Just had a testride on the T120 after renting a T100 two weeks ago and WOW what a difference! Two completely different motorcycles! The torque of the T120 is amazing and feels great, the cornering and general feel of the bike however feels way more heavy. Not good or bad just totally different. For me I come to the conclusion I really appreciate simplicity AND light bikes. I'm going for the T100 and I plan on using it everything really (town rides, camping and travels). What can I say: the T100 simply puts a smile on my face other bikes so far haven't. No rocket science but simply following my emotions... Thanks for the great review, really liked your enthusiasm that kept growing in the video! Greetings from the Netherlands, Gert

Completely agree, The T120 definitely has more grunt but overall the T100 feels better to ride. Much better around town and tight twisty roads. The T120 has the edge on the highway but the T100 is perfectly fine and understressed at highway speeds. You don't buy a Bonneville for speed, it's just the feel of the bike and the ride, that's what I always have to explain to people. The T100 is just right!

You got it to the Point! Your compairism T100 - T120 is exactly what I found out. So I took the T100, I never regret . And yes, I feel british when cruising with my T100 here in Germany 🇩🇪

I have the older water cooled (2017) T100 . It's a great machine all you say is true. It's also very frugal on a run, the best mpg I get is 83. The bike is also easy to service. plugs and valves every 20k and the rest oil and filter every year is a doddle. The front tires seem to wear out before the rear which seems strange. but overall would recommend.

Great review. My 2017 T100 is still my go to bike. Did 3000ml 2week trip which included the NC500 and I loved it. Easily keep up with my brothers Moto Guzzi v850 TTT and with Triumph King & Queen seat and Tec dropped foot pegs very comfortable. Averaged 72-75mpg so easy 200ml tank range. I put a Tec cam, decat, dyno jet power commander and and a Nissen 3 pot caliper on the front so it’s probably similar to the latest upgraded T100 with 60bhp at the rear wheel. It’s suspension’s been sorted by MCT and it’s my “keeper” bike, absolutely love it!

I loved my T100. Had it for a couple of years. Changed to the Speedmaster, but only because the SM has such a fantastic relaxed riding position (and relaxed engine, gears, etc. All geared to being an 'easy rider') which suits my dodgy knee perfectly. If the SM weren't just that bit more perfect for me, personally, I would have stuck with the T100. Though, would I have been tempted to a T120?... Must try one for comparison...

I’ve ridden the 2022 Speedy, T100, and T120 along with other brands. The T120 was by far better for me in town and out on faster roads, country and highway. The T120 is just as nimble and I love the power if I need it. I do have a smaller inseam, so that’s the only thing the Speedy had over the T120 for me. I had to get rid of my 1200cc Harley Custom as it was too heavy (distribution of weight too) and too shaky for body pretty much over 30 mph. You really should try the T120 too! :).

Either way it’s a HUGE improvement over the Harley with my aching body and needed to ride for mental health and my wallet with gas being so pricy. You can’t hardly beat 70 mpg! I’ve watched many of your videos and others also and made my decision with a pros and cons list. as both bikes were so well loved. You were swaying me.

Very nice video on the Bonneville T100. I live in the states where we have many divided highways and the speed limits are 70 mph. That being said I think I would have to choose the T120 for the more relaxed engine speed at such speeds. There are other reasons, The T100 have a polished exhaust system where the T120 is chrome. I like the T120 Gold Line where the fenders are painted to match the sides of the fuel tank, and I like the polished wheels over the black ones. The T120 also has gaiters on the forks instead of the little cheap looking plastic guards and cruise control is standard on the T120. I know the T120 is a lot more money, but I like it. I just wish I could buy one, but due to my wife's health issues I have to keep the motorcycle I now have. Happy riding to you, and stay safe.

The T100 for me is perfect. The 900cc engine is an absolute gem, extremely smooth off the bottom and at road speeds. It's beautiful and healthy as well. The power/tourqe fits the bonnieville better than the 1200cc. The ratios are tall, and you can cruise at 70mph around 3600 revs, not bad when it revs out to 7500. The tourqe gets you moving and makes it feel faster than it is. Overall its a motorcycle that makes you get out and enjoy the ride!

