So cool to hear! I bought the same model/ year last year and was wondering how it would be after some higher mileage. How was it in maintenance so far? Thanks
Got my 2022 T100 based on a long tradition of quality and style that I have always attributed to Triumph and I have not been disappointed. I have gotten to the point that it is a member of the family and I have lost all objectivity. So far just perfect for my needs and my only temptation is the new 400 coming out next year. I always like to see your riding on British roads... it is a lot more thrilling for me than you may expect as a Yank I see you defying death with every car that passes and though you have a lovely countryside to ride in I realize I will never be able to ride there... but I will take what we have over here and be grateful.... Shiny side up!
Thanks RL 😁 it can be quite thrilling, dodging cars and potholed narrow roads 😂😂 but we do have some nice rides and never too long to wait before some bends 😁
I worked in Bury St Edmunds for 11 years. Always a treat to see your videos of the beautiful Suffolk countryside. Stunning part of the UK. I have the same bike. Love it. Keep up the good work.
Picked up my T100 two weeks ago - big change from riding mainly adventure bikes - Tiger XC, Multistrada and R1200 GSA (which I absolutely loved) but in a good way. Much easier to get out of my small garage and every bit as much fun to ride even though I'm doing road legal speeds instead of risking my licence. I find it makes me want to chill and enjoy the ride instead of hammering every bend - which it can do if you don't mind the wear on the pegs! Got some Givi hard panniers and screen on it and I'm expecting it to be capable of everything I did on my other bikes whilst being easier to get out on for quick local rides. Glad you are still loving yours a year on👍
Do you find T100 as comfortable as Tiger on bad roads ? Please let me know as I lost my Tiger 909 in a bad crash last year, I am looking for a new bike now
@@rajivbhalla3194 the suspension on the tiger is far superior and handles the potholes and bumps much better but the T100 is much smoother and relaxed 😁 thanks R 😁
Its a great feeling when you have a bike that you gel with 100%. Never named any of my bikes, but my last dog was called Buddy, a rescue Staffy. Best dog i ever had.
It is indeed the perfect motorcycle 👌. I had one, wished I still had it but it had to go for financial reasons. When we bought it we tried the T120 / T100 back to back and actually preferred the T100. The fuelling was much better, the handling sublime. Yes, the rear shocks got a bit overwhelmed if you really pushed on but we never did push on, not really. The gearbox was extremely positive if a bit clunky. Weirdly, the change from 2nd to 3rd was most noticeable. Heavier than the Classic 350 but actually more manageable for me due to lower seat height. At 70mph in 5th (top) the engine is at 3750rpm which also happens to be maximum torque. But plenty of torque is available from just over 1500rpm. All in all marvellous 😊
At last a nice day!! I watch several YTubers in Suffolk and the roads mainly look great for some quick straights followed by reasonable bends. Traffic quite light up against west Kent too.
Nice video relaxing ride. Just got 900 thruxton out. It's spring in the Irish hills Michigan. Looking forward to a great season of riding. Really like the retro style and quality of triumph. They are a fountain of youth 😊
7600 miles on mine now. Loving it. Did not like the Pirelli's, wander around on those groves down the road. Would prefer tubeless tyres. The T100 just feels really easy to ride compared to the T120.
Lovely looking bike. Regarding service intervals, I think you'll find it's 10k miles or 12 months. For most 12 months will come sooner, it's just a marketing ploy. Personally I wouldn't want oil left in the engine for that long.
Thanks TP 😁 I do over 25,000 a year not including ‘other’ bikes I ride. I realise I am probably a minority but if I only had one bike, at 3000 mile intervals it would spend more time being serviced than it would ridden. There is also a big difference between dropping the oil and an annual service. But, I appreciate for most it might not be an issue 😁
I put 100% synthetic oil in my 2017 T100 and run the full 16000 Km. I've 135,000 Km on it now and it's still delicious on the ear on the eye and on the road
Im on my second 2005 Bonneville SE 50 year Anniversary Triumph. New Buckhorn bars, low mirrors, and styly Chinese mufflers set for a lot more throb. This bike has lots of alloy to polish, and alloy rims too. 865 cc, fuel injection. YES, IT IS PERFECT. The result of 50 years of perfecting the design. Dont need more cc, I can cruise at 160kms per hour no problem on NZ roads. Yes, Im in love!
I've got the older air cooled 2013 Bonneville. Beautiful and plenty of power for a naked bike. If I need to hit 80mph I can but I prefer no more than 70mph and that makes this bike perfect for me.
I'm thinking of either getting the T100 or T120 but leaning more towards the T120. I plan to do daily rides to work and weekend touring with my girlfriend. For the latter, some reviews say that the T100 may be under powered with a pillion and it's a much more comfortable experience with the T120. What are your thoughts on this?
I had the T120 for a couple of years but prefer the T100, I think it handles better. I commute and general rides two up and really don’t have any problems. It will cruise all day at the maximum speed limits in the uk (and more). New, the T100 is about £2,500 less, produces 65bhp and 80 Nm torque. The T120 has 15bhp more and 20Nm torque more, neither of which are necessary in my opinion😁 but you need to try yourself. If buying used the price difference may be a lot less particularly if you compare a 2020 T120 to a 2021 T100 etc 😁 hope that helps 😁 thanks E 😁
Always good to be happy with what you own. That's why companies make different models or flavors. Well we all know , they only need to make vanilla, but bikes, they are built for purpose. I guess we have different ice cream styles too, with hard and soft. Just glad you have a bike you love to ride!😊
Bought my T100 new in 2020....I love the retro mirrors.....suit the bikes style. Thank god I got mine when they had chrome wheels and spokes. Mine is great on the motorway....just under 4000rpm at 70mph.....a real lazy motor....so unfussed. With an open face Bell Helmet.....thats fast enough. Average 73mpg.....A roads....de-catted gives me 3mpg + Would love a kick start on one...RE Interceptor style. Agree with everything you say Sir.
