I had a triumph tiger100 in the early 1950s and took it from Dublin across the UK, down through France to Southern Spain with my lifelong pal Jim on pillion . We had full camping gear, food ,clothes etc. In homemade 6ply wood panniers and a 6ply matching case ,with food (surmounting the panniers), when we stopped for a roadside meal we just opened the food box, lit the primus , cooked our meal and were back on the road I really loved my "tiger 100"(I named her *Lulu") and then off again to life on the road in France , it was not long after Ww2!!!( so barbed wire and anti -invasion barriers were still left on some northern French beaches) wonderful,l adventurous memories of my motorcycling days and life on the open road..now 90 years young and enjoying life (and still pals with Jim) in the 2020s but great memories of the 1950s too..oh!! to have my prized tiger back again..dream on!!!!!! Fred Corcoran...ps leading a more sedate life now but!!!
IF ONLY I STILL HAD THAT TIGER 100!!!!!!!!!!!FRED
but Ces't la Vie !!! FRED (" An Fear Dorcha" in Irish), meaning "the dark man"xx
I got mine with luck from London dealer in September 2021, the only one left that I could find in Essex area, other dealers said you’d be lucky to get one by June 22 although there was a T120. Not been disappointed with the T100, I love it and it’s good on fuel with a 14 litre tank, getting 70mpg. Just use it for fun 60/70 mile rides around country lanes etc. would recommend this bike to anyone and you’ll be grinning from ear to ear.
You’re smiling cause you’re riding the “Rolex” of Classic bikes. Your description is spot on
Cheers mate

Straight forward and honest review. Just bought 2022 T100 Gold Line edition and am loving it. The engine, exhaust sound, handling and the look its just fabulous.
First of all, thank you for this video. I just sold my last Harley, I will never own another one. And, I am looking at buying my first Triumph, a T100 Bonneville. The closest Triumph dealer to me just put a white and orange T100 Bonneville on sale yesterday, $2000.00 off the MRSP. I want it, but my wife who always rides with me is crippled and walks with a walker. I'm working with her three times a day in the attempt to build her muscle tone so she can walk without a walker and I hope we can get back to riding two wheeled motorcycles by Spring. Wish me luck. Ride safe and enjoy every journey.
You’re most welcome and I really hope you manage to get your Triumph and you and your wife can get back to riding with you. The T100 is a great choice with a low seat height and forgiving engine. It’s a dream to ride and enjoy.
What model year did you get? Did you have to negotiate for the $2k discount?
@@zteburner5882 The dealer will not budge off their price. I have since looked hard at aTriumph Speed 400 but I'm afraid it would feel like a dual sport bike and not for me. I guess I'll go back to a Japanese bike.
The 900 is a superbly well developed bike. If people are wondering is it worth the extra over an RE 650
I would say just ride them .... its a night and day difference despite what some RE fans try to tell you.
Even on a strict budget I would take a 2nd hand Bonneville every time.
I just rode one yesterday, my friends bike. Oh my god it was so planted. The handling is amazing. The gearbox was great and the clutch was so light and smooth.
Not all reviewers succeed in communicating ride excitement so top marks to you. Loved the clip.
“Sounds like a thunderstorm in the distance” luv it!! that’s exactly right
I'll definitely have a T100. I miss the old T120 of my youth, but it's clutch was a constant pain in the butt and vibration was a given. This looks perfect for my return to two wheels. Good vid, sir!
Many thanks. You brought back fond memories for me. I had a 1970 650 Bonneville. Bought new, back in the day. Brought a tear to my eyes.❤️🏴☠️
Hi Eddie !! Thanks for your review. I have a T100 and it is a real pleasure to ride the bike both in the city and on the highway.
that made me happy im sitting in my room waiting for tomorrow just bought one and its sitting in the garage ready to go
I got my T100 about the same time this was published, a great postview for me. I still love it, including the plastic side covers, the plastic carb replacement covers, the plastic seat, the plastic fenders and all the metal bits!
I just bought a 2022 T100 Gold Line. I'll have it next week. I bought it used, saved a bit of money, but it is not even run in yet. The prior owner had some personal reasons he needed to sell. I could not resist it. What a lovely bike. Great enthusiastic review. Sub'd.
