Not too many years ago I would not have been satisfied with the power. Now, at 67, I think I would be perfectly satisfied.

When I go into my garage I have to confess to feeling a real thrill at looking at my bikes. Almost all the bikes that I have owned in the past I wish I still owned.

Excellent review of aspects so often ignored by other motorcycle reviews!

I love the look of the T100 and enjoyed the real world logistical breakdown of your review. Again, quality and fun videos from TMF!!!

Love the two tone color. From what I understand Triumph used that same blue color in the 60's. Lovely indeed!

I agree with all your comments. Just did a test ride on one at the weekend. It looks like I’ll have a T100 bonnie in the garage very soon. I also had a test run on a T120. I think the T100 is the better balanced bike and looks more like the original bonnie. The T100 gearbox is silky smooth. I was really disappointed with the T120 by comparison. It is too heavy, has too many gears for such a torquey engine , and I suspect the crank shaft mass limits the pickup. The T100 by comparison is a way better all round design. That was a nice concise review and you were very pleasant to listen to. Very well done sir!

Good review. You’re very trusting and down to Earth. So makes me believe what you have to say. Nice work.

Nice touch at the end of the vlog. I'm sure you give all your bikes a hug at the end of each day. :-)

The scrambler is the Triumph to buy. That thing is gorgeous. Rumors are that Triumph will be coming out with a 1200cc Scrambler next year. That will be worth waiting and saving your cash for.

Out of all of the reviews I think that little hug of the bike at the end says it all. There’s always another bike we’d love to have but we love the bike/s we have. Ha! I totally get that.

I can binge watch your review videos anyday..👍. Great work, keep it up.

Great vlog ending... bikes like the Bonnie are heart purchases and the most pleasing to own in my experience Get one!! You know you want to 😉 Be interested to see what you think of the new Street. All the best from an old biker.

Beautiful in its simplicity .

It was a pleasure to see and get to know the T100, through your video's. Thank you. :-)

Another good video. Very informative in an un biased way. Well done sir.!!

My Bonneville. T100 Black (That I bought in December 2017 - New) returns a use of 3.5 ltrs / 100 Km is great.

Great vid thanks, went a long way in my decision process on buying the T100 Black last year. I added Triumph cruise, bar end mirrors, heated grips, minimalist grab bar and centre stand to mine. 8000 kms last season and really no squawks other than some inconsistencies from the digital fuel gauge. The issue is sort of resolved now that I gas up while on the side stand to really top up the tank and that appears to reset the sensor correctly. I do wish the bike would have come with an analogue gauge instead but that it!

Thanks for you fine videos - I've had mine now for just over 500 glorious miles. I do some commuting but mostly rides of an hour or so on backroads. The T100 is perfect for my use and it looks like the bikes I rode in the 70s. Cheers

Glad to see your not the only one that gives your bike a little cuddle 😜

Thanks TMF, I've been watching your vids for a while now, well before you and Delboy did that Q&A video. (I'm looking forward to that bike swap-you on his Harley and he on your adventure bike:-)) I'll be swapping my Thunderbird Storm with the T120 but after much deliberation and research, I'm now leaning more towards the T100. I don't think I'll be missing the riding modes, since I've never had them and I could get heated grips later on. And now that TEC figured out where the restriction came from, swapping the cam would give you the same HP and torque number as the T120, for a lot cheaper. Thanks again for the reviews geared towards the day-to-day riding instead of focusing on specification numbers. Keep up the good work and keep flying that sweet little airplane of yours. I would love to fly a single engine in the UK, you guys have some wonderful and lovely little airfields all over the country side. On one of my layover one of these days, I'll do that, right after visiting the Ace Cafe, of course. Cheers.

If you have the urge to hug your bike, it's probably a pretty nice bike. (I have that urge as well)

Nice little touch at the end there. Enjoying your work. Keep it up please!

This is a first class, living with the bike review . Five stars review in my book tks

I bought the 2018 street twin.❤️

Always enjoy your posts, thanks and keep 'em coming!

Thank you for advising / educating us on making a purchase (RE or T100) Fort Smith, Ar. USA

Thanks for your review. This is my dream bike and I am glad you gave it a good review. I especially liked the end of video when you hugged and kissed it goodnight. I know if I owned one I would be doing the same... Cheers..