Great review. Preaching to the converted. My new T100 chrome arrived at the end of May. Gearbox on mine is snick snick perfect. Agree with all your positives. My minus are the long travel on the rear brake which the dealer could not sort at the first service and engine heat in traffic. No reviews seem to mention that.
Yes it can get a bit warm 😂😂 but nothing like my Tiger 900 with the fans strategically positioned to blow all the warm air onto my legs 😂😂😂 marvellous in winter though 😁 thanks RR 😁
Beautiful motorcycle you have there. And I have one just like it, 2022 T100 Gold Line. I absolutely love mine too. Just put the chrome grab rail on that you mentioned and I looks great. Ride safe my friend.
Yes it sure is a beautiful machine TAM and still loving it, keep seeing them on the road once I saw yours and had my Triumph T100 Great looking bike wouldn’t mind trying one 😊😊
Have to agree. (Although mine is the T120), they are awesome machines, well built, well designed and enough flexibility to do almost anything you might need of them (within the bounds of legal road use).
I’m loving my speed twin 1200 it returned 59mpg today that’s running in mind I kept to no more than 70mph I am considering getting a T100 aswell 😂I just can’t help myself with bikes Enjoyable video as usual 😊👍
Wonderful bike . Stuart Fillingham didn't have a problem with his , but he wanted Triumph to act because he was worried an issue MIGHT arise at some point !! ... they said no and he's waged a war against the brand ever since. The early 1200's did have a few failures on a batch of bikes but no longer a problem. Yamaha had a similar issue with FJR's some years ago and BMW have a list as long as your arm.
Morning Taym Your Dad rode the naughty boy bike of the 60s, the Fireblade of it's day, he had more than one because they were fabulous and he was so cool , Steve Magueen copied him :)
2014 air/oil cooled Bonneville T100, Norman Hyde Toga exhausts. Triumph "summer wind screen," plenty of power to tour anywhere here in the USA and cruise 70-75 mph with no difficulty.
Nice one TAYM, I have the Street twin 54bhp model, it's a lovely bike although the front suspension is severely lacking ( upgrade coming soon) and the stock tyres although grippy follow every defect in the road ( also being addressed shortly) I believe the later 64bhp model is a lot better at handling motorway's with the power increase, overall though it's a cracking bike....
The T100 and the T120 are, in my opinion, the two bikes most closely resembling the original Bonnivilles of the late 60s. Uncle Stu says that I am a Triumph fan boy but that's only because he, might be, a poster boy for RE which does not closely resemble the original Interceptor 750!😎
"64 brake horsepower, not masses, not huge". It's about 15 horsepower more than a sixties "superbike" had, and it's about 5 horsepower less than a seventies superbike. It's enough to get you in trouble. It's also enough to power two Morris Minors! I'm currently on the hunt for a W800. They're as rare as rocking horse excrement, in Australia. If I can't find one, it's a toss up between the Bonneville T100 and a Royal Enfield. Thanks for the content.
Thanks for the review. I certainly am having a time choosing between the T100 and a new V7.😂 Going with either would be great of course but still leaning towards the V7 only because, like you , I have a history with the brand. And they smell soooo good!!😂 So more than likely sticking with MG despite all the problems I've had with the current 2018 V7. Definition of insanity???😂
No not insanity 😁 we like what we like and even the bad bits don’t distract from that😁 in fact it can make the bond even stronger 😁 for example, I love horses that have odd quirks that would put others right off😁 thanks JT 😁
The T100 is a lovely bike, but I would encourage you to go for the V7. The new (since 2021) 850 engine means it's fully the equal of the Triumph. From my experience you won't regret it.
Don't complain about the service interval, mr. TAYM .. My retractably mirrors scooter has oil change on 2k km and my new one 125 is on 1k ! .. So, 5 is reasonable enough. I remember in the old days, all bikes where on around 5k
Lovely bike is the Bonneville , I'd have one in a heartbeat if they had weather protection , alas we need to get out of the weather over here and a decent fairing makes a huge difference . You're a brave guy weaving through that traffic , I noticed two courteous drivers and one *rsehole in A TESLA [ desperately trying to maim motorcyclists while he singlehandedly saves the planet ]. And a lady in her pyjamas on a bicycle , very stylish . Oh and talking about style , have you noticed that FD has forsaken muscle bikes and has taken to wearing a hairnet [ of the Ena Sharples variety ] and riding an electric scooter , marvelous eh ?
Yes there was above average goodly drivers on that commute 😁 schools are shut, traffic lighter makes for a happier driver I guess😁 I haven’t noticed FD hairnet🤔 I did notice he had stolen uncle Stu’s Classic though 😁 thanks DS 😁
Triumphs are the best and dads know best.Pushbikers hey sometimes just a little entitled haha. I love my pushbike and I ride it everyday but never mad enough to mix it up with cars,trucks etc. Just remember the tighter the lycra the madder the pushbiker unless of course competition.Thanks TAYM.
I bought a very low kms 2021 (4000km) bike. It’s the blue one not the gold line. The gold line definitely is beautiful. My bike came up for very cheap so I decided I had to have it. I love the retro bikes. I have an INT650 (although I am going to sell it to “pay back” some of the funds I borrowed from my savings for the T100.). I have had a CB1100EX…someone crashed into me on that and wrote it off. Now the T100 is my “forever bike” I hope.
