I have a 2013 T100 with the TORS mufflers. Great sound. I am 63 years old and have owned 20+ motorcycles. This is BY FAR the greatest all-rounder I have owned. It does literally everything well. It's got decent power and it handles like a dream. It's smooth and comfortable (with one exception). The rear shocks are pretty poor. I replaced them with a set of Hagons from British Customs. It will cruise at 80 all day long. (I did go up a tooth on the front sprocket). But I just have to point out something glaringly wrong with this guys demo ride. His front forks are sagging BADLY. They are not properly setup. But instead of a bunch of fuss, just spend the 100 bucks for Progressive springs and be done with it. In summation, with these mods, best bike I've ever owned. Progressive springs, Hagon shocks, factory TORS mufflers (identical style as original), K&N filter, one tooth larger up front, mini turn signals, and an ignition switch move kit to the instrument panel. It's a lifetime keeper. Oh, and the engines are built like tanks. Way over engineered. Should last forever.

I'm 64 years young, I've owned three Triumph Bonnevilles. 650 four speed , a 650 5 speed, and a 750 5 speed. Especially with the 750 bonny I never raced a Harley that I didn't blow off. I had TT straight pipes, Mucuni carbs, flat tracker seat and tank & bars, I could stand up on that bullet seat and do wheelies in second gear for a quarter mile. My idol growing up was Evel Knenvel. Best bike I ever owned and I've owned 24 different bikes!!

[@Gringo_In_Chile]

Hey Sean, When I purchased my new 2015 air cooled Bonnie T100, I had the choice to wait for the water cooled models that were arriving in less than 6 months. I thought long and hard about it and decided that the AC T100 was the way to go. Man, am I glad it did. In arriving to this decision, some of the things I considered were: Large selection of aftermarket products available right now, The extended user knowledge base of this model, and the bike being more true to its heritage. Now don't get me wrong, the new Bonneville line of Triumphs are are great, (dual discs up front, not needing 15 minutes to get under your seat, and a fuel gage (what a concept)). A good friend of mine decided to wait it out for the T120. Now that I have experience with both models, I have to say that most of this videos comments ring true. Cheers, Ken

[@lewsoltis5142]

I own a 2016 Bonneville T 100. Everything you said about the bike is true. It’s fun and even Harley owners have given me the thumbs up at red lights. Great video!!!

[@Bricklinsv1970]

I used to Own a Triumph Adventurer. My experience with Triumph is very good quality and reliable. I would love to get a Bonneville! I have a Honda Shadow 1100 Spirit now.

[@TheGoodwolfe]

I agree, the Bonneville is unique, one of kind, great as first & last bike too! I grew up in the 60's loving the Bonnevilles, BSA Lightnings, & Norton Commandos, but it was Triumph Bonneville that was my dream bike. I finally got a '07 in 2010, last carbureted model, added slash pipes and now it's perfect. No matter what else I buy, I'll never sell the Bonney.

[@normcote270]

Triumphs are AWESOME!!! I've had always had one on my garage since 1975, my latest is a 2011 Rocket 3 Roadster I bought new, I love it!!! 💙

[@neilleach5249]

"Parallel twin" refers to the cylinder arrangement, not the firing order. My '04 Bonneville has 360° firing, which gives a power pulse with each crank revolution. I'm pretty sure a '15 has 270° timing. The only reason Triumph went to 270° timing was to give a slightly lumpier exhaust note. Roll-on and peak horsepower are essentially the same. My '04 was my 15th bike going back to a 1974 Yamaha RD350 bought new in '75. I bought the Bonneville to be my last bike. Since '04 I have had zero reason to think that decision was wrong. If you get stupid and toss the bike you will feel the weight when you try to pick it up. Other than that, no problem. I only wish it had two things : a 6th gear and a kick starter. Fine review. Keep rocking the beard. Be safe - cage drivers do.not.see.us.

[@peva7945]

Indeed, and an inline twin has one cylinder in front of the other, not alongside it.

[@michaelmorley331]

You are correct about e gine and firing order..