First time I have seen your channel…..I will be seeking it out in the future, good informed review, thanks!
I bought the ironstone 2022 street twin 900
7 wks ago..love it.
Retro looks with modern electrics..
60-65mph happy as larry
Very informative review, and so clearly presented. I love the look and character of the T100 so much,that I have ordered a 2022 Gold Line edition. Can't wait for delivery, hopefully in the next month or so.
I'm quits on Harley and I've been drawn to the T120. A big part of my love for HD is the sound and engine braking.
I'm just going to have to get used to it.
This will be my next and last new bike i will buy - looks awesome and i especially love 2 exaust pipes like good old times
Good review 😊😊 The rhythm you give is nice and Friendly. Not as a matter of fact, Just simply executed in an easy voice, easy to talk to type .Between Yourself and Stuart Fillingham.I could simply watch you and him all day. Keep it going Eddie
Got mine in Aug 2021. I've had all sorts of bikes over the last forty years but the T100 has something a little special about it. It's just so rewarding to ride and has oodles of (good) character. I take it you're sold too? 👍😊
Great review man.....sound of the engine is lovely
Hi Eddie, I rode a T100 at the ABR festival last weekend, I totally agree with you, it just felt right, confidence inspiring to a fairly new rider, I just loved it and now I want one! Enjoyed your video.
Complimenti per il video, riesci a trasmettere proprio la sensazione di piacevolezza nel guidare questa moto!!! Per me la Triumph Bonneville T100 e la moto più bella del mondo!!! Spero l'anno prossimo di poterla acquistare... Ciao🙋
thanks for a great review, you have sold it to me!! (although that or the T120 were very much my dream bikes). I wonder have you reviewed the Bonneville Bobber? would be very interested to see what you thought on that. Phil, North Wales (new subscriber)
Fantastic review taking a rest ride next week we ith both t100 and 120
I went shopping for a bike today, and so far I am inclined to get the T100.
Bike aside, your countryside is so beautiful. Would love to ride on that road sometimes.
Thnx for the great review - you really make me even more exited for sure 😎
Enjoyable review Eddie, the T100 is a lovely bike and I love the Bonnevilles. I will look forward to your up and coming video on the Speedmaster, very soon lol.
got myself one of the gold line versions.... such a nice bike to ride around town with, love ridin around the beach areas lol
Absolutely a dream bike for me but it cost nearly MYR 64k here in Malaysia. Very expensive.
Nice review. Enthusiastic, informative and easy on the ear. I had T120s, now on a more modern BMW XR, but i still hanker after a another Bonneville and I think the T100 would be enough. Not sure I can justify two bikes…
Thank you, Pete! Great to hear. I think 2 bikes can be justified if you use them both! The XR is a fine bike, but the T has that classic heritage - maybe a bit more character? It’ll certainly hold its value too in case you’d want to sell.
@@EddieSetGo - yes, thanks. The XR is well set up for touring: luggage, good weight capacity, cruise control etc. The T100 would be my Sunday ride sort of bike…
I bought the 1200 Speedmaster last year which I like, but the T100 is the one I wished I had gone for instead. Considerably cheaper, lighter and more usable in my opinion.
For some reason, it didn't even get on my radar.
Sometimes it’s just about the ride!
Just ordered my T100 Chrome Edition in Cobalt blue. Delivery expected April/May 2023. That's after riding the T120 and both the Speed Twins 900 & 1200. Can't wait!
I ordered mine Nov 2022 after the NEC show. No delivery date yet despite asking many times. My dealer was only allocated one.. They have the T120 chrome in stock now but no sign of my bike.
@@richardredding9632 That's a bit odd. I decided I wanted a Triumph in January. By mid Feb I'd ridden all of the four Bonnevilles; T120, T100 and both Speed Twins. Decided I wanted the T100 Chrome. My dealer had the exact machine coming late April/early May so I placed the order immediately. They also had all the Bonevilles on demo and one or two others in the showroom. Maybe I just got lucky (assuming no hickups between now and expected delivery date). Hope you get your yours soon, I can understand how frustrating it must be.
