2009 Triumph Bonneville T100
 
Riders looking for a Sixties-style Bonneville are
catered for with the wire-wheeled T100 model, which
has been updated with some minor detail changes for
2009.
Adding subtle touches to the uncluttered Bonneville
form, the T100 wears a little extra to mark its connection
with the classic ‘deluxe’ speedster of
the Sixties. The T100’s full-blooded and responsive
865cc parallel twin-cylinder engine delivers throaty
acceleration, amplified by the mellow backbeat from
its twin peashooter exhaust pipes. Maximum power of
68PS (67bhp) arrives at 7,500rpm, with peak torque
of 69Nm (51ft.lbf) delivered at 5,800rpm.
The chassis – a tubular steel frame, 41mm
telescopic forks and chromed twin rear shocks –
offers secure road-holding, effortless steering and
easy-going manners, just as you would expect of a
bike derived from Bonneville heritage. Likewise the
powerful twin-piston calipers operating on front and
rear discs ensure excellent stopping ability.
Completing the T100 are a tachometer, rubber knee
grips and chromed engine covers. Accessories available
for the T100 include classic chromed extras such as
a front mudguard, side stand and cam cover, as well
as practical additions like the fly screen and tank
bag. The retro classic gets new handlebar clamps,
restyled footrests, black clock surrounds and a white
Triumph logo on the seat, while fork gaiters, previously
available as an optional extra, come as standard.
The comprehensive range of accessories can also be
fitted to the T100 for an even more individual look.
The elegant two-tone paint options for 2009 include
Jet Black with a Fusion White infill, Claret with
an Aluminium Silver infill and Forest Green with a
New England White infill, all of which come with a
gold coach line. The T100’s coach lines are
all skilfully hand applied, with each craftsman initialling
the underside of a completed tank.
