  • 2 Dislikes? What is there not to like. Some people.............

  • Sweet bike. Trying to source a black/white fusion but may have too settle for the green/white fusion, Black or cranberry Cream of 2012. Decisions! also toss up for me between the Pred's, Togas and sleepers

  • @jamesmckoy

    I was too last month! I hate the new colors and paint job for 2012! I live in florida and had to call every single dealers in the whole usa. Found the last new one in Lynnwood Washington! over 3 thousand miles away! I Bought it and i'm waiting for it to arrive! Can't wait! another 2 weeks to get here.

  • That's beautiful. :-)

  • Do you want to sell this Triumph ???

  • I'm really impressed !!!

  • the flyscreen just adds to its coolness.

  • I love this bike i can't wait till the spring to get my first new triumph, im still debating on either the t100 or the speedmaster.

  • @11xr1east T100!!!!!!!!!!!! 8-)

  • I'm still undecided between, predators, sleepers, NH Togas or Epcos for my exhaust.  Must admit though I am leaning towards the Preds. Great looking bike. At least Triumph kept the classic appearance with the T-100. Something which is slightly lost (in my opinion) with the standard and SE Bonnevilles.

  • Thanks for posting...sounds awesome. I have the exact same bike..a couple years now. This is my year to mod....you have inspired me.  Excellent sound and look!!

  • I have to admit that I was chopper/cruiser/naked hater. I was in love in sports. But since i bought Kawasaki er5 my heart is gettin closer to that beautiful machines. No more plastic gentleman, naked4life. Peace from Poland.PS Beautiful bike

  • Nice! I had a 79 T-140 E, fun to ride and got lots of looks.

    Tom

  • Your Bonneville's tappets sound an alfull lot like my 1976 T140 Bonneville. Why is that, as my Bonne has push rods and yours has OHC. Does your's have rocker arms being actuated by OHC?

    My T140V was the fastest over the road racer from 1977 to 1987 a 10 year perriod. I raced and beat every street bike that I came accross in Long Island. Came out of retirement in 1992 and beat the Ninja 1100cc Fuel Inj bike and 1000cc Honda Hurricane too. All because of good enough power and the best handling.

  • theres nothing like the sound of a bonneville.

  • Once out of my sportsbike phase and my back cant hold me up any longer I am getting a Bonneville, cant wait, what a great sounding engine

  • Cool bike!

  • Hello everyone, I'm a 19 year old male who only stands at 5' 6.5" barefoot. I'm dead set on a Triumph Bonneville though because I've heard a lot of good things about them and I love the classic look. As far as seat height is concerned, would I be better off on a Bonneville T100 or a Bonneville (SE)? Thanks.

  • @V2012ach The SE has 1.4 inches lower seat height at 29.1 according to the brochure

  • @V2012ach Pretty sure the SE is a little lower

  • love this bike my 83 tsx is nice too

  • very comfy

  • Absolutely beautiful.

  • I like the way how they making this bikes, not too much complicated and also not similar to the other bikes. This is just how the bike should looks like.

  • sounds like a Thruxton

  • Sweet!

  • Beautiful bike.

  • Quality British engineering.

  • Nice job, awesome bike

  • que hermosa motocicleta! es como la del video de bruce dickinson

  • well am 6ft 2 and i look fucking cool man on my t100 bonnie

  • @scottishtwat501 I'm glad I noticed your comment. I'm 6'3" and am seriously considering either an SE or T100. Are you comfortable on an hour or so ride?

  • Comment removed

  • Fecking nice bike BTW

  • Jeez, if I needed to change that much to make it how I like it, I think I would have bought another bike:-)

  • @thrunobulax1 some peeps like to tinker

  • love it!

  • Very nice indeed. Sounds as it should too.

  • this bike sold more than cb750

  • That's a really gorgeous T100. Did you have any problems fitting that Burton seat?

  • Comment removed

  • sounds good except for the clunk when engaging first gear,but that could have been to many refs

  • But does it leak oil they use to? ( from a 74 T150v owner ;).

