This limited edition is a tribute to the iconic Triumph brand born in 1902. Based on the standard T100 model, the 110th Anniversary Bonneville T100 features a special aluminum silver and khaki green paint scheme similar to those on the earliest 60’s Triumph motorcycles. Other special features include a reinterpretation of the original Triumph crest on the bike’s side covers, a chrome chain guard, cam cover and grab rail and a numbered plaque on the handlebar clamp and certificate of authenticity.
Mechanically, this edition keeps the same standard production T100 torquey 865cc parallel twin with dual overhead cams, modern fuel injection, 41mm front forks and traditional chromed rear shocks. A total of 1000 limited-edition 110th Anniversary Bonneville models are being built worldwide with 250 allotted to the U.S and 25 to Canada. Availability in May 2012. MSRP is set at $10,499 U.S and $10,999 Canada. Triumph Motorcycles.
I own a restored stock 1970 Bonneville, there are many items on that model that should be incorporated into the current model to make them more appealling IMHO.
Nicer shaped gas tank
Nicer shaped headlight
Tach / speddometer
Seat.
Retro mufflers
etc
I like what Triumph is doing,
“the original Triumph crest on the bike’s side covers”.
~ “Details” that people like to have.. (embossed badges w/rivets) representing themselves…as a rider who has the dedication to give a ship. ~
I believe the funny shape of the tank is due to EFI instead of gravity feed (they switched over in 08/09 and the tanks changed). I would love to see retro gauges, headlight, turn signals, and a bacon slicer on the front fender!
Tank does look funny when compared to originak tank look but otherwise it looks pretty good!
I have a 69 tiger …’,- & I think its COOL -‘,’,.
I REALLY LIKE THIS BIKE VERY GOOD JOB .
The tank shape is the result of all Bonnie’s getting EFI in ’09 as Midnight rightfully points out. Some in the Bonnie community feel that the tank pads help with the look of the new tank — I’m still on the fench. Picking up a Bonnie in the next 2 weeks for my next bike project…
Maybe someone should repop an original tank that fits on this frame and end the controversy.
Taiwan’s doing a pretty good job on tanks now…… but if you want rounded sides instead of flattened, it’s going to cost you plenty.
