T100 Bonneville, on this video we look at the T100 and the differences compared to the Street Twin we tested last week. Subtle changes and the T100/T120 definitely suits the taller rider.

I’m just blown away how Triumph hides the radiator and emissions control. I just love it that they care so much about image
They do a great job of hiding true even the wire loom and water hoses. I once owned a Ducati monster and there was so many water hoses and wires was unbelievable really
What a bike, as a T120 owner I need to consider the Euro5 T100.
I really like the clocks on the T100 not keen on the silencers but can be changed and I would put a grab rail onto the back of the seat also it is nice to see a decent sized pillion seat too, which is quite rare think these days .All the same I would be struggling to chose between this and the Street twin so will continue to watch the rest of your review but come next season I may well be trading in for one or the other I hope . Good review cheers : )
Thanks Malcolm, both great bikes 👍
Nice comparison. I setted on a T-100 Gold Line. Love it. Making various cosemetic changes though. Can't help myself. 🙂. Center Stand, Sump Guard, MoroneCrash Bars, Halcyon Bar End Mirrors, Rear Grab rail, upgraded clock faces, (Arton Works), Brown leather seat, tires, black T-100 side panels. More to come. Mostly cosmetic. All the colors available are lovely. The motor and the gearing etc are great. I'm so happy I went with a Bonneville instead of a much smaller RE I was considering.
Love the T100 GoldLine, beautiful paint on that one. Bonny much more bike than the RE’s for sure 👌
I have a 2005 t100, and am totally happy with it. More chrome than yours, including chain guard. I noticed they extended the mirror stalks, i put factory barends on it.
As for modes, I do believe that's an optional feature on the T100. Mine doesn't have any of the electronic bling, its fine, these bikes aren't race machines . They are standard on the 120, or any 1200 cc triumphs.
Thanks for the ride, always like the scenery and seeing the newer models.take care.
Thanks Peter, yes I thought the new T100 would have rain/road modes but not. Doesn’t need anyway 😂 thanks for tuning in 🙏👍
Nice review. Thanks.
Thank you james for tuning in 👍
In my top five for the future! Love the colour of this bike.
Thanks alot, I smashed my screen trying to kill a spider !
@@leeinwis Well that was silly wasnt it?
Just got a T120 Love it. It’s a great bike. I wouldn’t snub my nose at the 100, but the 1200cc w/6 spd. Wins it for me. Triumph really has a great line up bikes for every type of riding and virtually every rider type. I’m going to be looking at a Tiger next year for touring. Can’t decide what size on that one yet.
I to just took delivery of a t120 superb
Congrats Ian great bike 👍
ive watched quite a few vids on the Triumph range and some of the big riders make the even T120 look like a kids bike, me being 5' 6'' must be nearly the perfect proportion for all of the range, to me it actually feels quite big and chunky maybe that's why i like it so much. big up to the small guys. if i ever get a chance to sneak another bike past the mrs a street twin maybe the one to go for.
Haha yes street twin epic bike 👍 just park it in the garage she’ll never know
T100 or St twin? One looks vintage the other a bit more contemporary. The St twin is lighter and sounds better. The St twin is also cheaper. Take your choice, both fine bikes. I, ve got a 2019 street twin, it's torquey solid and addictive.
Agree that street sounded better, awesome bikes both great 👍
Great review, loving the triumphs at the moment. I think you deserve a T100 in black. Treat yourself :)
Haha me too, 👍
@@MOTOUK1 Get one I've got one T 100 black jet (glossy) and have to say how great it is to ride for all days not only for the week end :-) and in my opinion, the T100 looks like the original Bonneville, thiner than the T120...
Agree the T100 is the one I would choose 👍
Mode Button: I’ve just looked at the manual on line. Only the T120 has a mode button on the right; and the mode button for the Street Twin, is a button on the left control unit. The T100, doesn’t have one.
From the manual: ‘Riding modes are available on all models except BonnevilleT100 and Bonneville T120 Bud Ekins’
That’s crazy why they never put on this model when the street has 😂
You can get cruise control as an option on the T100 now, I think it's their cheapest bike that has that option available which is bizarre. Very tempted by one in black with cruise and heated grips ticked.
This is awesome news, I’m glad they bring CC to the T100 as an accessory to configure. I would go for the black one too 👍
One advantage that the T100 has over the Street Twin (or as they now ridiculously call it, the Speed Twin 900) is its full-size front mudguard. The ST's excuse for a mudguard allows all sorts of road gunge to be thrown over the radiator, exhaust ports and engine.
Agree much prefer larger mudgaurd otherwise your bike just gets all the crap
First thing I installed on my 2016 Street Twin was a front fender extender 😊
Brilliant route I know you said trough of Bowland did you plan the route on a route planner
I use the beeline app with the beeline heads up display lately 👍
Hi great vídeo comparison. What câmera do you use to film? Noticed a small camera on the handlebar
I now use last few videos on helmet, DJI action 2, and on the bars a insta360 one x2
man i honestly love both bikes but that exhaust tip for t100 really puts me off. is it just me?? anyone else hate the way that t100 exhaust looks? especially the end of the exhaust. only reason why i would choose the street twin. its a compromise.
I think the exhaust is very in keeping with the style of the classic bonnie that this harks back to. Pretty easy to swap the exhaust to another style if you prefer.
No centre stand? silly screw off off-centre separate fuel cap? does it feel potholes?