  • Kinda like Ford bringing out a fully loaded SUV and calling it the 'new' Mustang, they should've gone/stuck with the Speed Twin, Thunderbird names much more appropriate!

  • Dont get me wrong, I get the whole modern retro thing. But the original Bonneville was a legendary sportsbike that was the amongst the quickest bikes you could legally put on the road. If Triumph wanna build cruisers fine, I just think the bonneville name could've been used on a pukka sportbike to better effect. Just my opinion, nice bike tho mate.

  • love the bike, my girlfriends dad picks his new green and white one up soon from bill smiths chester, very jelous. please though one thing that annoys me, dont rev the engine and slam in first gear!!!! "ouch" said the poor lickle triumph. at tickover select first, then rev the engine. thanks :-)

  • +2 on the height ? i want one it looks a bit small for my 6 foot 3 frame

  • @mzondi1970 anyone who is over 5 ft 10, will look ridiculous riding one of these.

  • i have a quick question how tall are you and do you ride the bike comfortably?

  • beautiful

  • I seem to get slaver.

    This motorcycle is cool.

  • Awesome choke knob!

  • from the uk ,she is a beauty my friend ..

  • Daaaaamn! I want exactly the same bike. It's such a beauty! :)

  • Your t100 is great, this sound is very good, may tell me, is what brand exhaust?

  • thx nice sound :-)

  • another thing, are those pipes silenced or free flow exhaust ??

  • that bike is so beautiful , but you did also paint the gas tank right ..? loved the exhaust pipes, beautiful sound too - the whole thing is just great. The Triumph company should take notice of your modifications, cause I want exactly the same bike !!

  • She's sweet

  • Nice exaust

    

  • I would almost fap to this video...

  • Was the lucas style lighting kit difficult to install?

  • whats the retail on one those bad boys?

  • @Stoviecakes $8799 MSRP

  • Put AMSOIL in there and it will shift even better!!

  • Amazing bike...I have a 2006 Suzuki S83 that I want to trade in for one of these. Did you spend a fortune on all the upgrades/accessories??

  • Looks great, sounds awesome! nicely done. r.e. your performance upgrades - has they made a really signifigant difference in the ride? I love the look/sound of this bike, but want a bike that can also be ridden pretty hard. (I'm also thinking about the Ducati GT1000, which I understands performs pretty well, but frankly I think it looks about half as cool as a normal bonnie, and about a 10th as cool as the bike in this vid). love to hear your thoughts

  • Nicely modded - have a efi 08 myself and simply love it

    same saddle and hedge's 8 ball choke knob too!! (plus a few other tasteful mods)

    Miles of Smiles

    Nodster

  • This thing has too much style!

  • I have the same bike, absolutely love it !

  • IT`S REALLY COOL! Thanks, Man!

  • you're so lucky, dude

  • I think this is the best bike made anywhere!!!!

  • r the new tanks exactly like the vintage ones, or slightly different shape and size? fuel injected?

  • Would you mind sharing with me how tall you are and your inseam if possible? I'd like to gauge the seat height.

    Thanks

  • Looks great. That's an EFI right? Did you do a remap with the airbox elimination kit or are you running it stock?

  • So sick, man! what a freakin beautiful bike!

  • I get my NEW T100 Black tomorrow 1 Mar 11 I wont sleep tonight.....AWESUME

  • Most beautifull bike under the sun.

  • @Trautenbergg It used to be, until Norton brought out the Commando 961. :o)

  • Quite nice, in fact I like it but its a stock 2008 Bonny with a few added aftermarket bits. Wouldn't keep me away from the porn..........................­.

  • I want one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

  • Beautiful - the low profile handlebars and bar end mirrors totally transform the bike.

    I'm taking notes on your mods...

  • I want one of these sooo badly..

    What sort of price would I expect to pay in the UK for a second-hand one of these beauts?

