    Hi everyone, a belated happy Christmas to you all.

    I've ridden Triumph for ten years now, first a Sprint ST, then a Tiger 1050 and then a couple of months ago I bought a new T120. I tour Europe every August with my wife on pillion and have no doubt the Bonny will cope admirably.

    I look forward to learning lots from the forum!

    Hi and welcome Steve. Looks like you might be an Exmoor Somerset person? Not very far away from my mid Devon location so feel free to drop by whenever the urge for a coffee and chat are needed. In the meantime, enjoy the rest of the Christmas break and have a happy, safe and Triumph-ant new year!

    Hi and welcome, how you finding the twin after the triples? Both Sprint ST and the tiger 1050 are awesome bikes, reckon a bit of a different ride on the bonnie for you.

    I've only done running in mileage so far but really love it. Very different to the triples. I was finding the Tiger quite top heavy while touring two up with luggage the last couple of years, nearly dropped it in France this year and my first thought was "I need a Bonneville"...no regrets so far!

    Thanks, wasn’t sure which colour to go for until I saw this in the showroom, then there was no contest!
