2009 Triumph
Bonneville T100
MSRP $8,799
The Bonneville T100 recaptures the classic 60's styling with a wide selection of features. Two tone paint, spoked wheels, fork gaiters, twin 'peashooter' style exhaust silencers, chrome engine covers and black instrument surrounds complete that classic look. Like all 2009 Bonnevilles, the T100 benefits from the latest incarnation of Triumph's legendary 865cc parallel twin, which is now fuel injected. This bike will not only stop people in their tracks, but with disc brakes front and rear, it will stop you nicely too. This is without a doubt a modern motorcycle for the classic rider.

I've got 6000 kms on my 2009 T100. Had a minor charging issue in the first year but it was quickly sorted by my dealer.
Engine is great; enough power to be fun, not so much that it becomes unwieldy. The tranny is great especially once you can switch out to synthetic oil.
The suspension is my only sore point. Over rough roads at medium to higher speeds there is less compliance and which can be unsettling.
The build quality is amazing. People have told me how great it looks, that I did a great restoration. To me, there is no better compliment.
