Besides being uncomfortable, the other thing I dislike about hard-core sport-bikes is that the fairing covers up the engine giving all the sport-bikes a cookie-cutter look. One thing that is nice about naked bikes, Harleys and the new Bonneville line is that they put the 'MOTOR' back in the motorcycle. The visual and visceral look of a motorcycle engine is one of it's most attractive elements, and one of it's strong selling points. Ultimate horsepower is not really relevant these days on public roads since there is always a faster bike and a race-track is required to enjoy their capabilities. Eighty to 100 hp is more than enough to scare the crap out of you on the back-roads and cruise at high speeds on the highway. Looks, comfort, sound, feel, and a torquey engine are a winning combination for the rider and for manufacturer sales volume.

Great review, thanks brother. As the owner of a 2012 T100 Anniversary (which I adore) the first thing I, and others I'd assume, want to know is does the increase in displacement bring with it more vibration?? No mention of that at all in the test, being vibration sensitive it's extremely important to me. Congratulations for being 1st to the Tube with some info on the new Bonnie!! Cheers...

even though its torquey the actual power output is too much on the modest side for the size of the engine............a power output of 120 bhp would still be modest and allow the engine not to be peaky........the black would only look good till the first dirty road then the cleaning woud drive you nuts............my pick would be the T120 with the chrome peashooter exhausts, thruxton r suspension and a nice crisp 120 bhp

it is a 1200 which you normally wouldn't want to recommend to start on. However, this one feels quite nimble and is not frightening, but it also isnt lacking character or power. A good alternative is the new Street Twin which is also very nice, probably better suited for beginners, but not really that much different from the t120.

I really like most of the new Triumphs and especially these but why does everyone assume that these new bikes are connected in any way with the original Triumph motorcycles because they're just not. Les Harris agreed to sell the name to John Bloor but the logo had to be changed slightly. This is a new bike, new design, new factory, new designers, new crew and could just as well have been called a Kawasaki! I keep hearing reference to the old Bonny; there only ever was one Triumph Bonneville and these new bikes aren't them. It comes down to simple plagiarism, nothing more and nothing less and it's really annoying!
