It was the year 1956 when the Triumph ridden by Texan racer, Johnny Allen, set the first of many land speed records across the Bonneville Salt Flats. Johnny managed to crank up a speed of 214.4 miles per hour on both passes making it an official land speed record for a motorcycle.

This is where the inspiration for the classic styled Triumph Bonneville. East Coast Motorcycles would like to invite you to the launch and fun evening where they will introduce you to the Bonneville T214 limited edition, of which only 1000 models have been manufactured.
