2014 Triumph Bonneville T100 Motorcycle Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 июн 2015
- This is a 2014 Triumph Bonneville T100 that I was considering for a 2nd bike. Bottom line, I went in not knowing a single thing about this bike other than it looked classic and cool - and it impressed the heck out of me, no joke. WAY more power than I was expecting and very useable in all RPM ranges. Absolutely modern Japanese build quality, very good. Solid, smooth, incredible value for the money IMO.

I own a 2016 Bonnie, same model and color scheme. I know these are his first impressions so I'll give him a break but this bike is absolutely begs to be taken into the canyons. You can easily carve up the twisties on this bike. It has a generous lean angle (not sure of the numbers). I did buy a set of Continental road attack 3 tires and it made a huge improvement in the cornering and handles like a dream. It also has an excellent power band with great pull throughout. This bike is a blast to ride!! I concur with this gentleman, the pea-shooter pipes sound like a sewing machine and look like a small snake swallowed a BIG sausage!! British Customs has a slip on that is well engineered for this bike called the Predator Pro. I have it on my Bonnie and there was a huge improvement in sound and looks, not to mention a slight bump in performance after having the dealer re-map the ECU. I've been riding for almost 35 years, and this bike is every bit as engaging, and enjoyable as any bike I've owned. Although it's suitable for beginning riders it is NOT just a beginners bike. Putting it in a box like this is a disservice to the bike! If you're in the market for an all around solid bike, reasonably priced, I highly recommend this bike!!
Excellent review 👏 thanks Daniel hard to beat experience when reviewing any bike.
The Bonneville is arguably one of the most iconic motorcycles in the world .
Anyone who rides a Bonneville, young or old, male or female can only be put into one box COOL.
I think I've just fallen in love with this bike! I'm 16 and I really want to buy a bike for college. B4, I thought that I definitely wanted a sports bike like a cbr or a ninja, but I've fallen in love with the cafe racers. Just the combination of the beautiful retro and classical style, comfort, and power is simply captivating. I know some people say to start on like a 300 but I think I can handle it :)
GREAT review, good camera work, and no stupid rock music. THANK YOU for making this.
Great review. I cant wait to test ride one myself. I watched this reveiw in a rocking chair putting my son to sleep. Dad life hahaha.
Great video! Have a 2015 bonnie SE (mag wheels) with 25.000Km and still working as a clock. Definitely a best buy for who wants a classic... Total fun, period!
I have the same motorcycle (year and color scheme as well). Only difference is mine has a fly screen. I've taken mine
on day trips and long road trips and it does not disappoint. I agree that a little rumble from the pipes would be nice but
I can live with what Triumph provides as stock. If you can only have one motorcycle and you aren't inclined to do any
off road riding . . . you can't go wrong with a Triumph Bonneville.
I have this bike in UK and had the Triumph upgraded pies which sound cool and pops on overrun. Also had the King & Queen seat fitted as well. A great ride and reminds me of my old Bonneville of the 70,s
Great review, now I am saving to get a T100 for Christmas.
I just want this one as first bike! Thanks for your video. Helpful !
nice review. I'm 6'2" and large as well, and it's good to see a review from someone my size and similar temperament. as someone commented already, glad you didn't,t pollute the video with music.
Best review on the Triumph I have seen!
i was just about to buy a crotch rocket, but you've just turned my world upside down. awesome review! now i've got some serious thinking to do.
Hi great video I have watched many many of these test rides and they all say the same thing very nice to ride, I get my triumph tomorrow looking forward to test riding it myself.😊
great review bud,got my test ride booked for next week.
I've never really given this bike much consideration, but after watching this it looks like it would be a ton of fun.
excellent job.. comprehensive, wholehearted review, thanks.
Finally, picking up my T100 tomorrow Yea!
Pretty sweet! Everything you mentioned was dead on in my test ride as well.
saw the triumph thruxton a few days ago....holy moly that thing is gorgeous..
Great review. Also looking at one for a second bike to my BMW R1200GS Adventure and the fact that you are 6' 2" (the same as myself) has helped in the decision making.
I keep drooling on the Thruxton. I've test rode one at least 5 times. The only drawback is the sitting position. I keep thinking it's going to kill my back on longer rides. Cheers, ~Hilman
I purchased a Bonneville SE a few years back as my be-bop bike. It is still a blast to ride. Staintune Exhaust added, and now has a bit of a growl. Good luck with your choice
I had the America and the Speed Master I took both over the Tail of the Dragon two up with out trouble and turned around did the Trail of tears and ended up in Gulf Shores Alabama all in the same ride. With out a break down. I put over 60,000 on both bikes before I sold them and there was no engine problems with ether one. And I still have my 98 Thunder Bird.
Great review. Thank you.
Great review on a great bike! :-) One of the best bikes in the world. Next spring a new Bonneville with a 95 hp 1200cc engine enters the stage! Keep your eyes open!
very nice review!
Nice review! Ive narrowed down on to bonnie! can u suggest me any specific add ons/must have accessories plz?
I really like the British style. I used to own a sportster 1100. But loved those triumphs. Just no dealers within 2.5 hours
Great vid, thanks!
Very Very well done, thank you.