Totally agree TAYM luv the mirrors don't like bar ends center stand a must the grab rail definately only one but and that is those silencers I don't like the peeshooters other models have better ones , apart from that it's just perfect really nice bike .😉👌pucker job 👍
The Bonneville T100, I love my Bonnie more than anything else. Yeah right, Rob is my first love but Bonnie definitely my second🤣 Stock tyres were rubbish on mine, changed them to Dunlop Mutant, very satisfied with them. Will change some little things like the brake reservoir cover and the radiator cover, want to have the union jack covers, but for the rest, I love her like she is. My black beauty💖 Thanks for the mutter TAYM.
Your T100 is lovely but l do prefer the look of the older 865s, i'm hoping to get a second bike soon but still cannot decide between the Bonnie a RE Continental or a W650/800, l tried a new BSA Goldstar but the throttle was a bit on off at low revs which put me off. Great video as always bud 👍
I have a Street Twin - lower seat height! Can wear my normal boots! 👍Yes, I’m sure I could ride the T100 but would probably need my bigger boots. The Guzzi V7 I sold after 13 years and 35k miles was 900mm! That was okay but becoming a bit of a stretch over the rear seat! I just decided to try different bikes whilst I still can! 👴I’ve been off into Derbyshire, on the Enfield Trials, and a bit of Staffordshire today! Some 164 miles done on, mostly, small roads! Found myself down a Martin Trafford route Ford - lucky I took the Trials! 👍😀
Is buddy decatted i agree with pretty much everything your review stated about the model i had to replace all sorts of parts on mine just because, half the fun was getting it to "fit" me great platform to make your own i take mine on the highway all the time I'm never searching for that sixth gear more than enough punch for out there mine's an xpiped 2018 t100 black with British customs sleeper pros....goes like stink😂❤❤❤
It’s interesting you mentioned that it aged well and it is louder then before. Could this be possible? I have similar experience with my Bonnie, thought something was wrong with the exhausts or something (but nothing found so far).. Great review!
Hello - Really enjoy watching your videos and reviews. Presumably I'm one of the many coming back to motorcycling after a long break and looking to purchase a T100. However, i have been looking at so many review videos on RUclips on the T100, W800 and now suffering from "Analysis Paralysis! 🙂 Having said that, the T100 looks to be my preferred choice but cannot decide as to whether to go for an older Bonneville or a newer model. I have seen some very good examples of 20 year old Bonneville's with very low mileage, but thinking that a newer machine would be best. What do you think?
Thank you @@TAYM . I´m looking forward to my first testride. Also did some diggin´ in the www and with the nice looking Triumph Comfort Seat you get an extra 3-4cm in high ... sounds like a perfect bike gets even more perfect. 🙂A fine day to you and drive safe.
I have the T120 Gold Line. Already had the fuel tank changed for a paint defect. Now the throttle sticks wide open randomly, sometimes sticks at 3500 rpm in town. The high temp alarm always comes on and constantly has a check engine light on now, with only 3000km on it. I've decided it gets one more chance to get fixed at the dealership or it's gone. I love the bike but starting the loose the appeal having to drive it 120 miles to get fixed.
I would never go 10 thousand miles on a motor cycle motor oil change, especially with wet clutches. I have a Honda Rebel and they say 8 thousand miles for service however I cut that in Half at 4,000. 40 Years of riding and I always add a wind shield. I don't know how people take the blast without one? Kit
When they give you oil change intervals it's usually mileage or 1 year whatever comes first. So for us casual Riders they want us to change the oil every year, kind of sad when you're draining oil out of your bike that looks brand new.
I've deleted my previous post as that opinion of mine seemed even to me a little biased. I shall just try them both on a straight stretch this summer, I also happen to have a 2013 Bonnie 865...but the XV 1100 just pulls my head on the back on every sharp acceleration, which on 865 it just won't happen....
Thanks D 😁 not at all, it’s good that we all have opinions and we all feel things differently 😁 yes, the old 865 are much flatter and don’t produce the max torque until 6k revs and then only have 67Nm 😁 I know what you mean though, sometimes even my classic 500 seems to have more leap 🤔 odd isn’t it😁 thanks D😁
Hi there really like the video I live in Sweden and haven’t tested the bike I have a option of getting a T100 or T120 2022 for the same price I’m riding a SpeedMaster 2012 any thoughts about which bike would be better 😎
You would miss the power on the T100 but appreciate the ease and smoothness of the T100 😁 the problem is they are all such fantastic bikes 😁 thanks SJ 😁
I think some other RUclipsrs (mentioning no names) opinions are very much influenced by factors other than the bikes themselves even now putting down bikes that he's not even seen yet. I agree with every single thing you said even though, for me, the T120 is the one for me. I wouldn't put other manufacturers down they make great bikes at great prices and have a lot of very happy owners but the Triumph just feels special every time I get on it and I could (and do) just sit and look at it. Is it perfect? No it isn't I would say the low down fuelling could be improved (but you soon learn to ride around it) and I don't know if it's just mine but the idiot light for the indicators is not very visible especially on sunny days. Other than that there's nothing I can really think of that is wrong with the bike. As for price value is subjective and some people are as happy as Larry driving a Dacia and cannot see why someone else would spend the extra for the equivalent Mercedes. Personally I think that the Bonneville is worth every single penny over it's budget equivalent but some might not. I will admit I think Triumph do go overboard with the whole Union Jack thing and the whole "Lifestyle" accessories stuff but I guess that is the modern world now.
