I just bought one a few weeks ago. I agree with all your comments. The only observation I would add is that it has remarkable low speed balance as well. For a 500lb. Bike, it never feels it unless you are pushing it around the garage. U-turns must be easier on this than any bike I have ridden. Great handling on the backroads.

@CoilBoyRunning 10 месяцев назад

100%. First day riding the t100 I was doing perfect u turns and curves. Coming from an R1 I can’t tell you how much resentment I built towards the bike because it always felt heavy. I could do all the slow speed maneuvers but it just didn’t feel smooth. My current t100 is just all around a clean ride.

A beautiful classic bike which would look great in the beautiful village of Chillingbourne.

@tedsalmon2533 Год назад

I ride a 2020 t120 and absolutely love it! The tube wheels are a drag though. Flat tires are a real challenge

@tedsalmon2533 Год назад

@overlander123 I've had two punctures in 8000 miles. Not terrible really but the two happened 20 miles apart! The first resulted in a destroyed tire.

@stevebolton8471 Год назад

The latest revision of the 900HT engine is superb. Together with the slipper clutch the bike feels effortless.

Oh that’s a lovely paint finish

@gavshields83 Год назад

Great review as always. Would love to see you review the Speed Twin 900 - same engine of course but quite different to ride.

@simonbowen6653 Год назад

I've got a 2018 "59" edition T100. Had to change the stock seat for the comfort seat but otherwise just perfect.

@stevebolton8471 Год назад

Which comfort seat? AFAIK the Triumph comfort seat is the stock seat.

@@stevebolton8471 Copied from the Triumph Direct Website. Seat Comfort Touring Black/White Original A2310736 Triumph Bonneville T100/T120 Comfort seat A2310736. The stock seat on my 2018 is smooth, and uncomfortable. The Official Triumph Comfort Seat, Product code: A2310736, is ribbed with 3D mesh. Unfortunately it does not come as standard.

@GaryJohnWalker1 Год назад

Type of bike I frequently reckon would sought me fine, decent looking, feel good to own, easy going but adequate performance and more usable than most hyper nakeds. Bit expensive. But that new 400 might do the job nearly as well and as a biggish single no shenanigans needed to give its engine character. And cheaper.

@serious_in_seattle6917 Год назад

I would love one of these. The styling is awesome. But I also want a Speed Twin 900 since I’m really short. I think I will want one of the new Triumph Speed 400s, too. I already have a BMW F750GS. So many nice motorcycles, so little money. Oh, and I want a Royal Enfield Hunter 350, too! I test rode one this past weekend and was so fun and flickable. I felt like a kid again and it had plenty of power for the freeway. There are a few Japanese bikes I want too 😅

@coleythailand999 Год назад

Great review For touring. I have ridden in Thailand on the T120 for many tours of 1 to 4,000 kilos. The sports comp tyres are not good. Thanks for your work 😊

@MsDenver2 Год назад

Off road you would reck it and it’s such a great bike

@zteburner5882 Месяц назад

Noticed that all new T100 do not have fork covers as they used to in the past or like the T120 still does.

@nickaxe771 Год назад

Bought my T100 brand new in 2020.....done 5000mls now....love it more every time I ride it. Made several mods to mine to hopefully look even more old school....nothing drastic. Looks just how a motorcycle should look to me. To be honest....and I know all our tastes are different.....but I would have not bought a T100 when I did if they had only sold them with black rims.....I dont know what triumph where thinking. I love my chrome spoked rims.... Great review.

@alexanderirwin7271 Год назад

I had a mad moment and traded my T100 for a Beemer, the Beemer is very good and I can understand why there is so many on the roads but with in a couple of months I regretted it. 4 years latter Good bye Beemer hello Bonnie.

@splodge5714 Год назад

Good review of what in my opinion is by far the best retro classic bike. Shame about tube tyres.

