    I have owned this Bonny for several months and after some personal tweeking I like it. Old style class with no drips or fuss. I have a stable of bikes and most often jump on this "little gem" for short easy trips in the 55mph to 65mph range of speed. I have owned 219 motorcycles icluding 58 harleys and 30 goldwings and 25 of the old English in 45 years and this bonny stacks up very well. I will add another new Triumph soon. Go for it bro's.

    motorcycling the way it was always meant to be. restore the essence of freedom with a true brit icon of classic retro styling merged with modern technology. a truly innovative package that has the ability to appeal to a broad spectrum of age groups. guaranteed to put a smile on the face of any motorcycling enthusiast. even hard core sports jockeys will appreciate the genuine high quality of the bonnie. truly delightful.

    Like many, I am a returning rider well into my 50's, and having owned 2 Bonnies back in the 70's and 80's, I can say that the 2009 T100 version is a huge improvement and a great bike. Smooth pulling and much better top-end; great handling, and just a hint of vibration to remind of the older machines. The only disappointment is the exhaust note which is pretty feeble compared with the old Bonnie "roar". I would have thought Triumph could do better despite the tough emissions regulations.

    I am new to motorcycling. Last week I passed my test (Direct Access) yesterday I bought a Triumph Bonneville T100 865cc straight out of the showroom. I also rode one yesterday for the first time. All I can say it was wonderful. Everything worked smoothly, the handling was superb. I felt as if I had finally arrived in the world of motorcycling. I can understand why many of the reviews say this is the greatest bike ever made. I am proud to own a triumph and be part of British motorcycle history. I ...

    I bought my black and gold Triumph Bonneville T100 865cc, 2006 model at one year old, 420 miles on the clock. She has fork gaiters, a GIVI 660 screen, heated bars, tank knee pads, centre stand, a thunderbird seat and rear rack with grab rail. All were fitted by the original owner and included in the trade-in for my Transalp.
    Being 54 years old, had bikes since 14, passed my advanced test, currently also owning a 72 Daytona and MT 350 Harley, having done several cross continent rides, owned ...

    I love everything about my 2008 Triumph Bonneville t100 efi.It handles well, the brakes are fine and i love the sound of engine (with the after market exhausts of course!)

    This bike is probably the most pleasing one i have owned, its so easy to ride, very comfortable if you are over 50 like me! I cant for the life of me see why anyone wants to squeeze more power out of one, cos i find it hard to hang on at 105!
    Its a real head turner too even the kids love it.10/10

    Ridden over 13K km.s: it's reliable and has good brakes, but find the rear suspension and seat far too harsh compared to my other bikes. It should sound like a motorcycle of its heritage: a British Twin. Swapping exhausts is expensive when it could be an affordable option at purchase time. Triumph's "off road" exhausts are NOT adequate. Nearly useless on the highway without more horse power or a sixth gear. Around town watch out for road irregularities or risk your spine. Warning lights by the s ...

    This is the most pleasure I have had out of a bike in 25 years. So far I have found nothing to complain about - other than the lack of summer to get out more often.
    Very easy to ride and very forgiving if you mess-up.

    The bike is a Carte Blanche, as standard it needs some mods and tweeks to get it right. Some items are too retro to be practical, Ignition switch relocation to between clocks where it should be, removal of Air injection, less restrictive exhausts and rejetting, Fit Ikon or Hagon shocks with front progressive springs, no mainstand, fiddly 1970s steering lock, There are plenty of aftermarket bits to spruce up your Bonny if you are prepared to dig deep in the pockets.

    I enjoy riding my Truimph Bonneville especially after I changed the pipes it now sounds like a Truimph, beautiful sound that turns heads particularly old heads. The bike is easy to ride, handles well, the disc brakes are adequate, although a 2nd disc on the front wheel would increase the stopping power when the bike is push hard. The finish on the bike is very good from the paint work to the quality of the chrome.

    My buddies ride Harleys and Japanese cruisers. They like to log the miles. We ran a five day run averaging around 600kms a day. The Triumph kept pace the whole way. This is "the best motorcycle in the world".

    I love my 2006 British Triumph Bonneville T-100 with nice powerful 865 cubic is well enough for small design bike. I always go back cruisin' my shiny red/black bike to work and proud of it every day.

    Eliminating the Airbox, fitting the carbs with slip on filters, fitting a free flowing exhaust and rejetting the carbs (42 pilot, 148 main, 1 shim on the needle) will greatly increase rear wheel horsepower and give the bike much more midrange punch.
    Fitting the suspension with good aftermarket shock absorbers will greatly inhance the Bonnie's handling characteristics.

    I bought a Triumph Bonneville (Hinckley) after several years of Jap ownership, unfortunately I bought a dud, the gear box failed after 200 miles, the fuel tap would not turn off, the twist grip would not close , all these issues were settled as were the rear shocks in line with a company recall, this bike has been ridden daily for last 15 months and with a total of 9200 miles the exhaust valves burnt out, Triumph deny that it was the fault of the secondary air injection, but if you own the model ...

    This bike is in the same time very predictable and as a old Bonneville fan, I was expecting some true motorcycling fun and feeling plus the adrenaline expected
    Its true that every time your bike is parked there is a somebody to ask questions... and all the time you will tell, how you really enjoy her ride...

    I was tossing up between a Harley Sportster, A Jap mid size cruiser and the triumph. Kept going back to the Bonneville T100 865cc for the easy riding nature. Looks fantastic. It has its own character. The Jap bike was trying to be a Harley, The Harley Sporster was trying to be a grown up harley. The Triumph stood alone. Great for the city and sweeping back roads alike. Can't get enough of it.