Thanks Mike 😁 couldn’t disagree with you😁 really there isn’t such a thing as a perfect bike for everyone, only a perfect bike for a particular moment in time for a particular person 😁 if there was, I wouldn’t have 4 in the garage 🤔 maybe I would, but that’s not the point 🤔 in fact I’ve forgotten the point 😂😂😂😂
The T100 Goldline does look wonderful and as you say, it has enough power for practical purposes👍. I have to say though, that the Interceptor comes with a centre stand and grab handles, as well as Royal Enfieldness 😁. I am not sure if my favourite is the T100 or the SV650 as both are great bikes from my point of view.
Freddie Dobbs experience of obtaining Triumph spares . Does not bode well for long term ownership. They seem to be all about flash showrooms with nothing behind. Bring back Revetts.
Funny thing is, I just did a google and found a number of sellers claiming to sell them for a 2010 Bonneville 🤔 whether they actually have them or are genuine triumph I don’t know. 🤔😁 thanks DF 😁 there does appear to be a general shortage of parts for all brands and particularly Royal Enfield 😁 don’t know what’s going on. 😁
Bonjour une bien belle vidéo 😀 je n'ai jamais eu de moto anglaise 😟 mais j'ai eu une Kawasaki w 650 qui pour moi fût tout aussi belle bien qu'une pâle copie d'une Bonneville 😉 je suis sûr que j'aimerais cette moto elle convient sûrement à mes attentes d'une moto n'oubliez pas que je monte fièrement une 350 classic 😀 qui hélas n'est plus anglaise et me réjoui de pouvoir espérer un jour une Gold Star hélas plus anglaise non plus 😟 mais justement,c'est ce qui me permet d'espérer,un gros mono tout ce que j'aime et dans une gamme de prix raisonnable oui oui c'est pas comparable (qualité puissance prestige réseau de distribution en France misérable) enfin faut des rêves pour avancer....mais pour l'instant je reste fidèle à ma Royal Enfield 😀 😉✌️🇨🇵
Just a question, when you pass cars like you do in traffic in the oncoming lane, is that something that is legal in England? If I tried that here in the US I would probably lose my license!
Mate, I’ve been watching your vlogs for ages now, and you’re one of my favourites. But….. Why the heck do you speak like you’re a bit simple. Do you put it on ? No, I know you’re not but for goodness sake. All the buts, and the errs and the ya knows. It doesn’t put me off, but I think it probably will some folks. Just saying mate.
I'd like a new T100 for next bike or a second hand low km T120.A new T100 or Street twin 900 be marvelous can't beat being the first owner & running in your bike.A Stret Twin 900 us 206kg wet & is more my weigh & alloy wheels but does have piddler 12L tank but should be good for 180km hard out riding & 200km normal riding with 1.5-2L left in tank to stop grit in fuel system.T100 has 14.5L tank. You don't need a big bike on motorway my Interceptor do 75mph all day easy & ton up occasionally passing cars same with Trident 🔱 660. I have a suspicion that Street Twin 900 12L tank is actually 12.4-12.5L filling level bike or straddling bike when filling. They said Trident 🔱 is 14L tank till you buy one & read manual & it says 14.4L filling level to bottom of filler neck with a little small gap so Street Twin probably the same.Thst extra .4-.5L is 10km.
225kg....a 1/4 of a ton....why are modern bikes so heavy. I do own a 2020 T100.....stunning machine....but heavy.....and I weigh 98kg....5.10ins. The present dat Bonneville....yes watercooled now the moaners say.....but that how things evolve....euro4 and 5...no choice. Saying that....the motors still look aircooled due triumphs clever engine design.
Triumph are priced appropriately a Yamaha XSR700 is $15500 not as much technology as Trident 🔱 $14500 & Trident 🔱 better & Street Twin 17K NZ 🇳🇿 dollars & T100 19k.Also get Triumph fit & finish which is some of the best.Triumphant Triumph as they say it Triumphant Effort.
Stu brought a T120 the first model & it came with T100 gearbox & had problems & got stuffed around Triumph Head office didn't return HIS calls. Also got bike back after repairs for recall & had scratch & speedo not working which they refused to rectify which is more dealership incompetence & he had bad luck.Dealership should of not returned bike like that & fixed it for free finding a great Dealership is the key.A dealer who will go into bat for you with any manufacturer to resolve the issues is what you want & keep you going back. Triumph Head office isn't the only brand to ignore phone calls but others are better.
I beg to differ as well , I have a T120 Ace edition and for a little more money you get the sixth gear , center stand , more power , and heated grips 😊 both great bikes , but I wouldn’t give up my T120 for a T100 ever 😬 just sayin
The T120 no longer comes with a centre stand or heated grips or grab rail. 😁 just saying 😁😂😂😂 I much prefer the 1200 engine in my Thruxton 😁 thanks TLSD 😁
@@thelegendarysweendog3171 I know, I was shocked when I went to change my 120 🤔 also think mine was a Friday bike. Developed rusty parts within 6 months, went back a number of times to get the engine management reset, had an engine leak within 2 weeks of collecting it, tyres went brown almost immediately. It had some strange handling now and then and after two years, swapped it for my T100 which has been faultless 😁

Marvellous 😁 I bet it’s created a lot of memories 😁 thanks A 😁
So cool to hear! I bought the same model/ year last year and was wondering how it would be after some higher mileage.
How was it in maintenance so far? Thanks

Glad you are still loving yours a year on👍
Marvellous 😁 I am sure you will find it more than adequate and retain your license whilst feeling chilled 😁 thanks WT😁

Its a great feeling when you have a bike that you gel with 100%.
Never named any of my bikes, but my last dog was called Buddy, a rescue Staffy. Best dog i ever had.
It is, I feel like the farmer in the film Pig, when he says, ‘that’ll do pig, that’ll do’ 😁😂😂😂😂

Triumph make a great range of bikes and their attention to detail is the best. I had a new Bonneville in 78 and 82, now thinking its time for another.
