    The looks get me looking forward to ride my 2020 customized Street Twin every day, while the torque and sound put a smile on my face whenever I’m riding it. That’s what motorcycles are all about for me. Happy to leave all the gizmo and electronics distraction behind, these Triumphs are the real deal.

    I live in Connecticut farm country and have a left over 2017 900 Street Scrambler .It is a perfect back road roadster able to add some nice gravel and dirt roads to the mix .. A perfect choice for farm country ... :) Plus the best choice for very easy chain cleaning and adjustments ...

    I've a 2017 T100 Black and, for a solo rider (I weigh 175 lbs and am just under 6 ft), its more than enough power, light to manoeuvre and I'm averaging 75 mpg (UK gallon). I had previously an air-cooled 2009 Speedmaster and found it very hard to manoeuvre at low speed and around the smaller / tighter junctions that we can get here in the UK.

    For me, the T100; I prefer the taller seat and the classic-style paint job.
    Just a couple of minor corrections, however. Firstly, the bike of Johnny Allen was called a Streamliner, not a steamliner; a Freudian slip, no doubt...
    Secondly, the first Triumph Bonneville was first produced in 1959, not 1902. Triumph themselves were started in Coventry by Siegfried Bettmann in 1886 under the name Triumph Cycle Company and produced their first bicycle in 1889. It produced its first motorcycle in 1902, being a bicycle powered by a Belgian-made Minerva engine. It wasn't called a Bonneville...
    Triumph started making cars in 1923 and that part of the business was sold to Standard Motors in 1939. Following the destruction of the Triumph motorcycle factory (owned since 1936 by Jack Sangster's Ariel Motorcycles) by the German Luftwaffe raid on Coventry on the night of 14/15th November 1940 (Operation Moonlight Sonata), the factory was relocated in 1942 to a greenfield site in nearby Meriden. They stayed in that location until 1983. About the only reference in Meriden to Triumph these days are two streets, called Bonneville Close and Daytona Drive.

      I love the old Bonnevilles, but in the expensive T100's shadow lurks the throaty 650 Interceptor with a taller seat befitting a 6-2 rider.. and a fistfull of cash to boot! and a centerstand. 😀

    • @chrisweeks6973
      @chrisweeks6973 2 роки тому +2

      @@sscbkr48 Agreed - and having ridden one, the Interceptor's a very nice bike, though I would change the seat for the new touring version as the OEM one's a bit thin for my 76-year-old bones. Here in Australia, the T100 costs from AUD$18,290 and the Interceptor is $10,990 which is a $7,300 saving, so the choice is a fairly simple one. And yes, I prefer to have a centrestand, too.

    I’d go for the Street Twin or the Street Scrambler if I were considering a 900. For lightness.😘
    If you like the T100 for its styling, I’d recommend going up to the 1200cc T120. The T120 is virtually identical to the T100 expect for the stronger engine and dual front discs. The slight extra cost of the T120 is well worth it for added power and brakes. Go Street Twin or T120😎.

    Bonneville for me. T100 or T120 is the question. I've already owned a ZX14R, and an Aprilia Tuono 1100, so I'm used to stupid power but then again, it always seemed ridiculous for road use. I think a more relaxed ride would be nice. A used T100 might just be a nice little bike for around town. My back is shot, so I won't be making any long trips on it.

    Hi there, very good presentation. I live in Australia and an 65 years old. It would be the Street Twin for me as any seat height over 31.6 inches ( or 800mm ) see's me out as I'm not that tall
    Other brands in this category for me would be the Kawasaki W800 SE model ( the seat height is very close to the Triumph Street Twin ) or the Moto Guzzi current V7 models ( in particular the V7 Special ) which has a 30.7 seat height, however given that I all ready own four motorcycles, at least one of then would have to go before I purchase another!

    Hi
    Went to a bike show in the UK to sit on both. I am 5’9” but shortish legs. T100 was great but I was wrong thinking the Street Twin would be the better option. Pegs on both are the same height from the ground so with the lower seat on the ST, the knees are at a more extreme angle so I would think less comfortable.

      @C Wheremonster Just for the record, my 2020, 1200 Speed Twin destroyed its gearbox at 11,000 miles,having had 3 oil and filter changes in that time ( one more than the recommended service interval). Being 4 months out of warranty, the Triumph factory weren't interested in helping me in any way,or on why it had failed. Disgusting attitude towards the customer and their product,in my opinion. 6th gear disinterested while riding steadily down hill at 55mph.....who knows what the outcome may have been if riding at a much higher speed? The Triumph dealer I contacted for advice,quoted 24 hours for the repair at £96 per hour,so I was looking at £3,500 bill,including the parts,to repair a £12,000 motorcycle having ridden 11,000 miles and barely out of warranty. Make your own mind up,but it's the last modern Triumph I will ever buy,and advise others not to. They look good,but that's about it. I have owned 3 T140's, a T110 and still own a 500 T100T.....Far more reliable and value for money. If you insist on buying Asian built,buy something that works,and works well....Honda,Suzuki,Yamaha,Kawasaki......

    You state the handlebars are the same. They are not ! The Street Twin has a thinner bar that is a completely different shape. The biggest difference you did not touch on is the riding position, the Street Twin is noticeable more sporty with pegs further aft and aforementioned handlebars lower with more weight on the wrist. I would recommend any purchaser to ride both as the seating position could be a deal breaker for some. How do I know ? Well I could not make my mind up, so bought both ! I love them both for their different characters, however they are a significantly different ride. When I was considering a T120 and T100 the Triumph dealership only had a T120 and Street Twin to test ride, I was reliably informed the T100 was identical to ride as the Street Twin. Either the salesperson had not ridden the bikes or was giving a potential customer complete BS. I did not buy a single bike from them and never will for this deception !

    The The difference is one is good and the other one is for babies. bobber is the meanest, the T120 and the T 10 are the next choice, the street twin is good for beginners and those who wish to have the easiest ride, but it doesn't have the chromium plate on the tank it's just spray paint. And the raised exhaust pipes give probably actually a smoother performance than the true Bonnevilles. But the truth is, it's a beginners bike at entry level and I wouldn't really call it a triumph yet. Because it's closer to a Japanese bike than a British like in its change of concept and they are trying to grab some of the marketplace that usually do not get attracted by triumph. I believe the street twin to be a bastardized version of some thing between a Honda CB and a triumph. I just bought a night shift from Ducati 800 cc version, And to be honest, I wouldn't swap it for a triumph Street twin or, a T 110 or T120 any day. also in the triumph owners club communities, this bike will bring you no prestige at all when those parked around you are on Bonneville T 10 and Bonneville T120 and the Bonneville bobber and the gold line additions. So if you plan to be involved with the triumph collector community, this is definitely not a good choice to take the speed twin. it's like going to a vintage car meeting in the morris Marina. Or better said, it would arrive looking like Mr. bean compared to the other models

      An over-priced Ducati nut, reviewing Triumphs, yeah! And not accurately at that!