ST is 4 pistons brake in the front and T100 is only 2 ... did you noticed any difference about the braking power ?
Tbh I didn’t notice much difference
The Street Twin should just come with spokes wheels so its more brat style. Would win it for me.
Agree spokes are better more classic looking
I’m really curious how it stacks up performance wise to the street twin, do you think one is quicker than the other?
Both same really
Being lighter than the T100, I imagine the St twin would edge it.
mode switch is on all models except the T100 page 44 of the manual
Correct 👍
Is there any difference in braking performance between bonneville and street/speed twin 900 since they have different brakes? Tnx
Yes there is
Really appreciate the mention for the taller rider. I used to own a St Twin and now I’m looking into the T100. Any bonuses to the T120 besides the bigger engine (not needed for me), and some creature comforts?
Just cruise control really and a little bulkier bike. Twin disks so better braking and if your doing lots of highways then the T120 has 6 gears compared to 5 on the T100
@@MOTOUK1 Fair enough. I think I still prefer the T100. I'll be test riding both soon!
I’d have the T100 also 👍
Same wheelbase , but looks to me like the T100 would be more suited to 2 up than the street twin . Yes ?
Yes I agree
I have a Bud Eskins T100, no RH mode button
Ooh that Bud one is nice 👍
One Triumph dealer suggested the rear shocks on both the T100 & T120 need upgrading if taking a passenger/ pillion on a regular basis.
Yes I think I would upgrade any way to gas shocks on the rear, I see triumph do some.
If you had to choose between the Z900RS and T100 which one ?
If I had to choose it would be the T100 as I prefer the twin to the inline 4. Both great bikes though
@@MOTOUK1 have you every ridden an air cooled model year of the T100 ? Here in the States I can get air-cooled versions of 2013 to 2016 in mint condition with way.less than 1000 miles for a steal. Thank you ..
No not ridden the earlier model air cooled
@@wiskkid hi Stuart. I used to own an air cooled bonnie, they really are inferior. Handling braking and power (feeling) is very very poor compared to new water cooled bonnies. I sold mine pretty quickly I was so disappointed, but The WC bonnies are all great
@@wiskkid I should add I have ridden a speed twin, thruxton 1200, thruxton 900 (air cooled) , t120, t100 water cooled version and air cooled version.
seat height seems to be only related to the saddle design ...
Your title is slightly misleading. You reference Speed Twin in the title, but your commentary refers to Street Twin. Enjoyed your review though, Thank you.
😂 no it says street twin ☺️😂 cheers 🍻
@@MOTOUK1 frfr it does 🤣🤣🤣 but i get it because when i search street twin, i end up watching reviews for speed twin.
I don't understand why here in Spain, the T100 is 1850€ more than the Street Twin. That's too much, I think.
And I would say the aluminium wheels are more expensive than the spoke wheels. I don't think it's worth
paying that much more for the T100. What do you think?
Agree in U.K. it’s only 1,063 euros more :(
Totally agree, it's overpriced in Spain
1650 eur more expensive in Macedonia also, my opinion is that T100 shouldn’t have more than 1000 eur price difference so the pricing in UK is correct but world wide is not so. T100 is great bike but with 12.100 eur price tag this bike get in competition with bigger and better specs bikes like BMW R9T, Ducati Scrambler 1100 which sales in my country for 12.500-13.000 with dealers discounts (for comparison T120 and ST1200 14.800/15.000 eur), Triumph doesn’t offer any discount on their models. Maybe is just dealership policy not Triumph but that’s reality.
So if Triumph wants volume, than Speed twin 900 should not be more expensive than 9990 eur and T100 10.990 eur T120/ST1200 not more than 12.990 eur, that would be fair price.
In my country JLR have same pricing policy like Triumph and is completely beaten by German competition so same goes for motorcycles. And on top of it I think Triumphs are made in Thailand, at the same time BMW and Ducati in Germany/Italy something is wrong here for sure.
LOL @ "the switch is missing".
😂😂
@@MOTOUK1 Did you ever find out why it wasn't there?
@@hogwylde doesn’t come with cruise control
@@MOTOUK1 But I thought you were looking for the mode button to switch between rain and rode modes?
@@hogwylde haha that as well doesn’t have only the T120 hence why i bought the T120 recently 👍
The look is more classic than street twins
Yes agree, really does catch that old Bonneville classic look from years ago.
Are these bikes reliable or prone to mechanical failures?
Reliable.
It looks so scary, cruising around those corners. All it takes is a greasy patch and you are off!
Why 🤔 a road is a road
How does it ride over a bumpy road?
It’s awesome on all roads 👌
Rather than say you like the spoke wheels over the cast, perhaps you could say WHY. I imagine it's because you prefer the "classic" look of spokes. Spoked wheels are substantially heavier and require inner tubes, adding even more weight. Frankly the T100 and Street Twin are too underpowered for spirited rides, but decent for bumming around town.
Because I prefer the look absolutely 👍 and tbh they are not designed for spirited riding, I wouldn’t say underpowered though.
It only has Road mode
Yes only road mode on the T100
I see you shrank during the test ride from 6’2 to 6”1 - weird!
😂😂😂
Non puoi cambiare le modalità di guida solo perché a differenza delle altre non ci sono. Ciao
Correct no modes only on the t120, another reason why I bought the t120 on my channel