Sounds like a plan is hatched 😁😂😂 thanks S 😁
This was the most relaxing motorcycle review. Thank you
😂😂 thanks L 😁
What a lovely day. You definitely seem to be enjoying that T100. 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks BG 😁
Lovely bike 😊, shame you didn't get a thumb print to compliment the signature 😂. Chris.
😂😂😂 thanks C 😁 we can’t all be as lucky as uncle Stu 😁😂😂
It's a lovely looking motorcycle you've got there TAYM. So reminiscent of the later 1960s T120.
Thanks LE 😁
At last a nice day!! I watch several YTubers in Suffolk and the roads mainly look great for some quick straights followed by reasonable bends. Traffic quite light up against west Kent too.
Thanks SC 😁 definitely have some good roads 😁
Nice video relaxing ride. Just got 900 thruxton out. It's spring in the Irish hills Michigan. Looking forward to a great season of riding. Really like the retro style and quality of triumph. They are a fountain of youth 😊
Absolutely 😁 I can almost hear it growling through the hills 😁 thanks JC 😁
7600 miles on mine now. Loving it. Did not like the Pirelli's, wander around on those groves down the road. Would prefer tubeless tyres. The T100 just feels really easy to ride compared to the T120.
Spot on 😁 thanks SB 😁
Totally agree. Got them on my T100 and also had them on an Interceptor. They're not great.
Lovely looking bike. Regarding service intervals, I think you'll find it's 10k miles or 12 months. For most 12 months will come sooner, it's just a marketing ploy. Personally I wouldn't want oil left in the engine for that long.
Thanks TP 😁 I do over 25,000 a year not including ‘other’ bikes I ride. I realise I am probably a minority but if I only had one bike, at 3000 mile intervals it would spend more time being serviced than it would ridden. There is also a big difference between dropping the oil and an annual service. But, I appreciate for most it might not be an issue 😁
I put 100% synthetic oil in my 2017 T100 and run the full 16000 Km. I've 135,000 Km on it now and it's still delicious on the ear on the eye and on the road
Great review. This lad has what we aspire to, a feel for the bike.
😁 thanks A😁 very kind 😁
Im on my second 2005 Bonneville SE 50 year Anniversary Triumph. New Buckhorn bars, low mirrors, and styly Chinese mufflers set for a lot more throb.
This bike has lots of alloy to polish, and alloy rims too.
865 cc, fuel injection.
YES, IT IS PERFECT. The result of 50 years of perfecting the design.
Dont need more cc, I can cruise at 160kms per hour no problem on NZ roads.
Yes, Im in love!
Exactly 😁 sounds wonderful 😁 thanks Jeff 😁
I've got the older air cooled 2013 Bonneville. Beautiful and plenty of power for a naked bike. If I need to hit 80mph I can but I prefer no more than 70mph and that makes this bike perfect for me.
They are such easy bikes to live with 😁 thanks Michael 😁
I'm thinking of either getting the T100 or T120 but leaning more towards the T120. I plan to do daily rides to work and weekend touring with my girlfriend. For the latter, some reviews say that the T100 may be under powered with a pillion and it's a much more comfortable experience with the T120. What are your thoughts on this?
I had the T120 for a couple of years but prefer the T100, I think it handles better. I commute and general rides two up and really don’t have any problems. It will cruise all day at the maximum speed limits in the uk (and more). New, the T100 is about £2,500 less, produces 65bhp and 80 Nm torque. The T120 has 15bhp more and 20Nm torque more, neither of which are necessary in my opinion😁 but you need to try yourself. If buying used the price difference may be a lot less particularly if you compare a 2020 T120 to a 2021 T100 etc 😁 hope that helps 😁 thanks E 😁
Always good to be happy with what you own. That's why companies make different models or flavors. Well we all know , they only need to make vanilla, but bikes, they are built for purpose. I guess we have different ice cream styles too, with hard and soft. Just glad you have a bike you love to ride!😊
Absolutely 😁 thanks LoY 😁
Bought my T100 new in 2020....I love the retro mirrors.....suit the bikes style.
Thank god I got mine when they had chrome wheels and spokes.
Mine is great on the motorway....just under 4000rpm at 70mph.....a real lazy motor....so unfussed.
With an open face Bell Helmet.....thats fast enough.
Average 73mpg.....A roads....de-catted gives me 3mpg +
Would love a kick start on one...RE Interceptor style.
Agree with everything you say Sir.
Thanks Nick 😁 love mine too 😁
Great review. Preaching to the converted. My new T100 chrome arrived at the end of May. Gearbox on mine is snick snick perfect. Agree with all your positives. My minus are the long travel on the rear brake which the dealer could not sort at the first service and engine heat in traffic. No reviews seem to mention that.
Yes it can get a bit warm 😂😂 but nothing like my Tiger 900 with the fans strategically positioned to blow all the warm air onto my legs 😂😂😂 marvellous in winter though 😁 thanks RR 😁
Beautiful motorcycle you have there. And I have one just like it, 2022 T100 Gold Line. I absolutely love mine too. Just put the chrome grab rail on that you mentioned and I looks great. Ride safe my friend.
Thanks Maddog 😁 I think I will 😁
Yes it sure is a beautiful machine TAM and still loving it, keep seeing them on the road once I saw yours and had my Triumph T100
Great looking bike wouldn’t mind trying one 😊😊
You should give it a go Phil 😁 mind you, you have a marvellous collection already 😁
Just took delivery today of my very own “Buddy”!😊
22 T100 Gold Line
Thanks Q 😁 welcome to the gold line club 😁 a marvellous motorcycle 😁 I hope you enjoy ever mile 😁
Have to agree. (Although mine is the T120), they are awesome machines, well built, well designed and enough flexibility to do almost anything you might need of them (within the bounds of legal road use).