@KJRS3001 Год назад

I have a 21 plate Street Twin 900, pretty much same bike. For any other owners, those Pirelli Phantom’s are poor tyres and probably the reason for the handling issue Dan. I fitted Avon Roadrider and took all those issues away. New bikes come with Michelin Classes now.

@mindspinn311 10 месяцев назад

Not sure why this version still comes with the Pirellis. The other T100 and T120 models come with the Michelin Road Classic which is far superior.

@MrAndrew1953 Год назад

Tubed tyres is taking retro a bit far. I owned an 82 Tiger. One of the last twins available. I would add a handlebar fairing and top box as I have on my CB500F. One of these with the blue tank would very nice to chill out on,even on a cold 🥶 day.

@genegoodwin8925 Год назад

I love the name Bonneville, I also love the looks and the sound. I do wish it had a chrome exhaust system and shiney wheels instead of black rims. My wife always rides with me so the passenger seat and the ride is very important to me. Currently we ride a Harley that rides like a dump truck and we both hate it. So, I ask you how well does the rear suspension handle bumps in the road, like pot holes, seams and other imperfections in the balck top? My other question is how many rpm does it run at 60 mph? Dies it feel relaxed or busy at 60 mph? Thank you for this video, it is nice to see somebody riding a Bonneville. Ride safe and enjoy every journey.

@barrystott60 Год назад

I'VE HAD MINE SINCE THE END OF FEBRUARY . Although a very good bike and i commute every day , it's been in the workshop three times now , apparently the O2 sensors keep failing , hence the management light coming on . Not the start i wanted for a new bike , with less then 2000 miles on the clock .

@Retirement_Life Год назад

Great review of a modern day classic. 👏👏👏

@Simulera 5 месяцев назад

This sort of paint scheme is interesting, I think I like it. Maybe… But I really like the T100’s scale of a bike. Needs 6th with a slightly larger rear sprocket, like one tooth maybe two. It would transform what is already a very nice riding bike’s riding experience in a simple but great way. As it is, it is very good of course. But that level bike is a crowded field. Very good review!

@GunCollector007 9 месяцев назад

Beautiful

@runumadevi7626 8 месяцев назад

Try the T120 aswell

@davidmacgregor5193 Год назад

The colour scheme looks like the original 1959 "Tangerine Dream" Bonneville. 64hp isn't a lot from a 900cc motor, my 1980 Benelli 900 produces 80hp.

@Englishbikerdan Год назад

It's an understressed motor but the torque is the highlight for me.

@richardplantagenet8090 7 месяцев назад

It's the old Gulf Oil racing colours.

@meshplates Год назад

Is the speed twin 900 is the same bike minus some chrome and spoke wheels? Seems like a better choice. Tubeless tires, alloy wheels and more understated vintage vibes.

@joescully648 Год назад

Hi Dan, loved the video! A bit random but I saw your modifications video for your old cb650r and was wondering if after installing the full sc project exhaust system did you do any tuning? Like an ecu flash, dyno or getting a piggyback ecu like a power commander. Cheers!

You tubers talk service intervals, but never wether the valve jobs are shim or lock nuts. I guess they dont know. Its usefull information for those that know what a spanner looks like.

@Englishbikerdan Год назад

No I don't know, I would have guessed most are shims, but it's not a job I would do anyway. If you enjoy that sort of work, I am sure there's a video/forum that can help you.

@togglehead9738 Год назад

They are shims but relatively simple as you don't need to remove the cam. I think only Royal Enfield are old style lock nut but intervals are a lot shorter, only 20k on the triumph.

@skaraborgcraft Год назад

@@togglehead9738 No biggie if you can live without the bike for a time. My nearest Triumph dealer is over400km away, and probably does not even have shims in stock. I can do a 4 valve adjustment on my current bike in 30 mins. Looks like the new Himalayan will have shims too.......that will have an effect on some buyers.

T100 = 500cc with twin carbs, T120 = 650cc with twin carbs. The T120 is the bonneville. I’ll accept T120R for the Thruxton model and even T140 for a 750cc version, But T100 is most definitely not a bonneville.
