    I'm 64 years young, I've owned three Triumph Bonnevilles. 650 four speed , a 650 5 speed, and a 750 5 speed. Especially with the 750 bonny I never raced a Harley that I didn't blow off. I had TT straight pipes, Mucuni carbs, flat tracker seat and tank & bars, I could stand up on that bullet seat and do wheelies in second gear for a quarter mile. My idol growing up was Evel Knenvel. Best bike I ever owned and I've owned 24 different bikes!!

    I have a 2013 T100 with the TORS mufflers. Great sound. I am 63 years old and have owned 20+ motorcycles. This is BY FAR the greatest all-rounder I have owned. It does literally everything well. It's got decent power and it handles like a dream. It's smooth and comfortable (with one exception). The rear shocks are pretty poor. I replaced them with a set of Hagons from British Customs. It will cruise at 80 all day long. (I did go up a tooth on the front sprocket). But I just have to point out something glaringly wrong with this guys demo ride. His front forks are sagging BADLY. They are not properly setup. But instead of a bunch of fuss, just spend the 100 bucks for Progressive springs and be done with it. In summation, with these mods, best bike I've ever owned. Progressive springs, Hagon shocks, factory TORS mufflers (identical style as original), K&N filter, one tooth larger up front, mini turn signals, and an ignition switch move kit to the instrument panel. It's a lifetime keeper. Oh, and the engines are built like tanks. Way over engineered. Should last forever.

    Hey Sean,
    When I purchased my new 2015 air cooled Bonnie T100, I had the choice to wait for the water cooled models that were arriving in less than 6 months. I thought long and hard about it and decided that the AC T100 was the way to go. Man, am I glad it did. In arriving to this decision, some of the things I considered were: Large selection of aftermarket products available right now, The extended user knowledge base of this model, and the bike being more true to its heritage. Now don't get me wrong, the new Bonneville line of Triumphs are are great, (dual discs up front, not needing 15 minutes to get under your seat, and a fuel gage (what a concept)). A good friend of mine decided to wait it out for the T120. Now that I have experience with both models, I have to say that most of this videos comments ring true.
    Cheers,
    Ken

    My 2013 T-100 was my first bike off the showroom floor. I didn’t start riding motorcycles until I was 51 years old and this is the bike I bought. Yes, I still own it and it’s definitely my forever bike. I’ll hit the 70k mark this week. I’m about 350 miles shy. Then, September 3rd, I leave for my yearly solo motorcycle trip through the southeast. Mostly the Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountains. I’ll leave Orange Beach, AL. and ride through Alabama, of course, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tenn, SC, NC, Georgia, Florida and back home. About 2,500 more miles. I know a lot of guys ride much more than that but so many hardly come close to that. I’m 61 years old. If I lose all I’ve worked for my whole life they won’t get my motorcycle. I’ll buy a tent and keep on going. Yes, it was my first bike and definitely my last! I’ll NEVER sell it. I have decided when I get to 100k I get to buy a new bike BUT it’ll be a side gig.
    I regret not riding when I was younger but I’m trying to make up for it! It’s the greatest thing, other than family and things like that, that I’ve ever found.
    Thx for your channel! I always enjoy it
    Godspeed 🙏🏻 Peace ✌🏻😎

    This is a fun, and funny, video. At 63, not having ridden in decades, and just entered into semiretirement, I just picked up a 2013 T100 with a mere 2.4K miles on it for $5K. It has a few inconspicuous score marks low on one pipe, but is otherwise in new condition. I've barely ridden it yet, around the 'hood only, but for the "artwork" aspect alone (Fusion White/Carnival Red), the neighbors should thank me for parking it my driveway!!

    Sean repeatedly stresses that this is a beginner's, or entry level bike. When you pigeon-hole and typecast a bike it is not only a disservice to the bike but a disservice to the rider! Please don't do that.
    I have been an avid motorcyclist for almost 35 years. I have 2016 Triumph Bonneville T100.
    I can tell you that it is every bit as engaging, fast, dynamic, and nimble as any bike I've ever owned!! And I've owned many different bikes some of which were much bigger and more powerful than this.
    Also from a marketing standpoint it would be in your interest to reach a broader audience than just "beginners" and it would not be a misleading thing to say that it's suitable for any level of riding experience. This bike is simply a thrill and a joy to ride!! Just some food for thought.

I grew up in the 60's loving the Bonnevilles, BSA Lightnings, & Norton Commandos, but it was Triumph Bonneville that was my dream bike. I finally got a '07 in 2010, last carbureted model, added slash pipes and now it's perfect. No matter what else I buy, I'll never sell the Bonney.

    My feelings exactly about the 2016 T100 I just bought. Not too much bike for a road noobie like me. Would have preferred a 2018 with water cooling and ABS but not a big deal and couldn't pass up this one with Hagon shocks, progressive springs and lots of other upgrades. Quality build, EFI, throttle by wire, great sound. The single disc up front is fine. Feels a little heavy if you lean it over when stopped but not when moving. I wish it had a 6th gear like the T120, but not all that important. Great bike.

