The new Special Edition Bonneville – with its characteristic 865cc engine, retro chrome styling and cast aluminium wheels – boasts an array of enhancements to create a hugely distinctive bike. Whilst the funky red frame and stunning paint job immediately catches the eye, there is a wealth of other changes styling the bike. The front end gets new front indicators, headlight and chrome mounts (as per the Thruxton), whilst the rear end sees the addition of a black pillion grab rail and ‘bash’ plate. Contemporary black mirrors complete the new look. However, it is the red frame and Matt Black and Cranberry Red colour scheme which really grabs the attention. Not to be outdone, and with an eye on function and fashion, the Bonneville SE proudly sports a unique seat design comprising new stitching and vinyl covering.
OK, not a Bonnie - it's my old TR6 - the Trophy - single carb version. Seen here with a cool dude (well it was 1979) at the helm and taking some abuse in a field in Scotland.
Love old pics.. and like that new bonny. glad they have gone back to some shape in the seat. the table flat one dint work did it?
You can still have the flat seat on the T100, but Triumph seem to have now done away with the Bonnie SE which had twin clocks (rev counter & speedo) the lopsided look doesn't work for me. Not that you really need a rev counter, but it just looks right on the Bonnie. Oh & I believe Pidcocks are getting a couple of these.
Hmmm.... I recognise that chap riding the motorbike, now let me think...... View attachment 912 I believe he has moved on from puppets & can now been seen in the Welsh valleys with his fist up little boys & girls. Just saying.... :wink: x
