Good Points: I have few good points of that British bike. Good on gas, better control design on curves and winding narrow roads like in England. Good looking and nice bike almost exactly way back to 70's. I love this bike.
Bad Points: seems not much to say right now but sometimes hard to start below 40 degrees at nights, I wish to have a footkick on bike so I can start with it.
General comments: 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.

I am really very happy with the Triumph Bonneville, having ridden scooters (Vespa T5) for the last 9 years, this bike is the perfect step up to a bigger bike, excellent ride comfort, I rode 200 miles on the first day, performance as others have mentioned is not superbike quality. Some class the new Bonnie as a sports tourer but I think it is more of a retro tourer.
If you like the look of it, buy it!

After not riding a motorcycle for thirty years, at age 66 I decided to "get back into it". I had last ridden a Triumph in 1976 and liked it so decided to try one again. My longest ride in one day is 675 miles with no adverse effects on these "middle aged" bones. To accomplish this, whenever I stopped for gas I would eat a light snack, drink water and do some stretching exercises. I could have rode longer but didn't want to wind up in an area without a motel.

The Triumph Bonneville is a thing of beauty. As soon as you sit on it in the show room, you feel warmth rising from the machine. I have ridden the originals in the 70s/80s. This machine revives the soul, without the eccentricities. The brakes work well. The rear break works a little too well, locking up in heavy breaking. The handling is good, but with the relatively thin tyres, ribs in the road surface are transmitted, sometimes disturbingly to the rider in hard bends. It's not a speed machine, ...

Great Bike, reminds me of my '75 Trident. Not as quick as modern bikes but a great relaxed ride.
I can't get enough of it! Get depressed if I can't go for a ride if the suns shining!
Seem to be plenty of after market extras to customise the Bonnie with.

Fast. 1960s retro look. Modern technology. Corners very well and has good central balance. I feel its very good value for money as most of the Triumphs are, a smooth quite ride with a faint whistle, sounds great.
It's a winner style and attitude, as cool as the other side of a pillow

Good machine for those who like retro.
Low seat suitable for riders a bit short in the leg and a nice steady mount though not everyones "cup of tea"
865cc engine provides adequate power but does not blow your mind when wound on and has a little vibration in the higher r.p.m range.
T100 version well overpriced especially when centre stand, chrome chain guard and valve cover have to be purchased seperately.

My Triumph Bonneville T100 865cc is the best motorcycle I've ever owned or driven. It's smooth, fast, fun and perfect for putzing around the streets of Denver on warm summer evenings or in the foothills during the days. The color of my T100 is white and tangerine, it's an eye catcher. It has the retro appearance of the 60s Bonneville, and craftsmanship. Excellent corning characteristics.
