Triumph Bonneville Steve McQueen SE

This is almost like a brand new bike. It only has 307 original miles on it. I bought it with hopes of storing it for 30 years and then ride it. But then I realized there is an unbelievable amount of work involved in storing a bike for that long. Basically one would have to take apart most parts and store them in grease to ensure that nothing gets damaged by air contact for that many years. Long story short. I am not riding it and it has been sitting in my garage under a bike cover and attached to a battery tender. This is a serious collector's item as there are only 1100 of these bikes made in the world and only 300 were imported to USA in 2012. The price is firm. so please no haggling and no offers lower than the asking price. If I don't sell it. then I will go ahead with my original plan of storing it. So. serious inquiries only please. Thank you. You are responsible for picking up the bike or arrange for shipping. I do not accept credit card payments. If you choose to pay through PayPal. you must pay with your bank account. Again. no credit card payments will be accepted through PayPal. Thank you. The first 3 pictures are not of my bike.
