After a Moto Guzzi V7, Lionel goes for a Dandy Bonnie

For his second motorcycle, Lionel had faith in BAAK’s skills to build his dream Triumph Bonneville T120. A machine that perfectly suits his mind and completes his garage : the Dandy Bonnie.

Lionel’s Moto Guzzi V7 Bobber is one of the first machines built by our workshop. The meeting with Lionel at the start of this first project marks the beginning of a mutual trust relationship between this hedonist and our team. Since then, his weekly visits at the workshop made him want more and more to own another BAAK build. He wanted this new motorcycle to be less radical than the first one, in a pure chic classic spirit.

The new Triumph Bonneville T120 is more skillful than the Moto Guzzi V7, and has an aesthetic that is the perfect base for a backdating project. This Dandy Bonnie is discreet, you can enjoy it spending time staring at each of its details. It mixed brushed aluminium and stainless steel parts, with black leather ones.

It was lowered by 20mm, equipped with aluminium wheels, strongly lightened, his handling has nothing to do with the one of the original T120. The front end has been upgraded with a classic speedometer inserted in the headlight, machined aluminium handlebar controls put on our wide BAAK N°1 bars, Kustom Tech black levers, etc. Finally, the short leather seat kit, the tiny mudguards and our Bobber exhaust clearly stands out from the standard Bonneville look, among other BAAK stuff.