I have the T120 and never ridden this one you tested on the video. These Bonneville are very well done motorcycles and a lot of fun to ride on B roads. On the highway the T120 can achieve interesting paces but there’s a problem:- The people that drive cars on those motorways think, “ there is a motorcycle , a classic one, slow…but riding fast, I’m gonna overtake it!”, and they change their speed to catch you. It’s just stupid!!!? What for? What is there about this bike that provoques them? When I am riding my SDGT, in a very calm way on the highway, no one dares to overtake…they just wait behind the motorcycle…In conclusion:- I love the bike but for all reasons I prefer to ride it on back road courses, on a more relaxed way. I’m sorry but I don’t understand what you mean about “feeling British “ riding this bike…I don’t feel japonese riding a Yamaha or German riding a BMW. Greatest masterpieces after being made and when they become iconic, it turns out belonging to the world, not to the Author anymore or to one People, isn’t it? Don’t be so proud, after all we are only passing through in this world and for a very short period of time! Be well, ride safe and thank for the T100 video. Enjoyed almost everything in it and subscribed the channel ✌️✌️

Hi thanks so much for your subscription and really pleased you enjoyed the video. That is a very good point I know exactly what you mean when cars try to over take a classic looking bike. I think they either want to get a good look at it or they think they should be going faster than it!! I didn't mean the British thing as a bad point! It is just a feeling I get, it is quite obviously a classic British looking motorcycle. Much like Harley Davidson's have that American style (which I love). I agree though I don't feel particularly German riding a BMW!! Cheers

There is nothinng whatsoever wrong in taking pride in your countrymens achievements...The Beatles are British, Elvis is American. In USA sales of Triumphs stalled when it was announced that they were to be built in Thailand. Enfield make much of the fact the Interceptor Is designed and built in Britain. Indian owned Norton proudly claim their bikes are British made. It is called heritage and it matters a great deal.

@@asacarrick1385 So you say and I obviously respect others opinions. Although nothing is mentioned in that sense on the video. The word “heritage” is not used once. And I agree. Heritage is of course an important value. My observation, if you read carefully is not meant to diminish Heritage but only accent that human creation achieves an higher ground and meaning when it is worldwide shared. The Origin is important but the destination and results are by my view, what gives relevance to the origin of that objects creation.

Does it feel to you, while riding this bike, that there should be a 6th gear? Have heard a few people think that it is less relaxing to ride out on the highway, because it feels like there should be one more gear…..

I don't think so that much. It would be nice but you are not missing out on much. The 5 gear is quite long anyway. If you want to be more comfortable on longer rides then the T120 is a better choice 👍

way too much Black on this bike. Still good to hear an English voice presenting an English bike...I have a 2017 T100, 112,000 Km on the clock and still loving it

I'd have to say, until you get up in the 70 mph range, the 900 is probably gonna seem plenty peppy. At 70 or so is when you feel the difference. That extra gear and 300 cc,s makes the difference. Thanks for the ride ✌️

I think I agree! The 1200 would be better for longer distance rides etc... But for pleasure rides on a country road the 900 is great 👍 Cheers

@@redangrevival Oh for sure. I have a 2005 t100, and it's just fine. I always wish they'd have added that 6th gear. Just to tach down the engine when highway riding. But then no one would buy the 1200.haha. All the bikes I've owned have been under 900 cc,except the VMAX. But it wasn't a cafe style bike. But it sure was a highway machine. Anyway you're definitely correct. The 900 is just fine for a commuter and nice bike ride. And you can't beat the looks. Thanks again 👍

Great looking bike......but what a pity those spoked wheels run tubed rather than tubeless tyres. Also, those Pirelli Phantom tyres are dreadful in the wet. And why do Triumph plaster such a beautiful tank with idiot stickers - more than any other manufacturer?
