1975 Was the year Triumph/Norton switched.



If I may, I think it was actually 1974. I got my first bike in 1977 and it was a second edition 1974 750cc (740-something cc) Bonneville (the first edition that year was 724cc) and the brake/gear shift setup was the "new (current)" way.
I beleive they had just switched that year.
