Triumph revamps the 2009 Bonneville lineup for the model’s 50th anniversary and we dare saying from the very beginning that it is their best one yet. The facts backing this affirmation up consist in both the addition of a fuel injection system for the legendary powerplant as well as the introduction of two all-new models apart from the T100 one.
Although the British motorcycle manufacturer was keen on retaining the original 1960s look of the Bonneville, the New and SE models are both modern interpretations of their old timer’s sibling and, of course, they feature the same engine.
This year Triumph celebrates 50 years from when the first Bonneville was produced and in order to mark the half of century of existence on roads around the world, the British manufacturer has created two brand new limited edition models, one designed by Belfast, and the other by Ewan McGregor.
The first is black painted and features gold pinstriping and Triumph announced to sell a few models till the end of this year.
The second one is copper-plated and the fact that Ewan McGregor designed it makes it one off and will be auctioned for raising funds for UNICEF.
It seems that the model that has taken the Triumph name around the world never stops bragging about its great and long existence and we can say it once again: “It’s a Bonneville!”
Triumph adds another VIP to the fanbase! Actor Ryan Phillipe recently purchased a Bonneville in black. He joins a growing list of actors, actresses, musicians and artists who own and actively ride Triumphs.
Ryan Phillipe has had starring roles in many movies, including I Know What you did Last Summer, Cruel Intentions and Crash. > More
Luxury goods maker, Davidoff, has released a new fragrance called Adventure. The advert for this is now on You Tube and features Ewan McGregor riding a Triumph Bonneville.
The advert has had more than 7200 people watching as McGregor rides his Bonneville around the forests of Brazil. This is a fantastic advert that shows that Triumph’s really are the coolest bikes around and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery that goes along with it!
Some will call it Triumph’s best motorcycle and others will ask you how many decades ago it was manufactured, but it will surely not pass unnoticed. After all, the Triumph Bonneville is the most successful English motorcycle of all times. > More
Adding subtle touches to the unclutttered Bonneville form, the T100 roadster wears a little extra to mark its connection with the classic speedster of the sixties. And a little extra spice, too. The T100’s new, full-blooded, 865cc, air-cooled, parallel twin-cylinder engine gives a throaty performance echoed by the mellow backbeat from its twin pea-shooter exhaust pipes. Deep-chromed engine covers add lustre while the tachometer, flanking the speedometer, marks out the revolutions. > More
A modern day roadster with a tangible connection to the classic style of times gone by, the Bonneville mixes timeless British engineering with modern technology and thinking. The result is captivating. As befits such an honest machine, at the core of the Bonneville is a sonorous and instantly recognisable 790cc, air-cooled, twin-cylinder engine. Laden with character - and with a distinct kick in its power delivery - the Bonnie engine entertains as much as it transports. > More