  • On the streets where the harleys once rumbled,

    now the rebirth of the british steel shall trundle.

    Never mind where her parts come from,

    'cause it's with british pride we shall ride.

    Be it a triple or a commando,

    it'll put a wide grin where ever ye shall go.

  • @vaestanfors

    Im afraid you're wrong old chappy

    those same streets are full of japies

    cause they look quite nice

    and they're half the price

    plus they don't oil their nappies

  • @bunjit1 I have a honda that marks it's territory with only 12000km's, Triumphs here get everyone's attention while harleys and jap bikes dont even get a look.

  • @vaestanfors hahahaha, take a chill pill guy, just havin a joke for fun.

  • awesome sound!!

  • Congratulation !!! Very Very Sober and beautiful. Looks like an old one...but more beautiful, "more classic" I think. Could you tell me what you have made? All your work? Thanks and have a good trip.

  • i want the rear shocks for mine those headers are stainless ya know

  • @dogsdinna you, not 'ya'

  • i want the rear shocks for mine

  • Beautiful bike...great mods!

  • That bike is most fly, pimped to perfection.

  • This is a beautiful machine and it is time I had one. Have you seen the video on here of the 2006 Triumph Thruxton with Epco exhausts?? - are these exhausts available in this end of the world??

  • nice! real nice!!

  • I almost got the T100 I elected to go with the scrambler instead I just liked the look of the high swept exhaust a little more

  • i love that bike

  • That is a really nice bike!

  • I just discovered Triumph motorcycles/cafe racers etc. The t100 is a beautiful bike combining the classic looks of the old Bonevilles with modern technology. I won a Vespa couple years ago, introducing me to two wheels. Its a fun ride, but that t100 is my style.

  • The pipes you have are the same ones my dad had LOL they still put them her? Sounds great!

  • My dad had the trident many years ago and this reminds me of it and the way she sounds! I really Love this bike it has been one of my favorites for a long time. She looks great happy trails to you ! From Detroit

  • Where did the the Lucas light kit come from? I have a '74 Moto Guzzi and all my Lucas turn signal lenses have tiny stress cracks. I'd love to replace them if it's not too expensive.

  • @crispiegee1 Got the email. Thanks Yellowrubiu1!

    The bike looks fabulous. If I ever end up buying a Bonneville, I would want to do the exact same mods. (My riding partner intends on buying one, so I will forward this to him. I first want to replace my sport bike with a Sprint GT and - down the road - buy a Tiger 800XC. Too many bikes, too little time!)

  • cool!

  • i had one of these as a loaner while my bike was in the shop,they are one of the nicest looking bikes ever built,beautiful to ride,make all the right sounds,i'd have

    one in a heartbeat if only they wern't so gutless. i'm still waiting for triumph to

    produce a 1050 daytona but they are a bit backward in coming forward.

    nice bike incidentally !!

  • really nice bike man. in the top 3 modern bonnies on the net as far as I'm concerned. I absolutely love the new bonnies but the stock mufflers make them sound like pansies. yours sounds bad ass .

  • Those handlebars and mirrors make all the difference. Thanks for sharing.

  • I think the 'classic' Meriden type seat is a massive improvement over the stock Hinckley item.

  • It's a beautiful machine!

  • very nice & good bike.I have a triumph thruxton.thanks.

  • sweet sound love the bike but

    dude ditch the closed face it does not go with da bike

    gotta stay true to the rocker

    go open with nanninis and a face buff like" the cult of the cafe racer dudes"

    get a black brando with some ace patches lewis boots with rolled white socks now we have the look and ya will be a dirty rocker freakin too cool chick will drool

    or thats what i like to think of me on my bonnie girl

    cheers triumph rules the road in style

  • Wow, not everybody has an eight ball knob!

  • Man, that is the most beautyful bike in the world. You lucky rich bastard :):):)

  • im thinking of getting my biker license just because of this bike.

  • how's it been holding up reliability wise? I am looking to buy a new bike and really want one of these.

