1976 Triumph Bonneville 750

Inspector Findings:

I noticed that the tires are from the same brand and have good tread depth. Both wheels have corrosion, and there are some minor scratches around the vehicle, which is typical for its age. The paint has wear and chips, which is also expected with age. Additionally, there's surface rust on the engine, crankcase cover, swing arm, muffler, and chains. The chrome also has some pitting.

The seat has a couple rips that were patched. The grips shows wear.

I observed that the bike doesn't run, and there's no battery, so I couldn't test the electrical system. The wires that should be connected to the spark plug is missing. The gas cap doesn't fit the tank properly. I noticed oil seepage on the engine and crankcase, suggesting a need for cleaning and further inspection to identify the source of the leak or leaks. The brake rotors are displaying signs of surface rust.