I have one on order for early Spring, can’t wait. Great video and enjoyed your style of presenting.
Congrats on your new bike coming, and thank you! 🏍🔥
Hi Kev, how long is the typical waiting time from day of ordering? I’m new to motorbikes so not up with the info. I assumed they kept new bikes in stock to an extent?
They got rid of all the chrome and the gators, now you have to step up to the T120 to get that.
It’s interesting. I purposely purchased the 2022 T100, because I didn’t want all the chrome. Don’t get me wrong, it still has enough chrome and stainless steel accents. But I’ve had enough years of polishing and cleaning corrosion.
Good point. I applaud the black engine finish on mine as it's much more durable but I'd have liked chrome (polished alloy) wheel rims and a set of fork gaiters
Very nice review ! And based on the comments here , I’m convinced that this bike will meet my needs and expectations.
Now the trick is find one that’s available here in the States. I saw a couple that were in Meridan Blue and Tangerine, but that’s not my taste . I hope to find one in Blue/ White or Red /White
Great review... great bike .. love it...Ì want one...Cheers from New Zealand.
Hi great video I will definitely be buying a Triumph T100 I have one in mind but I have to wait until nearer the end of the month before I purchase it that’s if its still there
Are you invested heavily in a “sheet metal” company? Quite giddy about metals early on…hahaha. Beautiful bike! I’ve been looking at them over the last 2 weeks. Fighting the urge to order one. Well done EddieSetGo!
Yes, great review. I’ll be riding a t100 before too long.
Hi Eddie
Where have you been. All I have seen is very short promo clips unless the UT algorithm has been playing with me. Good to have you back. Hopefully more reviews in your unique style.
Regards
Den
Hi Denis! Thanks for reaching out. I’m still here! Just a few real-world challenges during December/January needed my focus. All looking better now and more bike reviews and updates will be coming soon :) I’m also over on Instagram if you’d like to connect there! instagram.com/_eddiesetgo
@@EddieSetGo good to hear.
It’s hard to decide between a bike like this and a modern one like a MT-09. Both have advantages and disadvantages and both are excellent.
It's not a hard choice if it's a true retro you're after.
My bike does 160 .
Yeah what ever.
In my day we got a bike for
Its looks .
Suzuki gs 1000 was faster
Than a kawazaki z1000.
But the kwak had the looks..
And so the z1000 is the legend.
Triumph Bonneville legend
Triumph Tiger legend
Buy this bike your riding history you got the looks.
Your FLYING THE FLAG.
MT yam...
Just another rice burner.
No Heritage..
Bonneville land speed record.
60s cafe racer legend.
70s us spec. T140V.
Another classic.
Rockers birds pints of beer
Roll ups..from Eddie Cochran to Motorhead.
Triumphs have history.
Ride this bike. You got a piece of it.......
@@Mr75044Flying the flag? Despite being plastered in union jacks, these things are made in Thailand. Yamaha have been building bikes since 1955; the company who makes the T100 since 1983. What’s that about heritage? It’s a load of marketing bollocks.
Just picked up a 2022 T100 Gold Line Edition -- I love the bike! Now I would like to install a camera system for my rides, and figure out how to mount my phone for easier access.
What are others doing for these features?
You keep going on about the metal, but what about the mudguards? They are plastic and the front one is too small to keep the mud off the radiator. A proper classic always had shiny metal mudguards and of full length.
Ahh good observation! My eyes tend to focus on the engine area and fuel tank. I guess you could swap the mudguards for metal ones?
The tank badge is also plastic
Rear mudguard (full length) is indeed steel. Front as you point out is plastic as are the side panels etc. But it's less to worry about. I took my rear mudguard off and gave it several coats of waxoil 👍
Great looking bike Eddie great attention to detail. Speedmaster my favorite in the range.
Thanks Jamie! :) Yeah the speedmaster looks special. I'm hoping to bring some more Japanese bikes to the channel soon!
@@EddieSetGo nice 1 Eddie great 👍
Awesome
Do you think the T100 would be a good choice for a beginner, early 50s, 6"3', avg weight...? Ehat specific options would you recommend?