Have had many many motorcycles absolutely love Triumph Motorcycles

TMF - You're the best! I'm sure you've sold a few T100's with these quality reviews! Keep it up!

Awesome review, but what truly sold it for me was the hugging of the bike at the end haha. That’s how you know it’s a proper bike.

I think Im going to pull the trigger today on a blacked out version. So much in love with this riding piece of British heritage (from a Dutch perspective) :-)

Can't believe I only just found this channel, another good review, clear, informative, and honest. I hated the mirrors too btw, they would have to go. Watching you lane split reminded me how disappointed I was when I emigrated to Canada 30 years ago and realized you couldn't do it here, probably safer in the long run though, trying to weave in and out on my F6B might be tricky. Thanks again.

Thankyou for the informative video! It really is a beautiful machine.

Excellent choice of downs. A North Face Nuptse, and Rab Micro Light Alpine.

Cool Idea of showing what it's like to ride/live with a Bonnie. Thank you.

Gorgeous colour. I saw one in the flesh yesterday and it really floated my boat.

Nice review as always mr flyer ,you are probably giving it back cleaner than when you picked it up;)

Very nice review. I owned a 1983 Suzuki GR650 which was a kind of tribute to Triump twins. Wonderful ride, very smooth through a great deal of the range, so well balanced that you could often keep ypur feet on the pegs at a stop sign. And, the flat tracker bodywork was nice looking, too. But, these Bonnevilles just seem like the ultimate and great bikes to own. Obviously.it's the real deal and a cut above those fun Suzukis. I'm sold. Great looking motorcycle, too.

As always a great balanced review, it is a lovely looking bike.

I love this review because the small practicalities really count! I wish I could keep my garage as neat and tidy as yours. Cleaning spoked wheels is never a problem I think. Just clean the rims and the hub and you find the spokes have become clean anyway. I wonder if you see chain drive as a negative spraying oil around the place? I know I like shaft drive bikes for their cleanliness and lack of maintenance but I'm not a high performance type. I confess I also like the direct feel of shaft drive bikes actually.

EMGO Cocktail shakers are amazing on all these bikes. I have a 05 carb America. and they are awesome!.

Thanks TMF, I really enjoyed this one, nice that you looked at ownership areas, a nice touch, looking forward to more of the same. Keep up the great work. Ride safe.

Got mine last month, the black version. I have to say i totally agree with your reviews, I even had the same reaction with the tank cap on my first stop to a fueling station, also the mirror issue is my no 1 problem with the bike, I did raise it with the dealer after a couple of test rides, he suggested the bar end ones, but he was not too enthusiastic about them :). I totally agree on the brakes as well. Anyways I am loving the bike for the moment although weather is not helping for longer rides I do enjoy small skirmishes on the occasional sunny days.

Thanks Flyer, Another great review. Ordered my T100 yesterday and now looking forward to early April. Agree with the V&H exhaust comment also thinking about a chrome grab rail/rack. Roll on summer........... Keep up the good work. Cheers.

The brief moment when you try to open the fuel tank at a gas station is the best summary of your professionalism. Maybe you will deal with the story about bicycles? Also an interesting topic and the devices less complicated.

That may be the best review I’ve ever seen. Thanks

Theres nothing i like more than a good old fettle in the garage.

I so appreciate your reviews! I hope you will keep making them

Nice review just bought a T100 “60” limited edition version

Great review. I liked the format you followed. Answers all my questions. Thanks

Really good review TMF, it's definitely on my list for a test ride. Cheers, Andy

Another great video. Thank you sir and many thanks for answering my question that soon. Many respects. Just waiting for more great vids

Of all of your videos that I've watched, so far, this is my favorite bike. I bought my twenty something year old son a 2010 Bonnie about five years ago and, since he has it at his house now, I really miss it. This T100 would look great sitting in my driveway. (along with my VMAX1200, Victory King Pin, 2006 XLS Roadster 1200, and Guzzi California.) Love that blue color, too....