    @neilleach5249 5 років тому +19

    "Parallel twin" refers to the cylinder arrangement, not the firing order. My '04 Bonneville has 360° firing, which gives a power pulse with each crank revolution. I'm pretty sure a '15 has 270° timing. The only reason Triumph went to 270° timing was to give a slightly lumpier exhaust note. Roll-on and peak horsepower are essentially the same. My '04 was my 15th bike going back to a 1974 Yamaha RD350 bought new in '75. I bought the Bonneville to be my last bike. Since '04 I have had zero reason to think that decision was wrong. If you get stupid and toss the bike you will feel the weight when you try to pick it up. Other than that, no problem. I only wish it had two things : a 6th gear and a kick starter. Fine review. Keep rocking the beard. Be safe - cage drivers do.not.see.us.

BTW, I once had 3 bikes at the same time. Drove my wife crazy.

Now she jumps off the line, no snatchy throttle, and she actually has mid range torque. Mileage is the same, around 42mpg. Again, I LOVE my Bonneville sooo much. Best bike ever.

    I have a 2014 T100 red on black with fenders painted with red stripe. I installed Progressive’s shocks and fork springs, a solo seat with rack, waxed cotton saddlebags, a Dart screen and have a small adjustable shield for longer rides. I also have a ‘97 Valk, ‘94 BMW R1100RS and ‘09 BMW R1200RT, so more power doesn’t interest me. I like the simplicity of the T100 and it has no problem keeping up with the big bikes. As the curves get tighter, the big bikes have a hard time keeping up with me. If I had to go down to one bike, I think it would be T100. The BMWs are expensive to maintain, I love the Valkyrie, but I am 67 and finding the 700 lb. bike a chore pushing around the garage.

    This bike is light and nimble than T120, which means that it is really good in the twisties and maneuverable in heavy traffic too . This is a dual purpose bike . You can do commuting and touring on this bike too . The power is adequate and it is not scary to ride like a sports bike . It's calm and soothing to your mind . Perfect for cruising along the highway at 100 or 120kmph . It doesn't have a a sixth gear but it won't make you crave for the 6th gear coz power is evenly distributed all across the revband . I would buy this and spend the extra money to modify the bike for touring a little bit rather than spend all your money on the T120 which gives power at the cost of handling nimbleness and ease of riding.

    Yes, it rides like butter smoothness. I have the T120 and I think she’s my last bike and she is a keeper as you said. There’s something very special about it…can’t define why but I know it is. I have ridden a lot of other bikes , other Triumph bikes too and none has felt so well to ride like the T120. I tested the Thruxton. Yes it is an excellent bike but in terms of top end you automatically compare with other bikes and lose interest. I’ve ridden the speed twin, which is also a very capable bike, but again we tend to compare it with other bikes we’ve ridden and again, you loose interest. But the T120 or the T100, I don’t really know the reason you don’t think about any other bike. I didn’t. There was none to compare it to. She has things of personality that immediately tell you about unique sensations. At least it was what surprisingly happened with me. I felt very amused taking the bike out and enjoying the particular way of cornering with it. Of breaking and stopping with it. Didn’t felt special in a technical way but on a specific and pleasant way. Different from all the rest. Not because of its efficiency, because I ride other bikes that at an efficiency level are better…so, what the hell is there?
    Still can’t say. I just can say that everything, but seriously, everything feels right about the ride with this machine. And that my friends, I can’t define exactly why or what it is. I just know it!✌️✌️✌️

    Very awesome, and honest review. Whats fumy is that is how I describe the Yamaha XS650 "It could be your first bike, and your last bike." This review is the reason I started looking at the T100 and the T120 as my next motorcycle

    For some reason, you finished the video at the half way mark on the tape. Great video too, by the way! Triumphs are awesome bikes! They always have been that way.! Back in the 60s, when I was in high school, a friend of mine had one. It was a 650cc back then, but it had enough power and high compression that it took a real man to kick it on! Those were the days of kick starters, and no sissy -boy ever owned one of them. Guaranteed! Ask Clinton Eastwood or Steve McQueen or any other actor that rode one on set!! Steve McQueen owned one for reals and made them famous in America !The newer one has a lot more improvements and still looked the same as the 650s did back in the kick start days! A rider can't go wrong with a Triumph in his garage! Triumph has still kept its place in their corner on the market to this day, because of those two actors riding them in movies... They are awesome and also very good looking bikes to own!!

      David Greve: First I must say that I agree, Trumpets are great bikes and I would take one any day over owning another Hardly Runningson. Just wondering why you wrote Clinton Eastwood? Nobody says that and if you are going to use his whole first name why stop there? You should add the Jr after it. Or, instead of saying Steve McQueen you should write Terence Steven McQueen. Mixing formal and informal is off-putting and sounds, well, ignorant...so does saying, "McQueen owned one for reals" where are you from that you say that? It makes you sound incredibly stupid, or like you are trying too hard to sound cool when you are not.

    • @davidgreve1081
      @davidgreve1081 6 років тому

      @@nonaubiz8939 , that was my spelling corrected that wrote out Clint. Eastwood name long. I failed to proof read it before I pushed send. Steve McQueen was quite a performer on a Bike. If you watch any of his war escape movies, Hes incredible on one! Vie never seen anyone jump stuff like he did! He IS the reason Triumph got a piece of the market in the USA! No kidding at all. Want to merchandise a bike? Put someone who rides like he did in his movies!! That's what I call a talented rider, and gnats what I call a powerful high compression Bike! Triumph is the best import the Brits ever designed and built! Still is too!!
