I’m well pleased with my 2013 865cc T100, with the exception of the suspension. Still, Hagons and better tyres tamed my Sportster so I’m sure they’ll work on the T100 when I get round to it. I prefer Hagons for bikes like these because they aren’t racers and Hagons give a noticeable improvement at a good price. I’ve still got the long mudguard. The bike came with Dunstalls but I swapped them, got fed up with the racket and the performance isn’t THAT different. It also had a centrestand, which is worthwhile. I’ve now got a King & Queen Seat, touring windscreen and throwovers and it’s well on the way to being a good all-rounder. The finish is rather good, I have no issues and don’t treat it to much pampering, just wash it off occasionally. I don’t ride in the rain much but I do use it all year round. Would I buy a new one? Don’t know. The new water cooled engine is DEFINITELY better. TBH, for the price I’d probably have a Street Twin. I tried one at the local dealer, with the Fox suspension it was very nice; to me, the Street feels more like a Meriden Triumph than the Bonneville/T100 range, it’s lighter and smaller.