A like your videos. I'm glad I found your channel.I like a bit of "bling" on bikes also

Very nice practical and down to earth review, based of having spent more than an afternoon with the bike. Good stuff and I really got a good feeling for how it's crept into your "must have" list.

The stock headlight on my US spec T120 was very poor on high beam. Your video gave me the idea of replacing it with the headlamp from the T100. Works great, thanks!

I thought I heard the Triumph wimpier a little after you left “please buy me”

I've got an 2004 T100 (bought 2005 - best bike I've ever owned) and the brakes are shit - good to see nothings changed!!

I had the Triumph Bonneville America, and absolutely loved it. On sunny Sunday rides I really miss it (not that we get many in Scotland lol), and like you, would love spending an hour or so polishing all the chrome.

I like the analog speedo and tach. I don't think I can ever get used to the new LCD displays. Thanks for the review.

Great review - nice to have the "real world" view, not just the sunny day / track day kind

Love the way you gave your bike a hug before you signed off it's something I do myself I reckon you might have one in the garage in the next 6 months.

What a balanced review ! Hats off - in India where I live, this is a much respected and admired bike , yes we still love British machines ( not that there are many British brands left now )

top to bottom when you wipe down! have a separate towel for tthe dirty parts. beautiful bike! keep it looking goood for us haha

I REALLY WANT the 100 the 120 or the Speedmaster.... Thank you for the quick review. This 100 seems like a perfect semi-affordable choice. Be safe and keep up the good work.

Another great Vlog . Looking forward to the Street Triple review. Personally I think Triumph have served up an ace by giving a real world bike enthusiast a bike to review long termish. Those little (but significant) details like fuelling up and cleaning are so important to us everyday riders. Professional magazines journalists (who often get bikes to review a lot longer) never mention stuff like that and personally I think that's what potential buyers want and need to know. Don't get a new job too soon, I'm really enjoying all your extra video's. And yes I too give my bikes a hug now and again. Nothing wrong with man cave love in😀.

Just bought me one of these for the missus. 2019 model with bar-ends and heated grips. She loves these old style roadsters.

So many nice bikes out there for 2017. 😀

Great review!! Love the different things you looked at as opposed the usual reviews! Shame you have to give it back but hope it makes another appearance soon! Nice job :)

I was seriously looking at the big brother to that one - the T120 (Black) - looked through all the reviews - checked out all the specs. - did all the comparisons to others of the same ilk - BUT didn't quite get around to having a test ride (a bit pricey AUD$19,000) - before getting myself a Triumph Bonneville America Cruiser (second hand). Love my bike - handles really well - and honestly - with my wife as pillion - I hardly notice the difference - she sits well on the back seat and enjoys the ride. Thanks TMF. Great review.

Nice bike and good video friend.

Machine! Pumping out the vids lately! Great work keep it up!

Use compressed air to blow off the engine, under the fenders, tight spaces after you dry off the bike with the towel.

Uma das mais Linda's do seguimento

Greetings from new Zealand, planning to get a triumph for my next bike, great review

I do like the T100 but its the Bobber thats caught my eye. Great video again, thanks.

Another excellent, thorough, review, as usual. I did have an opportunity to sample the bike; however, my time with it was very brief. I find it a nice bit of nostalgia, with good detailing. On the other hand, it is underpowered, particularly when compared to machines such as the Street Triple. It will certainly appeal to the replica crowd. In my case, I was riding 50 HP bikes thirty (30) years ago; consequently, neither the T100 nor the T120 are my cup of tea. Obviously, this is just a personal sentiment. I hope Triumph remains profitable.

Nice job TMF, you deffo have a knack for the whole 'presenting' thing, enjoyable to watch and informative. Brakes aside when will you get yours😎????

Go on make a rash decision, you know you want to!

I think you should buy one , it looks really nice weekend bike. Great vid keep them coming mate.

Love that colour scheme, it suits the bike perfectly, for me the exhaust as heard through your clip sounds spot on as well, it seems to have a beautiful bass undertone that says "I mean business" without being all brash. Could the hard brakes be a result of the ABS interfering with the hydraulics? I've found on my car that pulling the ABS fuses out changes the braking characteristics dramatically, for the better I might add. Beautiful bike, straight forward revue, you've sold me. It's either a T100 or a street twin. Ray

Thank You for that Review. Great! Brutally beautiful Bonneville!

