After owning several British Bikes in the 60's and 70's I had a great love for them when they were right. However these machines usually required a lot of repair and vibrated with a vengeance. My last British Bike was a 1975 Triumph Trident and it drove me crazy keeping it running. I said NEVER will I buy another British Bike and fell under the power of Far East reliability. These bikes however lacked the style and handing of the British products and I found myself trading often to try to recapture the feel the Triumphs had to no avail. I fell in love with the new T100 and can say from experience they got this one right. I love this bike and wouldn't hesitate to buy British now.

I've been living with my '03 Bonneville for over 2 years now and love it now as much as the day I bought it. First off, these bikes won't satisify those who are into the "tupperware". If you appreciate the art of cycling and the classics, the new Bonneville dove tails right into that catagory. It is truly a modern classic. Personally, I've own/owned or restored classic BSA's and Triumph's and currently still have an Enfield Bullet. The new Bonneville is better then them all hands down-end of story. Now, whats there to like? First is the attractive styling modeled after the '68-'70 Bonneville which by most accounts were the pinicle of the lot. Bench seat (check), 360 degree parrell twin (check),twin shock swinging arm (check) everything made out of metal (side covers, fenders, headlamp shell) (check all the basics that drove the industry through the golden age are here. The engine runs great and is quite strong once opened up with exhaust changes. Handling is superb!

I own and ride several old British motorcycles my favorite being a 1963 BSA Super Rocket. Nothing turned my head until I saw a cobalt blue T-100 Bonnie at the Atlanta Show in December of 2002.

I own and ride several old British motorcycles my favorite being a 1963 BSA Super Rocket. Nothing turned my head until I saw a cobalt blue T-100 Bonnie at the Atlanta Show in December of 2002. I HAD TO HAVE IT. I sold my beautiful 1975 Norton 850 Interstate Commando, bought the Bonnie and never looked back. When describing it I always remark "It is my Norton with everything fixed". My son was Thunderbird #1 in 2002 and 2003. Most memorable ride: From Royston, Georgia to Miami, Florida to watch the Thunderbirds perform. Never got it under 80 MPH indicated on the Interstate and never even had to tighten the chain. I installed the offroad mufflers and the performance improved and it sounded less like a vacuum cleaner. I recently installed Norman Hyde Muffelers and now it sounds like a vintage Truimph FROM THE 60'S, and from 5500 RPM to Red line, "HOLD ON". THEY ARE MESSING WITH MY HEAD HOWEVER, the 2005 Bonnie has 65 more CC. I just rode a Thruxton with the high Bars installed and fell in love all over again. Only complaint: Speedo error. I figure when I am showing 80 it is actually doing about 72 mph. Re-placed Rear tire at 7,300.00 miles OK. One warranty issue, oil sender developed a slight leak, dealer replaced no questions asked. This Bonnie T100 is the best handling, best riding motorcycle I have ever owned and I have owned a few starting with an Indian Brave in 1955.

When looking for my first street bike I wanted something with a classic look and standard riding position. I stumbled on the new Triumphs and fell for the Bonnie right away. I just loved the vintage character and the fact you don't see them everyday. After a test drive I was hooked. What pleases me most is the ease with which it handles. I have no problems in corners, slow speeds or on the highway. I never feel like I need to wrestle with the bike to make it do what I want. (Although I am a little larger than the average bear) I'm not looking to set land speed records so the stock engine/exhaust is all I need. Thought about doing some mods but can think of better ways to spend the money. Still, even without mods it holds its own against most street bikes and handles as well, or better, than any cruiser. Someday I may look to go bigger but this bike does everything I want/need at this point. It's the most fun I've had with my boots on!

I recommend the T100 that just likes to hop on and go it looks great handles great and with the D&D Exhaust is sounds great as well. Ride it you will like it!
