    Good morning,
    I recently purchased a 2016 T120 .After riding it home for 330 miles I looked closely at the tyres and someone had fitted tubeless tyres and put tubes in them ? is it safe to do this.The tyres are close to the end of life so I am going to replace them with Tubed tyres.Anyway my other bike is a 2007 BMW GS 1200R What a contrast in riding, both a lot of fun.
    I was born in 1956 and I used to buy the MCN every week with my pocket money when I was 6 years old.The pages had lots of pictures of Bonneville's in here I am aged 69 and I saw this and couldn't resist.Even my financial advisor (the Mrs) said go on get it.

    @Dogslow I did the same on my two Bonneville's. Didn't make one bit of difference to the riding or handling. And if you are changing soon just ride and enjoy feel how the tyres feel. And if they are near changing someone must have had confidence in them. And welcome to the family. Its a cracking bike. Thanks for the picture.

    Love the bike! Lucky man to have a savvy and understanding "financial advisor"!! My long-suffering bride was equally supportive, even with the second Triumph purchase (Sprint GT 1050 and Trophy SE 1215). Naturally, she loves the passenger seat on a nice day, even in the snowy Rocky Mountains (see my photo)! Enjoy!