Perfect. It is quite a small bike, but due to the flat bench seat can accommodate riders over a very wide heigjt
You've probably already bitten the apple. But I'd recommend a good used bike to learn on. I've ridden since I was in my late 20s. I learned on a used Suzuki 500. Rode it for probably 10 years. I'm a conservative rider, so a 500 was plenty fast enough for my needs. Never had a new bike. My second was a Honda CB 750 four. So I sold the Suzuki. Then I bought a Kawasaki 550 Ltd. That was my sons bike. Also used. U can find some premo used bikes for half the price of new. Now I have a 2005 t100. Decked out. I paid 3 grand for. It's in perfect condition. Good luck.
I own a T100 goldline. It has now 5000km. I really appreciate this bike, coming from an Africa Twin 1000 much too heavy now I'm 63. My only complaint is the noise and vibrations above 4k RPM. It Is a problem imo paricularly on twisty montain roads and in duo riding. Brakes are also a bit weak. I love everything else on this bike. I've tested the T120. Thé engine IS way better but this bike IS too expensive.
“These really are bad roads out here”
*laughs in South Africa*
I had been looking to purchase a RE Interceptor, but having now seen the Gold Line T100 I m
Re-evaluating…what’s your thoughts peeps?
Skip the T100 _and_ T120, and go straight for the Speed Twin. 🤩
I had the speed twin as a loan bike recently. Had great fun for two hours - it's a real hooligan especially in "Sport". I was glad to hand it back though. For me it was just a bit too much of everything. Within my capabilities of course (I've been riding over 40 years) but just too much for what I want at this stage of my life. If I had one I'd be riding like a hooligan again. The T100 is just enough though and I was very glad to have it back ❤️
@@PhilipBallGarry or change the Speed Twin sprockets to match the T120, which will slow it down a lot
Does anyone know why they got rid of the fork gators for 2021?. by the way the Triumph badge is plastic I put a magnet to it :)
Will it cruise at 75 or 80 mph on the hiway ok? Or does it tip the rpm to do so?
From what I've seen they do 110mph. So should be fine holding 75-80
what road was this filmed on ?
It´s a lovely lookin bike is this the one to have or maybe the T120 would the difference be very much ? for riding : )
T120 is slightly heavier but has twin front discs, cruise control (2020 onwards I think) and a lot more power. It also has 6 gears vs 5 on the T100. The handling is marginally slower due to the weight, especially on the front wheel due to the twin discs. But it's a lot more punchy at higher speeds. e.g. It still has power to spare at 70mph on a motorway.
Earlier T120's didn't have cruise control but did have a centre stand, rear grab handle and heated grips.
I went for the T120.
@@tnetroP The new T120 is awesome.
NZ
I tried both before deciding. Obviously your mileage may vary but I found the T100 better for me. Just enough of everything. Faster turn-in too due to less gyroscopic mass of twin disc set up. The 6th gear would've been nice but I think triumph left it out fir fear of it pinching too many potential T120 sales
This new engine or the t120? Quite more stuff does it worth the 1k? Or like 1.5k cad
For me it wasn't worth the extra £1k. I found the T100 plenty capable enough even two up. I can honestly say that even if the T100 and T120 were the same price I'd go for the.... who am I kidding it's he the T120 lol. That said, the fuel delivery on the T100 is butter smooth thanks to a single throttle body and careful mapping by Triumph. The T120 is a bit on/off jerky and hesitant at low speeds
Nice bike but not really a Triumph though the youngsters probably don't know what a real Triumph looks like these days. John Bloor bought the name only- not the company and developed his own bike from scratch. He even tried to distance himself from the original Triumph product at the start. Just so everyone knows- the original Triumph T100 was a 500cc parallel twin and was built by Triumph and not by the folks at Hinckley. .
If triumph care why oh why is there a rubbish headlight, for safety there should be an led headlight?
“Not pretending to be modern”? It’s pretending to be old 😂
My god what triumph have done to the t100 black out wheel 🎡 s etc just terrible 😔 cheep cheep look doing what BMW did to the mini
Boring video.
YES but the question is ?? DO YOU LIKE THE BIKE.??