Absolutely 😁 thanks TT 😁
I’m loving my speed twin 1200 it returned 59mpg today that’s running in mind I kept to no more than 70mph
I am considering getting a T100 aswell 😂I just can’t help myself with bikes
Enjoyable video as usual 😊👍

Great vid mr taym. I have a triumph thunderbird in my collection of bikes. Great bike very comfortable.
Thanks Winks 😁 marvellous bike the T’Bird 😁 love it 😁
Wonderful bike . Stuart Fillingham didn't have a problem with his , but he wanted Triumph to act because he was worried an issue MIGHT arise at some point !! ... they said no and he's waged a war against the brand ever since.
The early 1200's did have a few failures on a batch of bikes but no longer a problem. Yamaha had a similar issue with FJR's some years ago and BMW have a list as long as your arm.
Thanks DJ 😁 that explains it pretty well 😂😂😂
@@TAYM 😂
Lovely review and will definitely test ride one now it’s on my list many thanks
Thanks S 😁 definitely a bike everyone should at least try 😁
Morning Taym Your Dad rode the naughty boy bike of the 60s, the Fireblade of it's day, he had more than one because they were fabulous and he was so cool , Steve Magueen copied him :)
😂😂😂😂 absolutely 😁😂😂 thanks AR 😁
2014 air/oil cooled Bonneville T100, Norman Hyde Toga exhausts. Triumph "summer wind screen," plenty of power to tour anywhere here in the USA and cruise 70-75 mph with no difficulty.
Marvellous 😁 thanks Ryan 😁
Nice one TAYM, I have the Street twin 54bhp model, it's a lovely bike although the front suspension is severely lacking ( upgrade coming soon) and the stock tyres although grippy follow every defect in the road ( also being addressed shortly) I believe the later 64bhp model is a lot better at handling motorway's with the power increase, overall though it's a cracking bike....
Interesting on the tyres🤔 what are they on yours? Thanks H 😁
The T100 and the T120 are, in my opinion, the two bikes most closely resembling the original Bonnivilles of the late 60s. Uncle Stu says that I am a Triumph fan boy but that's only because he, might be, a poster boy for RE which does not closely resemble the original Interceptor 750!😎
Thanks MP 😁 Uncle Stu’s hurt runs deep I think 😁😂😂😂
"64 brake horsepower, not masses, not huge". It's about 15 horsepower more than a sixties "superbike" had, and it's about 5 horsepower less than a seventies superbike.
It's enough to get you in trouble. It's also enough to power two Morris Minors!
I'm currently on the hunt for a W800. They're as rare as rocking horse excrement, in Australia. If I can't find one, it's a toss up between the Bonneville T100 and a Royal Enfield.
Thanks for the content.
Absolutely 😁 we sometimes forget these things and hung up looking for more than we need or can seriously use 😁 thanks DB 😁
👍@@TAYM
Now youre talking...it is a lovely bike...pic of little lad and giraffe coming soon
😂😂 thanks Tom. 😁 that’ll be marvellous 😁
A beautiful looking bike TAYM there’s no doubt about it
Thanks GCK 😁
Lovely looking bike, for me though based on your Street Triple ride I went for one of those a Street Triple R in white
Yes, a very different ride 😁 and that paint work on the white one, wow 😁 thanks PRG 😁
Thanks for the review.
I certainly am having a time choosing between the T100 and a new V7.😂
Going with either would be great of course but still leaning towards the V7 only because, like you , I have a history with the brand. And they smell soooo good!!😂
So more than likely sticking with MG despite all the problems I've had with the current 2018 V7.
Definition of insanity???😂
No not insanity 😁 we like what we like and even the bad bits don’t distract from that😁 in fact it can make the bond even stronger 😁 for example, I love horses that have odd quirks that would put others right off😁 thanks JT 😁
The T100 is a lovely bike, but I would encourage you to go for the V7. The new (since 2021) 850 engine means it's fully the equal of the Triumph. From my experience you won't regret it.
@@Zeus-lz2sd thanks for your input. My heart is with the V7.
@@Zeus-lz2sd thanks Z 😁 I shall go try it again 😁 I do like the V7 😁
That's a nice honest appraisal.
Thanks U 😁
Don't complain about the service interval, mr. TAYM .. My retractably mirrors scooter has oil change on 2k km and my new one 125 is on 1k ! .. So, 5 is reasonable enough. I remember in the old days, all bikes where on around 5k
Oil change is one thing but a service is another 😁 thanks Stefan 😁
Lovely bike is the Bonneville , I'd have one in a heartbeat if they had weather protection , alas we need to get out of the weather over here and a decent fairing makes a huge difference . You're a brave guy weaving through that traffic , I noticed two courteous drivers and one *rsehole in A TESLA [ desperately trying to maim motorcyclists while he singlehandedly saves the planet ].
And a lady in her pyjamas on a bicycle , very stylish . Oh and talking about style , have you noticed that FD has forsaken muscle bikes and has taken to wearing a hairnet [ of the Ena Sharples variety ] and riding an electric scooter , marvelous eh ?
Yes there was above average goodly drivers on that commute 😁 schools are shut, traffic lighter makes for a happier driver I guess😁 I haven’t noticed FD hairnet🤔 I did notice he had stolen uncle Stu’s Classic though 😁 thanks DS 😁
If I could fit another bike in my garage I would definitely consider the T100 .
