The sixties: You didn’t have to wear a helmet, there were no speed cameras, goggles looked cool and chewing bubble gum labelled you a tearaway. Adding subtle touches to the uncluttered Bonneville form, the T100 wears a little extra to mark its connection with the classic ‘deluxe’ speedster of the sixties.
Its full-blooded and responsive 865cc parallel twin-cylinder engine delivers throaty acceleration, amplified by the mellow backbeat from its twin peashooter exhaust pipes.
The T100’s chassis delivers secure road-holding, effortless steering and easy-going manners, as you’d expect of a motorcycle drawn from Bonneville stock. Likewise the powerful twin-piston calipers, operating on front and rear discs ensure excellent stopping ability.
The T100’s coachlines – gold for the Opal White and silver for the Tornado Red – are hand applied, with each craftsman initialling the underside of a completed tank.
The Bonneville T100 remains a timeless machine. Two up it’s a blast; made for trips to seaside cafes and country pubs.
The sixty8 range of accessories can also be fitted to the T100. |