[@danield831]

Sean repeatedly stresses that this is a beginner's, or entry level bike. When you pigeon-hole and typecast a bike it is not only a disservice to the bike but a disservice to the rider! Please don't do that. I have been an avid motorcyclist for almost 35 years. I have 2016 Triumph Bonneville T100. I can tell you that it is every bit as engaging, fast, dynamic, and nimble as any bike I've ever owned!! And I've owned many different bikes some of which were much bigger and more powerful than this. Also from a marketing standpoint it would be in your interest to reach a broader audience than just "beginners" and it would not be a misleading thing to say that it's suitable for any level of riding experience. This bike is simply a thrill and a joy to ride!! Just some food for thought.

[@superglidefletch8003]

Sean saw the bike this past weekend and i want to thank Caleb for allowing me to try it out. Everything you say on the video is so true about the bike. It is so cool and enjoyable to ride and so beautiful to look at. Trying to convince my wife about purchasing it. I would love to own it and have it side by side with my Kawasaki Vulcan S. Loved your shop and the kindness that Caleb showed my wife and I. God Bless

[@ImnotgoingSideways]

I put my 2001 Bonnie on pre-order the moment I heard about it. I'm still enjoying it to this day.

[@olddirtbiker5088]

My feelings exactly about the 2016 T100 I just bought. Not too much bike for a road noobie like me. Would have preferred a 2018 with water cooling and ABS but not a big deal and couldn't pass up this one with Hagon shocks, progressive springs and lots of other upgrades. Quality build, EFI, throttle by wire, great sound. The single disc up front is fine. Feels a little heavy if you lean it over when stopped but not when moving. I wish it had a 6th gear like the T120, but not all that important. Great bike.

[@57eleven1]

My 2013 T-100 was my first bike off the showroom floor. I didn’t start riding motorcycles until I was 51 years old and this is the bike I bought. Yes, I still own it and it’s definitely my forever bike. I’ll hit the 70k mark this week. I’m about 350 miles shy. Then, September 3rd, I leave for my yearly solo motorcycle trip through the southeast. Mostly the Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountains. I’ll leave Orange Beach, AL. and ride through Alabama, of course, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tenn, SC, NC, Georgia, Florida and back home. About 2,500 more miles. I know a lot of guys ride much more than that but so many hardly come close to that. I’m 61 years old. If I lose all I’ve worked for my whole life they won’t get my motorcycle. I’ll buy a tent and keep on going. Yes, it was my first bike and definitely my last! I’ll NEVER sell it. I have decided when I get to 100k I get to buy a new bike BUT it’ll be a side gig. I regret not riding when I was younger but I’m trying to make up for it! It’s the greatest thing, other than family and things like that, that I’ve ever found. Thx for your channel! I always enjoy it Godspeed 🙏🏻 Peace ✌🏻😎

I own a 2014 Bonneville T100 and I love it. Just de neutered it by removing AI, O2 sensors, adding a bellmouth inlet, Emgo shorties, and an ECU map from Triumph Twin Power. Now she jumps off the line, no snatchy throttle, and she actually has mid range torque. Mileage is the same, around 42mpg. Again, I LOVE my Bonneville sooo much. Best bike ever.

This is a fun, and funny, video. At 63, not having ridden in decades, and just entered into semiretirement, I just picked up a 2013 T100 with a mere 2.4K miles on it for $5K. It has a few inconspicuous score marks low on one pipe, but is otherwise in new condition. I've barely ridden it yet, around the 'hood only, but for the "artwork" aspect alone (Fusion White/Carnival Red), the neighbors should thank me for parking it my driveway!!

Great channel Sean and I agree with all you say about this bike and the T120.

[@markmath2883]

I have a 2014 T100 red on black with fenders painted with red stripe. I installed Progressive’s shocks and fork springs, a solo seat with rack, waxed cotton saddlebags, a Dart screen and have a small adjustable shield for longer rides. I also have a ‘97 Valk, ‘94 BMW R1100RS and ‘09 BMW R1200RT, so more power doesn’t interest me. I like the simplicity of the T100 and it has no problem keeping up with the big bikes. As the curves get tighter, the big bikes have a hard time keeping up with me. If I had to go down to one bike, I think it would be T100. The BMWs are expensive to maintain, I love the Valkyrie, but I am 67 and finding the 700 lb. bike a chore pushing around the garage.

