“Triumph Still Carries The Torch”

Written on: 25/03/2013 by cessnaguy (1 review written)

I have owned several different bikes, as well as a older 60's Triumph Bonnie 650. I recently purchased the 2013 Triumph Bonnie and not disapointed. The vibration has all been eliminated, and the acceleration with the fuel injection is outstanding, even in top gear. With my wife and I, I have had no problem with passing even at 60mph plus speeds when cracking the throtle. T just went thru the 500 mile check up and all was fine. Only problem is with the angle of attack of the front forks... (read more)

“2012 Triumph Bonneville T100 - Black”

Written on: 01/03/2013

Just love it....... Make sure to get the performance pipes and it sound and looks fantastic as the black special. Just had first service 1000km and no problems. Great finish detail and with ultra predictable manners on road. Never a race bike like my previous Hondas - old world style with modern EFI reliability - but just getting on it gives you a smile EVERY day ! (read more)

Purchased a 2nd hand (2,000k's on clock), Triumph T100 Bonneville (2011) in October 2011 colour Black/white with gold coach lines. Admittedly the previous owner had already removed the air box and fitted new air filters, as well as after market Arrow exhauts and also Exhaust guards, which cover the blueing effect on the exhaust manifold, thus keep the pipes looking chrome.

“Great Retro Bike!”

Written on: 17/11/2012 by sherbs1 (1 review written)

Purchased a 2009 off the showroom floor, now it is 2012 and I can report not a single problem with the bike. I have updated the front brake to get away from the plastic sample cup and replaced the seat with a oem solo seat which gives a much better ride. For me this is a bike right out of the early 70's without any of the mechanical issues of that eras bikes. It does ride like that eras bike but handles at higher speeds much better. If I were to ever wear this bike out I would buy another one! (read more)

“Not Just A Nostalgia Trip”

Written on: 20/09/2012 by BardofWenlock

I've ridden bikes since the age of 14 and had a bike in garage since then. After a lifetime ( I'm now 63) on bikes including Race reps, screaming two strokes, Vrods, Super motards and tourers I had a Triumph 865 Scrambler 2007 carb version some three years ago. On a whim I swapped it for a Kawasaki Versys in January this year. The Versys was a great bike but I missed the Triumph and bought a new Bonneville with the limited edition black and red paintwork from Triumph Birmingham last month.... (read more)

I will celebrate 50 years of riding large displacement motorcycles in a couple years. I have owned race bikes but find them impractical for long comfortable rides. For that you need either a large or medium size all round Road Bike. A proper Road Bike is confidence inspiring at any speed from parking lot crawl to high speed touring on the highway. For this purpose I find the 2007 Bonneville T100 an exceptional all rounder. Mine is a shiny black one with torch red racing stipes hand... (read more)

I bought this as a 60th birthday present in 2007 but did not retire properly until 2009 so it has been idlng in the garage since then. We have ventured out a few times but I find the seat height and weight somewhat terrifying even though I had a Z1100A Kawasaki in 1983 and loved that.

Brilliant bike let down by plank seat and hard suspension. If you like classic styling with air cooled looks and the elusive grin factor then the T100 Bonnie is the bike for you. Looking around my local dealer this one jumped out at me. Fitted with an Arrow stainless two into one the classic 60's styling just hit the spot and the exhaust note is glorious without being too loud. Now run in, handling is far too harsh with no suspension adjustment except preload at the rear. Even the softest... (read more)

Hi, I bought a new T100-60 in March, from Fowlers of Bristol. It came with a certificate and so should have yours. Try contacting your dealer and get them to obtain a certificate from Triumph. I presume your bike has a numbered plaque between the handlebar clamps. Kind regards, Angie

I've been a biker since the early 70's and finally sold my trusty 1956 Speed Twin and swapped for a modern triumph. Now I can think why I waited so long - this bike is brilliant. Certainly not the fastest new bike but fast enough to put a big grin on your face every time you ride it.
Classic looks with brakes that work, lights that work and great handling. I bought mine second hand with very low mileage, and I'm chuffed to bits with it. (read more)

Bonneville Sixty no 520. Quite brilliant piece of engineering art. You know this will need looking after....but that is part of the joy. To not look after a Bonneville T100 is a little like neglecting a kitten.......cruel! This bike won't rip your arms out of their sockets, but it is strong, solid and progressive. They are also probably one of the prettiest bikes ever made.....and the sixty paint scheme is probably the best ever. These bikes are a proper investment. (read more)

I was born in 54 and grew up loving the looks of British twins. But I rode Hondas because of their superior reliability. The new Bonnevilles are the best looking vertical twins ever and they are as reliable as Hondas.

I have always liked quiet exhaust and the T100's pipes whisper. The rear shocks were hard on my back at first but seem to have broken in.

I'm really pleased with my Bonnie T100, it does everything it should with no fuss and in all weathers. It starts first prod on the starter, doesn't burn or leak oil, holds the road and handling is effortless. The rear shocks are a bit harsh. The brakes whilst not outstanding are more than up to the job. The rear brake took a bit of getting used to early on as its quite easy to lock up if you're not thinking. The gearbox is a delight, one of the best I've come across. The bike's no racer, but... (read more)

Written on: 22/01/2011

Hi. I'm in love with this bike and I will buy it very soon.
<br/>The only thing that worries me is that comment I saw in some reviews like yours, about the rare break that is easy to lock up and I'm wondering, how easy can that be if you don't push the bike to the limit?
<br/>Becasue all bikers know when you wanna reduce speed, especially in sudden situations, your foot goes first to the rear break and the front follows in a time about a second or less.
<br/>
<br/>Can something like this happens also in a speed of 80-100 kilometers?

In the early days I did find the rear brake a bit harsh, whether I've got used to it or the brake has bedded in I dont know. Either way breaking is not a problem. The bike is used in all weathers and is still going strong.

I am a new rider, aged 47. I took my MSF course this past September and started looking at bikes. Being 6'2" I found many of the Japanese bikes to be too short in the seat. I was also underwhelmed with the HD Sportster. I was reading forums and opinions on a good first bike for taller riders and came upon the suggestion of a Triumph Bonneville. What a great suggestion it was!

I found a nice low mileage used one at a dealer, an '07 with 2300 miles on it. Perfect it seemed for a first bike... (read more)

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.

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.

I've had my Bonnie T100 for 3 months and have ridden 2300 miles on it so far. There's no reason anyone should have an issue with this bike on the highway unless they are vastly overweight or accustomed to the 100+ HP sport bikes. I havent been bold ebough to do the ton, but I've had it up to 90 and it still felt strong. I typically travel the highways at 75-80 MPH and thats faster than the law would like you to go in most places I know of.

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... (read more)

I bought the Chrome chain Gard...No Centre stand is very mean of Triumph not to include it as its an important integral part of the Bike.....Its still a great looker and smooth ride.... I feel it is as fast as i would ever need.

“My Triumph Bonneville T100 865cc is the best...”

Written on: 10/09/2006 by Masaccio (1 review written)

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. (read more)
