Triumph Bonneville (2000-current)

Triumph aimed the Bonneville like an arrow straight at the heart of Harley’s 883 Sportster. With a heritage to rival the Yank’s and a better riding performance the Triumph Bonneville is unquestionably the better motorcycle. The handling is more than respectable, the brakes markedly better and, of course, it’s British.

Bonneville gallery

Er...pic 2 looks like a 1950's pre unit Bonny, while pic 4 is a 1960's machine. This probably says more about my age and anorak ownership than anything else.

Wrong bikes

Pics three and four are now Meriden Bonnevilles. Get a grip, you shower!

Owner's veiwpoint

I have a Hinkley T100 865cc and a Meriden T140v 750cc.

The Meriden wins hands down.

The Hinkley is HEAVY and it is not on a par with the T140 in the tight, bumpy,twisty stuff, and let's be truthfull here, that's where the fun is to be had...in the twistys.

790cc Bonneville

Having owned a series of bikes over the last 12 years includung a couple of 1200 Bandits, a 1200  Harley sportster and 1584cc Dyna Glide, a Hayabusa and a BMW 1150GS a health issue made it important I down-size so the little Bonnie was bought second hand in March and following a short period of getting used to the size and [relative] lack of power compared to my previous bikes I now love the thing and would be lothed to part with it [altho a 1050 speed tripple could be a bike that would.lol] anyhow, the Bonneville.......... a great little bike, fun to ride, easy to chuck about and makes a great sound thru its Triumph aftermarket pipes [sounds almost like my old 68 Meriden Bonnie I had all those years ago].

Downsized from a BMW GS 1200 now that Im getting a bit older and just love my 2011 T100. My two gripes are 1. Why fit bars that cannot take the Oxford heated grips and 2. A bit of a shock to realise the T100 is not made at Hinkley but in Thailand.

Out of date review

C'mon MCN. This review is hopelessly out of date, you can show that you actually check out the content of discussions by doing an up to date review on an injection Bonnie soon. Or is it in the too hard box???

You've been showing a 1960s Bonnie in pic 3 for over 5 years now. Still,  it's better looking than the Hinckley gut bucket. Lard in motion (just).
