Nice colour..awesome sound..But u could have at least, for what its worth, shot the whole bike! Read some of ur replies to the comments above..man r u touchy!! No wonder u have disabled the ratings for this video. Relax bro.. no one's hatin u or ur bike!
This video is great; nice work! You've captured what it's like to ride a Triumph. They're wonderful machines. I've ridden many over the years. I hope to own both a Hinckley and a Meriden Bonneville some day.
now if you started reading this dont stop its really scarey!ok send this to five other videos in 143 minutes.When you are done press F6 and your crushes name will apear on the screen in big letters this is weird because it does work.If you break this chance you wont have a crush in the next five years
i feel better after watching this video,like i rode the bike myself and i express my respect for all the TRUE lovers of bikes who als viewed this...my next bike?
Wow this got a lot of views on it. It wasn't my best work by far- but I hope that it showed you guys how badass Triumphs are and that the new ones are just as beloved as the Meriden built ones. Go out and buy one!!
There are faster bikes out there, more reliable bikes out there, more versatile bikes out there...but I don't think anyone makes a better looking bike than Triumph, in my opinion.
I rode a Bonneville from coast to coast and just about everywhere in-between in 1969, putting on something like 30,000 miles. I never knew where I would be the next day. Great bike. The only problem was that that year had problem with a bad oil leak from the pushrod tubes. Even the O-ring replacement kit made to correct the problem didn't work. Otherwise, it was a great bike and I wish I still had it.
Don't want to get into an argument about triumph bikes as i have nothing but praise for them. I started on a 350cc T21 in 1967 and it never let me down over 5 years or so. I still ride a triumph (Speed Triple 955cc) and love it to bits. Had Japanese bikes but nothing I have ridden comes close to a triumph!
Kingfisher you are definitely a *anker my dad worked in the Meriden factory in '71 and '72 on the production line as an inspector - they churned out so much crap just to keep bikes going to the USA. Result was seized up gearboxes that got Triumph a bad name and then Honda launched the CB 750 - end of UK motorcycle industry. The Hinckley Triumphs may have imported parts but so what if you getting a better more reliable bike. If you are going to comment talk sense mate.
I rode a Bonneville from San Francisco down to LA on Highway 1 30 years ago; just incredible. This one no doubt has more power and doesn't vibrate as much. It had so much torque I hardly had to downshift in the tight turns. The acceleration and that growl is what makes this a real motorcycle; cool.
love the sound thanks... you know a standard bonnie from hinkley, from the traffic lights, will stay in front of a bmw m3? The look on the asian guys face when i did that! priceless!! bloody good bike....
That's the way to make a Scoot!,Scoot:>)I have an early model Triumph,Bonnieville 750,T-140V twin,Duell carb's Always looking for cheep factory parts! Go Fast or Ride in Style? I do Both.Thanks, cool Video.Jesse
I'm curious to know why you sold the Predators too in favor of Emgos. The Predators sound AWESOME. In fact, it's really making me want to swap my stock pipes for them on my Bonnie..
This is the most beautiful sounding bonneville I've heard. What all did you do to it? Just the Predators? When you say "custom predators" do you mean that there is something more custom about them than just being predators?
kingfisher grow a brain. those bonnies have a 360 degree crank pin. jap crap parallel twins have a 180 degree. My hinkley bonnie IS louder than anything but a harley and its hagon shocks mean it handles like god.
i aint ridden the new t100,but i agree with you the i learnt to ride on a "77" 140v jubilee,and since then hav owned a few bikes,my preferred bike is honda cbr.but find sometimes i hav to fight with it. the bonni feels so natural around conners,and handles awesomely.even tho vibration thru the peggs get 2 ya after a while.and handles i think much better than the T160.
Kingfisher you wouldn't know class if it jumped up and bit u my sun. The new Hinckley Triumphs are a damn sight better than anything built in the 60s or 70s. Don't be such a berk.
I've got both a Hinkley T100 Bonneville and a Meriden T140V 750cc Bonneville.
The T140V is a much better "rider's bike" and it sounds much better too.
As for the Hinley bonnies being better built? It's assembled in England from parts sourced from all over the globe. Italy, Japan, Spain Thailand, Malaysia, Korea, Brazil etc. etc. Not much if any of it is "Made in England"
I know what the fuck I'm talking about. I've owned Triumph motorcycles for 36 years.

This bike sounds great. Compare this 360 degree engine to the Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster vid. This won't let me post the link for some reason
