  • 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

  • Man, one day im going to own one of those beautyful things

    : D

  • 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!

  • Great color of the gas tank, British Customs pipe sound invigorating! Do the exhaust pipes give the Bonnie more power?

  • Comment removed

  • I love the sound and the color of this bike.

  • Did you get that chrome tank trim from Bellacorse by any chance?

  • This is hilarious!

  • sounds great!

  • The preds sound great. Better than my TORs. Too bad Triumph were so tight arsed that they didn't even put a tacho on the thing.

  • a damn fine exhaust note...wow

  • Music to the ears!!

  • Sounds awesome.

  • DIOOOOOS! Me encanta(L)

  • A really peachey speedo as well. Wasn't it pretty?

  • The bike has a gorgeous exhaust note.

  • I listen to this when I can't sleep,...It is like my Mum singing the sweetest Lullaby

  • yup, 2001

  • Is yours a 2001 Bonneville? If so, that means the Predators fir the 01 model! Yesss!!!

  • i love bonneville's

  • 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.

  • Just curious, I noticed the chrome strip that goes down the top of the tank. Where did you get that?

  • Pretty sound. That's a Motorcycle!

  • Excellent sound! Eery vid though - I felt like I was riding the bike, and badly wanted to look up!

  • I just LOVE that sound!

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah, this is a lot of fun . . . watching 3 minutes of a closeup of a speedometer as the asphalt underneath speeds by. Wow!

  • lol, alright Martin Scorcese.

  • I love Bonnevilles! What exactly is the "British Exhaust"?

  • which exhaust do u have?

    nice sound;)

  • 'Google "NEW BONNEVILLE RIDERS"'

    Don't Google it, its a gun appreciation site.

  • Bonneville for life...wonderful!

  • exxelente sound !

  • OMG,I love Bonneville.

  • Google "NEW BONNEVILLE RIDERS"

  • Could listen to that sound all day! Good clip

  • Hi, just logged in to tell you your bike sounds fantastic.

    She looks like fun.

    - Kevin

  • Yeah, this is a Bike!!

  • What year is your Bonnie? I have an '08 Black Bonnie!

    I am curious also...on the tank it says "Bonneville". Did you add that or is it factory? Is it a decal?

  • Horsepower Profiles. Com

    Brag A Little

  • and maybe you should get a day job instead of looking at videos all day loser.

  • HAHAHA NICE

  • 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?

  • I usually wait about 2 minutes after turning to cancel my signal too....

  • heh,sounds just like 150cc samurai :)

  • Nice! I myself have a 1968 TR6C Triumph Trophy. These are the best bikes around!

  • The exhausts are british customs predators.

  • Man, this thing sounds wicked. Are these the original pipes?

  • 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!!

  • hw much do they cost?

  • @granitsky Absolutely! Um, can I borrow $8,799.00?

  • 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.

  • @mormonjoe actually modern Triumphs are about as reliable as you can get :o)

  • 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.

  • what year and model bonnie is this? i need to take note of it. I love the chrome strip down the tank

  • This is great british engineering at it's best.

  • kinda sounds like my ttr-125 dirtbike....but its all good.....nice bike

  • 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....

  • Tee-hee! Who wants a M3 anyway, when you can have a bonnie!!!

  • What a lovely sound!! A classic british bike with a fantastic exhaust note!! Nice footage!

  • GREAT BIKE..

  • Ohhhh....I love this sound...Thank you

  • so why was the camera aimed at the triple clamp the whole time? it's just kind of a "chin cam," and as a result, this vid is pretty pointless.

  • And thus your comment is pointless. Thanks for wasting everyone's time.

  • Your bike is wearing a watch. Therefore, it thinks it is a person. I am a philosopher of sorts.

  • its about the sound you know ? :)

  • 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?

  • The brand is "British Customs" and the model is "Predators". I have since put on Emgo reverse cone mufflers and rejetted with an airbox removal kit.

  • Why did you choose to go to the Emgos?

    Would you care to sell your predators and jets?

  • great exhaust sound - sweet as any trumpet!!!!

  • ahh look what we brits can achive triumphs are better than any outher make of bike

  • germanirish - they're fucking predators man - they sound sweet

  • Trumpies are so cool!!And the people who ride them are so much cultured then the Harley Set!!!

  • 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.

  • It doesn't handle anywhere near as good as a T140 Bonneville.

    I know, I own both.

    Hagon shock absorbers are not the best, pretty mediocre actually.

    Get yourself some Ohlins.

  • 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.

  • Lovely sound - only engine that comes close is a Guzzi v Twin. But lovely. Lovely.

  • Great sound...nice.

  • That's not a REAL Triumph Bonnie.

    Listen to the whine from the engine it's horrible just like a Honda.

    Those Hinkley Triumphs are just like Jap crap with Triumph badges.

    Even the badges have a crap design.

    Original Triumphs are faster, lighter and handle better too.

  • 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"

    Foriegn s h i t e.

    Not a proper Triumph.

  • what the fuck are you talkin about you fool.are you tryin to be funny? or are you just always an arse.

  • I know what the fuck I'm talking about. I've owned Triumph motorcycles for 36 years.

    I've got both a Hinkley T100 Bonnie and a Meriden T140V 750cc Bonneville.

    The T140V is a much better "rider's bike" and it sounds much better too.

  • sorry i see that they are british predators, and they RULE!!!!

  • agree... triumpth rox and they are cheap :)

  • nice MC, like tha watch too

  • Great sound and bike!

  • awesome sounding bike! Just wanderin what kinda pipes you got on the bonnie. Let me know, cause those sound great!

  • i love the bonneville, but it has to be pure black or red/silver on the tank. theres a bike..

  • OMG, I love that sound. Triumphs are the sweetest bikes. And man, are they elegant to look at. Cool vid, I hope you enjoy your bike.
