Triumph Bonneville America reviews

The Triumph Bonneville Bobber is a classic motorcycle, fun to ride, looks great on the road with great performance capability from its 1200 cc engine and water cooled. The Bobber stands out with its unique and stylish design that goes back to the retro Bobber bikes of the past. I have enjoyed riding it on the back roads of San Diego County. Show less

(is REALLY the same as a Speedmaster 865, what I've owned) This has been a great motorcycle all around, in every way, had very few corrective maintenance issues ever, in the 15 years of owning it, just regular preventive maintenance is all I've had to do 99% of the time, it's also good on gas yet is still very powerful and can BRAKE FAST ! 2 discs up front have PLENTY of stopping power. Never had any major issue mechanically, just wear Show less

Love my T120 Bonnie! Well built and great motorcycle for beginners and experienced riders. Great ride, low wind residence. Beautiful to ride and admire. Smooth ride. Great for joy riding. Not recommended if you want to ride cross country. Show less

Starts every time and sounds great for a parallel twin. Good power and handles nicely. Comfortable foot position for someone 6' tall. Nice array of parts to customize including performance parts. Overall a fun bike to ride. Show less

"Love this! Triumphs are comfortable cruisers." Last Model, DOHC Bonneville Parallel Twin Motor. If you like the style, you’re getting a temptingly decent amount of bike with the America LT. These are all the extras you get with the LT... Screen - Tall, plexiglass and being easily detachable via a pair of spring-loaded levers at each side of the screen. Panniers - Leather, retro-styled panniers are showerproof and cleverly fasten with quick release plastic clips underneath the cosmetic metal buckles. Back rest - Or ‘sissy bar’, adds comfort and security for any pillion passenger. Footboards - To complete the ‘bagger’ style the LT gets full-sized footboards, complete with a heel-toe gearchange.

+'s Good to Decent power, very easy to ride, great seating position, easy to flat foot with a 32in inseam, looks awesome, people will come up to talk to you about it all the time, chicks dig it, sounds awesome with aftermarket pipes, huge aftermarket to customize your ride. -'s Stock exhaust is not loud or cool enough, stock seat is borderline tortuous for longer rides, vibey above 70-75, throttle is a bit touchy, clutch take up takes a little getting used to, clutch lever is a 3 finger gig without adjustment, brakes are just adequate with the rear devoid of any feel, a lot of people will come up to talk to you about it. I was a returning rider after a 25 year hiatus and this has been a perfect fit for me. Easily maneuverable, fun amount of power without being scary, and it looks great. People come up to me all the time to tell me what a cool bike it is. Starts every time and everything works perfectly. Nothing like bikes of the 70's that I grew up with, but it has the same look/feel Show less

I love this bike. I am a sport tourer. I'm pushing 74 years old and my '07 Moto Guzzi Norge is starting to feel tall and heavy. I have a 28" inseam. This SE has a 29" seat. My only complaint is suspension (our roads in New England are pretty rough). I plan to install emulators in front and new (better) shocks in the rear. A windshield and center stand will be installed tomorrow. I rode it in the twisties in Vermont last week. It handles very nicely and has more than enough power. Throttle feel is great. Seating position is perfect for me. Gas mileage average for the first 900 miles is about 48 mpg. (hwy and back roads). Jim: Thanks for working with me in getting my bike purchased and shipped to Connecticut. Show less

I replaced a 2013 H-D Sportster with this 2014 Bonneville - no comparison. The T100 is way smoother, handles better, cruises along as low as 35 mph. in 5th gear, and accelerates right on up to 70 easily. I didn't take it any faster as it's only got 100 miles so far. It has a great paint job and I love the polished side covers and cam cover. I love it so far. Show less

I will be riding this bike a lot into my retirement years. I can't get enough, averaging 100 miles a day the first week. I have owned three 650 twins, albeit 35 years ago; this 865 cc is what we all wanted back then. It's powerful, smooth, quieter than the old bikes; coupled with today's tires, fuel injection and better electrics. I'm very satisfied with this bike and with the seller: staff at the shop was very easy to deal with. They phoned me with a price that I didn't refuse. Now I'm stoked to experience this type of machine once again. Show less

It's been 40 years since I owned a motorcycle! I did a lot of research and finally decided on the Triumph America! Thank you Triumph for building a quality motorcycle! Show less