I think you would like it 😁 thanks GMc😁
Triumphs are the best and dads know best.Pushbikers hey sometimes just a little entitled haha. I love my pushbike and I ride it everyday but never mad enough to mix it up with cars,trucks etc. Just remember the tighter the lycra the madder the pushbiker unless of course competition.Thanks TAYM.
Thanks DT 😁😂😂😂😂😂
I bought a very low kms 2021 (4000km) bike. It’s the blue one not the gold line. The gold line definitely is beautiful. My bike came up for very cheap so I decided I had to have it. I love the retro bikes. I have an INT650 (although I am going to sell it to “pay back” some of the funds I borrowed from my savings for the T100.). I have had a CB1100EX…someone crashed into me on that and wrote it off. Now the T100 is my “forever bike” I hope.
Thanks GKR 😁 yes, they are a forever type of bike 😁 sad about the 1100 😞
Totally agree TAYM luv the mirrors don't like bar ends center stand a must the grab rail definately only one but and that is those silencers I don't like the peeshooters other models have better ones , apart from that it's just perfect really nice bike .😉👌pucker job 👍
Thanks Crumb 😁
The Bonneville T100, I love my Bonnie more than anything else. Yeah right, Rob is my first love but Bonnie definitely my second🤣 Stock tyres were rubbish on mine, changed them to Dunlop Mutant, very satisfied with them. Will change some little things like the brake reservoir cover and the radiator cover, want to have the union jack covers, but for the rest, I love her like she is. My black beauty💖 Thanks for the mutter TAYM.
Thanks Lilian 😁 yes she is a beauty 😁 just little tweaks to make them our own, that’s all that’s needed 😁
@@TAYM Indeed, Triumph did a great job with these Bonnies!
Your T100 is lovely but l do prefer the look of the older 865s, i'm hoping to get a second bike soon but still cannot decide between the Bonnie a RE Continental or a W650/800, l tried a new BSA Goldstar but the throttle was a bit on off at low revs which put me off. Great video as always bud 👍
We are so lucky to have the choice of so many such marvellous bikes 😁 thanks MP 😁
Great review video Mr Taym,kindly do a long term review of your W800 compared to T100 also please 🙏 🍻
I shall try 😁 thanks BLR 😁
@@TAYM thanks Mr Taym 🙏 would love to see the video,if possible 😀
I have a Street Twin - lower seat height! Can wear my normal boots! 👍Yes, I’m sure I could ride the T100 but would probably need my bigger boots. The Guzzi V7 I sold after 13 years and 35k miles was 900mm! That was okay but becoming a bit of a stretch over the rear seat! I just decided to try different bikes whilst I still can! 👴I’ve been off into Derbyshire, on the Enfield Trials, and a bit of Staffordshire today! Some 164 miles done on, mostly, small roads! Found myself down a Martin Trafford route Ford - lucky I took the Trials! 👍😀
Actually no 805mm! 🙄
Excellent, I do like the Enfield trials 😁 900😱 I would struggle with that 😂😂😂😂
Ha, that makes more sense 😂😂😂😂

Is buddy decatted i agree with pretty much everything your review stated about the model i had to replace all sorts of parts on mine just because, half the fun was getting it to "fit" me great platform to make your own i take mine on the highway all the time I'm never searching for that sixth gear more than enough punch for out there mine's an xpiped 2018 t100 black with British customs sleeper pros....goes like stink😂❤❤❤
Thanks JH 😁 no the cat is still purring 😁 they are an excellent bike to make your own 😁
It’s interesting you mentioned that it aged well and it is louder then before.
Could this be possible?
I have similar experience with my Bonnie, thought something was wrong with the exhausts or something (but nothing found so far)..
Great review!
Thanks G 😁 yes, strange isn’t it🤔 I have found the same with other bikes😁
It's a lovely bike, a throwback to a bygone era but with a modern twist. A good splash of yellow paint and a bit more cowbell and it'd be perfect 😉😀😂
😂😂😂😂 brilliant 😁 thanks GW 😁
Thanks for a great review of the T100, really helpful for me. Can you say what overall mpg you were getting? Thanks again .
Thanks Ian 😁 I am getting between 65-70 mpg mixed riding 😁
With all the modern tech and environmental standards and regulations its a miracle the bike can look this good and like a classic.
It is 😁 thanks WB 😁
Great bike, had an 865 se before I got the Speedtwin. Dont understand why Fillingham is so negative.
I suspect there are underlying reasons 🤔😁😂😂😂 thanks JY 😁
I have a 2009 T100 s.e. with 45000 klicks on it. its a great ride BUT heavy to push around clunky gear box and small tank.???
All still true on the new ones too 😁 but still just as marvellous 😁😂😂 thanks Jim 😁
Hello - Really enjoy watching your videos and reviews.
Presumably I'm one of the many coming back to motorcycling after a long break and looking to purchase a T100.
However, i have been looking at so many review videos on RUclips on the T100, W800 and now suffering from "Analysis Paralysis! 🙂
Having said that, the T100 looks to be my preferred choice but cannot decide as to whether to go for an older Bonneville or a newer model.
I have seen some very good examples of 20 year old Bonneville's with very low mileage, but thinking that a newer machine would be best.
What do you think?
I think as someone returning I would probably go newer 😁 you can get some good bikes fairly reasonably 😁 thanks mal 😁
Beautiful, beautiful bike. Only concerned if it fits my 6"1" but a longer testdrive will hopefully enlighten me. I do really hope it fits.
Thanks Dutch 😁 I am 6ft 2 and find it absolutely fine 😁 I am sure you love a long ride on it 😁
Thank you @@TAYM . I´m looking forward to my first testride. Also did some diggin´ in the www and with the nice looking Triumph Comfort Seat you get an extra 3-4cm in high ... sounds like a perfect bike gets even more perfect. 🙂A fine day to you and drive safe.