Does look good in your garage and definitely the best colour. Funny how most reviews that put the T down can only say it's not that quick ! when that's not what it's about anyway. I'm always dubeuis how good the quality of chrome is on things these days, especially bikes ! only time will tell and how well it's looked after really. Cheers

Good night sweet Bonnie! Silly you! :-) Lovely review actually. Love the every-day-owner-bit. Good thinking!

Clever review. Thank you from USA!!

Many thanks for all the excellent reviews really helpful. The one question I have is I still see many comments about the T100 being underpowered. Although you don't really seem to agree, where would you say the T100 is most lacking in power. I am a reasonably lightweight rider about 70 kg and most riding is on country A or B roads - obviously this is not the bike to set land speed records (not what I am after) but I do want something that will be able to take an overtaking opportunity without needing to see miles ahead of straight road. many thanks and keep up the good work!!

Looking forward to riding this and the Bobber and maybe the street twin on the next Triumph demo day!

First one of your videos I have watched mate. Very entertaining and honest. Thanks alot. Have you reviewed the new Street Twin?

Interesting what you say about the brakes - I've never been keen on single front discs, (OK I know I'm getting a RE!) the T120 has twin discs and whilst good I wouldn't say they are brilliant. I seriously hope your other bikes won't develop emotional problems in future at being neglected of bedtime cuddles! You big softy! (Ok I've done it too!) The quality/resolution of your vids is amazing. Regards, Jon.

Very beautiful sound and bike. I have old modal same bike 1968

Great review, having the opportunity to spend a little time with the bike adds a lot more value to any review, all credit to Triumph for that. I wonder if a change in pad material might help improve the braking ?

Nice job reviewing a very cool bike. Cheers from the USA.

Great practical review. Brilliant

Thanks for the series of videos for this bike, as I've said before, I think it is so important to have a relatively honest and unbiased review and the real world practicality of ownership is great. One thing I am always very interested to hear about is how bikes fair against the lovely British weather, so I'd be keen for you to include this in your reviews - is the build quality good, which parts maybe prone/showing signs of rust, etc. Please, please, please, can you review the new Street Scrambler?

Good proper real world review. Excellent stuff.

very useful info and comments, thanks !

A really nice review of this bike. It looks really lovely. I haven't been able to ride the T100 but I did ride the Street Twin. The street twin I found to be radically different from the street triple. The Twin felt very smooth, soft and relaxed. But it really didn't like to get ridden hard. The suspension was too soft, the brakes hard to control and for some reason it was quite hard to lean over after exceeding a certain threshold. It could be that the leaning in bit was related to these Phantom inspired tires. So much so that it actually scared me. So to me it felt like the polar opposite to the street triple. At least to me the streety seems to be more happy when ridden fairly hard, and just a bit inpatient when just cruising along. :)

Loved your review. I am 6'1 and planning on getting my first bike and Triumph has stolen my heart. I have ridden some 150 cc bikes and want to get a Triumph now. I was oscillating between the T100 Bonneville and the Speedmaster, but mostly based on the look and the feel only- you know, the emotion that the look evokes. What would you suggest? I saw your reviews of both and you seem to like both in good measure. I am not looking at excessive daily riding. It would be sort of a mix between city rides and occasional intercity touring. What would be comfortable for a person my size? What else should I keep in mind before making the investment. (The cost factor does make me lean toward the T100, naturally, but I was not sure if it would be comfortable for a person my size.) Trial ride is not that easy as Triumph doesn't have a dealership in my city and will have to go to another city for that. Cheers from India!

Great review! Make sure you hear the Vance and Hines in person before you buy them. Other people that have reviewed them seem to be disappointed with how loud they are not to mention how expensive they are. And to be honest, I think the factory pipes look better. You will see the difference if you put them side by side.

Enjoyed that. I've said it before but these bikes don't do it for me so it's a testament to how good the video is that I watched it to the end. Will never ride or buy one of these but I still like to watch. I know the Daytona is knocking on a bit now but with chitter chatter of a replacement in the pipe line it might be a good time to discuss Triumph sport bikes astride the current Daytona?
