TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLES and guitar manufacturer Gibson have created together a special guitar and a special motorcycle for the Gentlemans Ride. The unique pieces will not be available for purchase.
The historical significance of the legendary 1959 Les Paul Standard and the iconic 1959 Bonneville T120 provided the inspiration for the design of the two special “1959 Legends” models now created. Triumph and Gibson want to support the Gentleman`s Ride, which is held annually to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer and mental health.
Triumph Boneville T120 – 1959 LEGENDS CUSTOM EDITION
The special edition model has been given a unique custom paint job to match the sunburst finish of the guitar, alongside this there is a Jet Black painted guitar neck on the tank. On the top, there is a pegboard design surrounded by hand-painted trim.
Galvanized emblems in metallic gold, bearing the words “Triumph Gibson 1959 Legends”, can be found on the tank, side fairings and front fender. The seat was made of brown genuine leather and visually matches the Gibson’s guitar case. It was finished with diamond stitching and also has pick holders.
The bike comes with a special certificate of the “1959 Legends” special editions and the signature of Triumph CEO, Nick Bloor, and Cesar Gueikian, Brand President of Gibson. The special models are not available for purchase. They are being offered as a premium for the highest donation to the Gentlemans Ride.
The Gentlemans Ride 2022 will take place in 900 cities worldwide on May 22. Official registration and fundraising begins on March 28.
