– 2003 Triumph Bonneville T100
Bonneville T100
If ever a model epitomised the true core of traditional motorcycling, it’s surely the Bonneville. Now Triumph has added another layer to the basic experience with a fully-equipped road-burner in the racy style of the sixties speedster – the T100.
Built on the timeless lines of the Bonneville, but sporting the twin top-yoke-mounted instruments that true traditionalists crave, the T100 also features rubber knee-grips on a two-tone finished fuel tank. To add that extra dimension of unashamed extravagance, the engine covers are finished in lustrous chrome for a modern take on that full-on café-racer flavour.
Powered by the same specification engine as the more basic Bonneville and running the same sweet-handling chassis, the T100 expands the massively popular Triumph twin range yet further and adds another distinctive styling option for the discerning rider.
Beyond that, the T100, in Goodwood Green with Gold infill, or in classic Sapphire Blue with White infill and Red coachline, ensures another great model from Triumph’s illustrious ‘ton-up’ past rides again in style.
