The Triumph Bonneville is one of motorcycling's most famous names, first used in 1959 for the twin-carburettor T120. When the original Meriden factory closed, Les Harris built a small run of 744cc Bonnevilles under licence between 1985 and 1988. After Triumph's rebirth at Hinckley, the name returned in 2001 on an air-cooled parallel twin that recreated the look of the 1960s originals with modern reliability. Capacity grew from 790cc to 865cc, and fuel injection arrived in 2008.
These Bonnevilles are classic roadsters with an upright riding position, a comfortable seat and gentle, torquey power. In 2016 Triumph replaced them with an all-new liquid-cooled generation, including the 1,200cc Bonneville T120 and the 900cc T100 and Street Twin. Rivals include the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, Kawasaki W800 and Moto Guzzi V7.