This bike is light and nimble than T120, which means that it is really good in the twisties and maneuverable in heavy traffic too . This is a dual purpose bike . You can do commuting and touring on this bike too . The power is adequate and it is not scary to ride like a sports bike . It's calm and soothing to your mind . Perfect for cruising along the highway at 100 or 120kmph . It doesn't have a a sixth gear but it won't make you crave for the 6th gear coz power is evenly distributed all across the revband . I would buy this and spend the extra money to modify the bike for touring a little bit rather than spend all your money on the T120 which gives power at the cost of handling nimbleness and ease of riding.

[@Fernando90054]

Yes, it rides like butter smoothness. I have the T120 and I think she’s my last bike and she is a keeper as you said. There’s something very special about it…can’t define why but I know it is. I have ridden a lot of other bikes , other Triumph bikes too and none has felt so well to ride like the T120. I tested the Thruxton. Yes it is an excellent bike but in terms of top end you automatically compare with other bikes and lose interest. I’ve ridden the speed twin, which is also a very capable bike, but again we tend to compare it with other bikes we’ve ridden and again, you loose interest. But the T120 or the T100, I don’t really know the reason you don’t think about any other bike. I didn’t. There was none to compare it to. She has things of personality that immediately tell you about unique sensations. At least it was what surprisingly happened with me. I felt very amused taking the bike out and enjoying the particular way of cornering with it. Of breaking and stopping with it. Didn’t felt special in a technical way but on a specific and pleasant way. Different from all the rest. Not because of its efficiency, because I ride other bikes that at an efficiency level are better…so, what the hell is there? Still can’t say. I just can say that everything, but seriously, everything feels right about the ride with this machine. And that my friends, I can’t define exactly why or what it is. I just know it!✌️✌️✌️

[@muzz3564]

Sorry. Gotta say. An inline twin is the same as a parallel twin. Firing order makes no difference. If they both fire together it's a 360°firing order,some are 180°,the Bonnie has a 270°firing order.....but an inline is a parallel twin. 👍

For some reason, you finished the video at the half way mark on the tape. Great video too, by the way! Triumphs are awesome bikes! They always have been that way.! Back in the 60s, when I was in high school, a friend of mine had one. It was a 650cc back then, but it had enough power and high compression that it took a real man to kick it on! Those were the days of kick starters, and no sissy -boy ever owned one of them. Guaranteed! Ask Clinton Eastwood or Steve McQueen or any other actor that rode one on set!! Steve McQueen owned one for reals and made them famous in America !The newer one has a lot more improvements and still looked the same as the 650s did back in the kick start days! A rider can't go wrong with a Triumph in his garage! Triumph has still kept its place in their corner on the market to this day, because of those two actors riding them in movies... They are awesome and also very good looking bikes to own!!

David Greve: First I must say that I agree, Trumpets are great bikes and I would take one any day over owning another Hardly Runningson. Just wondering why you wrote Clinton Eastwood? Nobody says that and if you are going to use his whole first name why stop there? You should add the Jr after it. Or, instead of saying Steve McQueen you should write Terence Steven McQueen. Mixing formal and informal is off-putting and sounds, well, ignorant...so does saying, "McQueen owned one for reals" where are you from that you say that? It makes you sound incredibly stupid, or like you are trying too hard to sound cool when you are not.

I always liked the looks of Triumphs, but even where I live, the ratio of HD dealers to Triumph dealers is probably 15:1. And I just find it strange that the rider's legs keep the bike going rather than hands on the bars. I grew up riding dirt bikes, so I can imagine a first encounter with a bike like a Triumph is comparable to meeting the girl that's a super crazy person you wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, but ten years later you're married to her & love her above anything before in your entire life (that actually happened to me - LOL!).

[@salpairadice]

Yes, its like that, including dudes staring at her as you go by. Like somehow getting most beautiful girl, but you find out she's really the most coolest awesome person and she gives you good motorcycle all the time. I've had one of these for over 10 years now, love her so much, I have 2 other great bikes. But the T100 is THE ONE , will be my last bike, never selling her. Also, knee pads are the most natural thing for street riding where unlike dirt you lock into the bike and use your body leverage in curves.

