Bonneville Black

AUTHENTICITY WITH MODERNITY

A true roadster in every sense of the word, the Bonneville matches classic British style to 21^st century technology. This pairing of authenticity with modernity has led the Bonneville to become an icon in its own right with several designers, such as Paul Smith and Patrick Cox, creating their own signature tank designs.   

Taking many cues from Triumph’s history – the original was first manufactured in 1959 – the Bonneville has found real relevance today as an honest, simple and useful roadster that looks stunning as standard or can be personalised as desired. Triumph’s own sixty8 range of accessories, including hand crafted laptop bags and iPod holders, have proved very popular, enhancing the Bonneville’s status as a style statement. 

The Bonneville’s air-cooled, parallel twin-cylinder 865cc engine offers a simple, timeless look with modern engineering techniques. Both of the engine’s pistons rise and fall together – via a 360° crankshaft firing interval – so the classic feel and character of a British twin-cylinder engine is retained, while twin balancer shafts provide modern-day civility and refinement. Ninety percent of peak torque – a very healthy 71Nm (52ft.lbf) at 6,000rpm – is maintained from around 2,500rpm through to the redline providing smooth and effortless acceleration in any of the five gears.  

The Bonneville’s low seat height (775mm/30.5inches) and similarly low centre of gravity, unchanged for 2008, make it a manageable motorcycle that all riders – ranging from those with little experience to those with lots – can appreciate. The tubular steel double cradle frame and box-section swing arm are incredibly strong and the relaxed steering geometry allows composure at speed as well as ensuring the Bonnie needs only light input at the handlebars.

 The Bonneville’s road holding, handling and stopping ability is crisp, composed and confidence inspiring. The braking set-up of single front 310mm disc and 255mm rear, both worked on by powerful twin-piston calipers offers sensitivity and control. 

 The Bonneville is a great way to cover the urban landscape thanks to its agility in congested city streets, while its perfect open road manners make it equally at home blatting down a leafy country lane on a Sunday ride out. It has a pedigree that few models can match plus a tangible credibility within today’s motorcycling world. All of which makes the Bonneville as relevant today as it’s always been, perhaps even more so.
