevilles are a renowned collection of Triumph bikes, featuring a mix of 650 TR6s and 650 T120s, ordered by Elvis for his entourage. Today, these bikes are highly sought after yet rare. Triumph has even initiated a campaign urging anyone with information about these bikes to reach out.
The 2024 Bonneville T120 Elvis Presley Special Edition celebrates this legacy. It incorporates design themes from Elvis’ 1968 comeback special performance, marked by extensive use of red and black hues. The tank features a deep Carnival Red color inspired by a custom Bonnie that recently surfaced at an auction. Gold lettering mimicking stage lights spells out "Elvis" on the tank and side panels, capturing the essence of his performances. The front mudguard carries the "Taking Care of Business in a Flash" emblem, paying additional homage to Elvis.
Exclusive Features and Added Perks
- Color and Finish: The tank is adorned in vibrant Carnival Red with a contrasting aluminum silver stripe. Hand-painted gold stripes add a touch of elegance, and all chrome elements feature an improved finish for greater depth and detail.
- Personalized Touches: The handlebars are numbered and laser-etched with Elvis Presley’s signature, underscoring the bike’s exclusivity.
- Authenticity: Each bike comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Triumph CEO Nick Bloor and ABG Founder Chairman and CEO Jamie Slater.
