    After many years of two wheel absence i'm getting ready to buy a new bike. I started out back in CT with a Lil' Indian minibike about 55 years ago, then a Honda 50cc moped, was given a 350 Jawa that I got running and put knobbies on, then a 175 Bultaco that the "adjustable" handlebars would adjust when riding, to a new 71 250 Bultaco Alpina I rode and raced, to a Triumph Tiger 500, a Honda 500 4 (Denver, CO), and finally a Yamaha 650 back in CT.. then life hit, 2 kids, etc. Now I live in Valencia, Spain in 80% retirement and want to get back on two wheels and do some exploring. Always loved the Triumph styling (my brother had a Bonnie and a BSA Lightning hot rod), very pleased to see a dealer very close to my home here.

    This is the T100 I have spec'd out on the Triumph Spain site, did the same for a T120..

    Hi there! Welcome to the forum! ;)
    I would recommend to take the T120, if possible! You will love it!

    Thanks everyone, I will test ride the T100 and T120, the €2k difference is nothing considering the larger motor, better wheels, and 6 speed you get with it.. Also going to test ride many other makes as I am lucky to have BMW/Indian/Moto Guzzi/Kawasaki/Honda all within a walk or short bus ride.. all similar in cost.

    Welcome to The Triumph Forum Patrick. The spec'd up T100 looks great.