The stock catalytic converter mufflers weigh down the bike, soak up the power and make the poor new Bonnievilles sound like a toy. With the B.C. Sleeper exhaust you get much more hp, bring the weight down closer to 450 lbs and best of all, let the new bikes produce the classic, sweet sound of the original Triumph Bonneville.

it seems better than a Japanese bike looks like quality not plastic.but I never rode one

[@rexdavid2111]

Very interesting description and experience with t100. Could you describe the vibration of t100 as compared with the gs750… which im presently using bec i have a plan of selling the gs in favor of the t100. (I like my bike but im constantly having issues with the numbness after few km of riding despite observing the proper handling.) thank you

7 bikes? Well, I've got 6 guitars, plus my sons acoustic and my mandolins, so.... and you're going to hit 4100 miles? Don't wear out my bike man!

[@lloydhocking3923]

Enjoy your reviews! You say that this T100 and the Vulcan S are great first bikes, but which one overall is better, and more enjoyable to ride?

[@lacix22]

Me I need only 4 bikes: Town cruiser (like this Bonnie), Town scooter (like an Xmax 125), a long trip bike (like a vstrom, versys but Rt also plays, or a Honda ST1300), plus a TT like yamaha 250 wr or similar

[@FunAllDayLong4353]

Plus an absolute snorter / animal of a bike!!! For that time when nothing less will do.

[@TheOniDaddy]

you had me at Speedster (Star Wars) :D

[@emilienadeau]

In comparison with the Street Twin? Decision decision decision... Haven't tried them yet...

[@migueltrujillo5932]

I have a 2016 Tiger XCx, a 2019 HD SGS and the main ride The Yamaha TW 200 touring ready.

[@atozrecovery518]

Thesmoakvlogs channel has 7 motorcycles and 2 or 3 little dirt pit bikes. One day I wish

[@markkulyas2418]

I think the two disc on the front of the T120 takes away from the classic looks, I think I prefer the T100.

[@JohnBraman413]

how comfortable is riding with that style seat? never rode a bike with a seat like that.

[@fusion3d581]

There are other first bike&last bikes.... R1 GSXR1000 ZX10R CBR1000 💀

[@michaelmorley331]

Parallel twin ..means cylinders side by side. The Bonneville was never a 360° crank..the pistons do not move the same

[@johannesstoiber5319]

Does someone know since when the t100 and t120 are liquid cooled? I like air cooled bikes more :)

[@Dragon1165]

Cool first bike, and a Keeper

[@foxtrotgolf5698]

So, is it still your last bike? I want a Triumph for my last bike too, i still have to stop buying shoes.

[@jelizondo34]

Hey man just wanted to say thanks for all the tips you give and cool bikes you show. I wanted to ask you do you think a honda shadow 1100 is a good beginner bike?

[@Srkcycles]

+Joel Elizondo probably not the best beginner bike, but it’s not the worst. So go for it

[@17ultralimited69]

I had Shadow 1100 and it was bulletproof

[@jelizondo34]

Srkcycles in your opinion which would be the best?

[@jelizondo34]

17 Ultra Limited and nice! what year was it?

[@17ultralimited69]

Joel Elizondo It was an ‘03

[@printer1105]

Its like Diana Ross on wheels, classic beauty and singer .

[@JamesCouch777]

Old or new bonnies are just plain fun.

[@Rkevwill2687]

I sold mine. The later ones (mine was a 2014) are a bit top heavy. Loved riding it, but with my short legs, it was just a bit uncomfortable at low speeds and in traffic.

[@FunAllDayLong4353]

What not try heels or platforms added to your bike boots?

[@vincentdubois3291]

Triumph is a british motorcycle brand but the Bonneville models are assembled in Thailand. So, what about the quality of those bikes?

[@oscarpallaresmedia21]

I have an 07 ride it a lot and haven't had any any issues.

[@marcswanson7066]

The quality is very good. The Thais do first class welding. I could be mistaken but I think all motors are still made in England. In 2010 I purchased a new SE from a dealer and still own that bike. It's been trouble free so I doubt if I'll ever sell it. I know next to nothing about the new 900 and 1200 liquid cooled models. Most of the reviews have been like infomercials.

[@dodibenabba1378]

I have a 2004 made in England! 🇬🇧
