Triumph T100 (2005 - 2016)

The Hinckley-built Bonneville T100 helped define the modern retro motorcycle boom. Triumph revived the spirit of the classic Bonneville with a parallel-twin machine that looked familiar, felt approachable and avoided the oil leaks, temperamental starting and maintenance demands associated with many older British twins.

The T100’s importance lies in its balance of nostalgia and usability. It did not try to be a superbike or a heavyweight cruiser; instead, it offered simple proportions, an upright riding position and heritage styling in a dependable modern package. That formula became one of Triumph’s great modern strengths.
