While The King of Rock might be long dead, his legacy has lived on quite vibrantly. Among the things still bearing his name is the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation which will be auctioning off this custom 2024 Triumph T120 Bonneville at Amelia Island along with a matching Gibson Les Paul guitar.
1954 Ferrari Tip 625 Monoposto with quite the pedigree heads to auction.
As you probably already know, Elvis loved to ride motorcycles, even mounting up and riding a few during the filming of certain iconic movie scenes. He was known to love Triumphs, especially his silver Bonneville T120-TT Desert Sled features in Stay Away Joe.
That’ why this modern bike is a fitting tribute to the late musician. Not only does his signature and likeness adorn the fenders and fuel tank, it’s the spiritual successor to his beloved. It has a throwback look, thanks to the ’68 Comeback Special design language, adding to the period-correct nature of the motorcycle.
Both the Triumph and the guitar were customized using a design done by J Daar, an award-winning motorcycle artist. The project was undertaken as a collaboration with Triumph and Gibson, with both companies donating the products to be auctioned together in a single lot.
These one-of-a-kind Elvis tributes are perfect for any fan, whether they ride a motorcycle or not. After all, plenty of people display custom motorcycles, even inside their home, as a unique conversation piece which will appreciate in value over time.
This Elvis Presley-themed Triumph T120 Bonneville and the Gibson Les Paul guitar will be auctioned off by Bonhams during its event at the Amelia Island Auction, which will be held at the Fernandina Golf Club on February 29, with a preview earlier that day as well as on the day before.