Fun review. I’m actually looking at this in the year 2023 as an old bike lol i bought a 2022 t100 completely diff bike.
6ft 2 with a 32 inseam?? Trying to picture that….
Did you buy it. I just bought a 2014 Triumph T100SE still sitting on showroom floor.
After living with it for a month I totally agree with all you have said.
Your are a very, very good reviewer. .
very good review, which sticks to the character of the bike. Question: When you compare it to a harley sportster 883/1200 - is it a little dull, or perfect?
Toni R ii
I've been going back and forth between this one and the Ducati Scrambler. I think the Ducati may have my heart.
I had a 1983 TRIUMPH TSX in the late eighties. This looks and seems to ride similar. But I agree do agree with you on the exhaust thing. It doesn't sound meaty enough to me. Is that true or just seem that way because of the position of your camera?
Have the same Bonnie I just love it. Say no more :)
carve through canyons... check
hit the freeway.... check
Made me Tic when he said that...
I guess he wanted to say "very long highway trip"...
Dinosaur gas station on the left at 3:00 and 3:54 - a landmark since the early 70's !!!
The Triumph Bonneville T120, would be nice for you it's got the gear indicator and a little more...
beautiful bike.
I am also 6'2" and I really dig the sportster 883. Did you feel cramped on it?
I hated our sportster yes it was cramped for me. Fit the wife.
Hi, how about Triumph America, are you going to make a test?
TWO, what bike did you finally buy? Was it this one?
Sir: I bought a Royal Enfield 500 as a first bike. I was drawn to the simplicity and style and it ended up being a good choice for me, it has served me well for 3 years now. After watching this review I am tempted to upgrade to this bike. I like the retro, British styling, like the Enfield.. but it seems far more capable. Am I off course here? Do you think it would be a good upgrade? I am looking for more freeway/distance capability.
Liar
Liar?
Why did you just insult him? You don't seem to have to go very far online to encounter your sort
Andrew Sillett
thanks, I don't get it.
Boy, I'd really like to watch you review Honda's new CB1100 and Fury. Please do. :)
I love mine, but I'm experiencing an oil leak from the base gasket that the dealer can't seem to rectify. The rest of the bike is fantastic and really is a mobile conversation starter!
I've a 71 Bonnie , Gregg, and the oil leak on yours makes me wonder if with the modern Triumph it has been factored in to the design to honour the original ...not sure it has, but sounds like you've been fortunate in sourcing a rare one
so whats your decision , RE or the triumph :)
Great review, there's a lot to this bike and hugely customisable. Check out the Bonnefication site for maximum drool factor!
Is the seat comfy?
Very nice
Did you buy it?
I posted a similar comment on your Royal Enfield video, do you think this would be too much bike for a beginner?
+Silent Samurai Gaming See my vid on what bike to start on - it's more about your maturity level not the bike.
thank you, that video was very helpful
That's a purdy bike🏍🏍🏍
Is this your first motorcycle?
For sale 2014 Bonne T100 like new. 125 miles. Extras. St Louis.
Bry have you looked at the new Yamaha sr 500 ? cool
+Brian Mabbett nice but only kick start.
The new version is going to have a lot more balls. But Oh the wait!
+sandydenny lives yeah here in the uk..im too....a deffo bolt breater too.
Gear indicator? A motorbike only has two gears. The right one and the wrong one ;)
Not impressed with that bike. Never ridden one, but did sit on one at the dealership. I did not like the seat at all, and further examination of the bike revealed poor fit and finish (tank was crooked, cheap looking switchgear, etc). Anyway, great review and good to hear your thoughts as you ride it.
Bryan...if you wan t to giggle all the time riding a bike, go and try a yamaha fz09
Can you DIG IT!!!!
TwoWheelObsession christ 5-6000 rpm shifts is where is runs clean 115 mph tops ...
+TwoWheelObsession actually.. the bike can do more than 130 :) i have try it before..ohya you know why it is called bonneville? it originated in boneville salt lake and it breaks the record for fastest bike in 1954 if im not mistaken.
+TwoWheelObsession the more i watch this i understand you have know idea what your doing on this bike or how to ride it .'' power till 4000 rpm '' ???? what ,, ride it like a two stroke ..power starts at 4,000 rpm
Have not enough power for two up riding almost not enough for one up riding.
DO NOT!!! EVER compare a Triumph to a hog... that is just disgraceful.. Triumphs are beautiful classy bikes.. Harley's ... well they are just not!!!
Liquid cooled* 😬
Ride properly through corners and twisties or review is pointless triumphs excell when ridden through decent undulating winding and interesting roads as in New Zealand riding in a straight line is joking no test
Hopeless at speed without a fairing, wind blast, neck, back and arm ache and it kills your arse because the seat is dreadful. Front half of the bike looks great but the budget for style department ran dry when it came to the rear half !! Yes I've owned one ...not for long.
almost as crappy as a harley
ian Barnett, not true at all. I also don't like Harley's. I bought a 2015 model of this bike. it's darn nice, good usable torque. just great handling through the curves. if your into motorcycles I highly recommend you test drive one.
nice review. I'm 6'2" and large as well, and it's good to see a review from someone my size and similar temperament. as someone commented already, glad you didn't,t pollute the video with music.
Very good review. Thank you!