@@dutch3000 thanks D 😁 you might want some bar risers too if you go for the touring seat , just to keep things level 😁
I have the T120 Gold Line. Already had the fuel tank changed for a paint defect. Now the throttle sticks wide open randomly, sometimes sticks at 3500 rpm in town. The high temp alarm always comes on and constantly has a check engine light on now, with only 3000km on it. I've decided it gets one more chance to get fixed at the dealership or it's gone. I love the bike but starting the loose the appeal having to drive it 120 miles to get fixed.
Thanks CG 😁 sounds as bad as my T120 😁 I gave that 2 years before giving up 😁
I would never go 10 thousand miles on a motor cycle motor oil change, especially with wet clutches. I have a Honda Rebel and they say 8 thousand miles for service however I cut that in Half at 4,000. 40 Years of riding and I always add a wind shield. I don't know how people take the blast without one? Kit
Thanks Kit 😁
When they give you oil change intervals it's usually mileage or 1 year whatever comes first. So for us casual Riders they want us to change the oil every year, kind of sad when you're draining oil out of your bike that looks brand new.
Absolutely, I wouldn’t do it unless the warranty was still active 😁 thanks MK 😁
I've deleted my previous post as that opinion of mine seemed even to me a little biased. I shall just try them both on a straight stretch this summer, I also happen to have a 2013 Bonnie 865...but the XV 1100 just pulls my head on the back on every sharp acceleration, which on 865 it just won't happen....
Thanks D 😁 not at all, it’s good that we all have opinions and we all feel things differently 😁 yes, the old 865 are much flatter and don’t produce the max torque until 6k revs and then only have 67Nm 😁 I know what you mean though, sometimes even my classic 500 seems to have more leap 🤔 odd isn’t it😁 thanks D😁
Great review, good and bad bits! Thank you
Thanks JJ 😁
Hi there really like the video I live in Sweden and haven’t tested the bike I have a option of getting a T100 or T120 2022 for the same price I’m riding a SpeedMaster 2012 any thoughts about which bike would be better 😎
You would miss the power on the T100 but appreciate the ease and smoothness of the T100 😁 the problem is they are all such fantastic bikes 😁 thanks SJ 😁
I think some other RUclipsrs (mentioning no names) opinions are very much influenced by factors other than the bikes themselves even now putting down bikes that he's not even seen yet. I agree with every single thing you said even though, for me, the T120 is the one for me. I wouldn't put other manufacturers down they make great bikes at great prices and have a lot of very happy owners but the Triumph just feels special every time I get on it and I could (and do) just sit and look at it. Is it perfect? No it isn't I would say the low down fuelling could be improved (but you soon learn to ride around it) and I don't know if it's just mine but the idiot light for the indicators is not very visible especially on sunny days. Other than that there's nothing I can really think of that is wrong with the bike. As for price value is subjective and some people are as happy as Larry driving a Dacia and cannot see why someone else would spend the extra for the equivalent Mercedes. Personally I think that the Bonneville is worth every single penny over it's budget equivalent but some might not. I will admit I think Triumph do go overboard with the whole Union Jack thing and the whole "Lifestyle" accessories stuff but I guess that is the modern world now.
Thanks Mike 😁 couldn’t disagree with you😁 really there isn’t such a thing as a perfect bike for everyone, only a perfect bike for a particular moment in time for a particular person 😁 if there was, I wouldn’t have 4 in the garage 🤔 maybe I would, but that’s not the point 🤔 in fact I’ve forgotten the point 😂😂😂😂
The T100 Goldline does look wonderful and as you say, it has enough power for practical purposes👍. I have to say though, that the Interceptor comes with a centre stand and grab handles, as well as Royal Enfieldness 😁. I am not sure if my favourite is the T100 or the SV650 as both are great bikes from my point of view.
Yes, yes, yes 😁 it’s the simplicity of these bikes you mention, the thing they all have in common 😁 thanks GBD 😁
@@TAYM Simple, relaxed and fun! 😀

Just a question, when you pass cars like you do in traffic in the oncoming lane, is that something that is legal in England? If I tried that here in the US I would probably lose my license!
Yes legal as long as you don’t cause anyone to swerve or change direction or an accident 😁 or over solid white lines or zigzags 😁

I'd like a new T100 for next bike or a second hand low km T120.A new T100 or Street twin 900 be marvelous can't beat being the first owner & running in your bike.A Stret Twin 900 us 206kg wet & is more my weigh & alloy wheels but does have piddler 12L tank but should be good for 180km hard out riding & 200km normal riding with 1.5-2L left in tank to stop grit in fuel system.T100 has 14.5L tank.
You don't need a big bike on motorway my Interceptor do 75mph all day easy & ton up occasionally passing cars same with Trident 🔱 660.
I have a suspicion that Street Twin 900 12L tank is actually 12.4-12.5L filling level bike or straddling bike when filling.
They said Trident 🔱 is 14L tank till you buy one & read manual & it says 14.4L filling level to bottom of filler neck with a little small gap so Street Twin probably the same.Thst extra .4-.5L is 10km.

Stu brought a T120 the first model & it came with T100 gearbox & had problems & got stuffed around Triumph Head office didn't return HIS calls.
Also got bike back after repairs for recall & had scratch & speedo not working which they refused to rectify which is more dealership incompetence & he had bad luck.Dealership should of not returned bike like that & fixed it for free finding a great Dealership is the key.A dealer who will go into bat for you with any manufacturer to resolve the issues is what you want & keep you going back.