  • Love the screen and seat, nice bike!

  • the best bike ever?

    bikers vote with their wallets.

    not many bonnies about these days, and with good reason.

    nice bike, but WAY behind the competition.

  • @duckgeezer Hi mate!...what is the competition in the bonnie market sector?? triumph bonnie sales have increased 100% in the last year,there are lots of them about and more every year.This model is not competing with race reps and the like.It is a simple fun bike/workhorse whatever with a large following.Horses for courses.

  • @955nsim yes you are correct

    not every won wants to ride the black bussa 300 + kph on the german auto barn

    some ride in style rocker style that is

  • is the burtonbikebits seat a little higher than the stock? looks thicker... just wondering if i'll need to lower my rear shocks for that seat.

  • The best bike ever....

  • I've always been of the opinion that a Bonneville is exactly what a motorcycle is supposed to look like. To that end, the T100 captures the Bonnie aura much more than the SE model. You've further built upon that aura with the improvements you've made. Beautiful bike!

  • I want one in each color they make it. Sounds as gorgeous as it looks. Fantastic.

  • Hey great looking bike. I've got the same colour and I've just ordered the Dart Screen from British Customs. I'm also considering the Norman Hyde M bars with Napolean bar end mirrors. My only concern is whether the lower bars means more pressure on your palms than the stock bars? Good work!

  • Lovely! Is that the stock seat?

  • @gyrate4 That seat is from burtonbikebits (dot) com in the UK

  • @yellowrubiu1 how is does it compare to the stock seat?

  • @yellowrubiu1 its burtonbikebits (dot) net if anybody is looking

  • Dude, this is probably the best Bonneville I've seen (and I've seen a lot). Excelent job!

  • I am thinking of getting the British Customs Air Box Elimination Kit for my '07 Bonnie. Could you tell me if you have noticed any differences in the performance of your bike after you did this? Also, does it run better? I'm just curious as to whether it's a "noticeable" upgrade...ie. worth the money.

  • @yellowrubiu1 Oh, I meant how smooth is the bike at those speeds, because I have heard that the smaller bikes vibrate at higher speeds.

  • @yellowrubiu1 lol yeah my fiancee said she wouldn't even sit on a motorcycle.

  • A beautiful looking machine from a bygone age. Solid and honest build. Low- throated throb. Mmh!

  • Man I LOVE that bike...how does it ride at highway speeds (70 mph)?

  • Oh yeah...and how does it ride with a passenger?

  • Very nice. Definitely NOT a sheep's bike, if you know what I mean.

  • @yellowrubiu1 It is an awesome bike. Good job with the video. The mods almost make it better than a Thruxton.

  • Love the bike. I'm just curious what made you decide to get the Bonneville T100 over the Thruxton?

  • Cool bike, very cool.

  • Nice Job ! I HAVE to get one of those seats !!!!

  • nice bike ,would look better with the original exhausts on tho ,u must of paid at least 10 grand for that beauty ;)

  • So clean man! How much you pick it up for if u dont mind me askin?

  • Comment removed

  • Looks good and nice vid. I gotta get that seat. 5 *****.

  • splendide comme modifications sur ta moto, et c'est fait avec goût....! Bravo, good work.

  • Great looking bike and sounds good too!

    Watch out that some son of bitch doesn't 'nick' it!

    Good video.

    Enjoy it!!

  • Very nice video. I just put the "M" bars on my '03 Bonneville (after seeing this video), with the bar-end mirrors. The new bars really transform the bike. In fact, it feels like I traded my bike in for a new one, it's that different and much sportier, but still comfy. I have one question: are the new rear shocks the stock length or longer?

  • how did you get those mirrors on the norman hyde bars? i have the two but mine dont fit

  • Very outstanding work, both on the bike and on the video! The only mod you haven't installed yet would be VTOL jets from a Harrier Jump Jet! lol

  • Really good looking bike with great mods, and well shot video. I like your ignition relocation. Good work.
