Loved the musical interlude in the selfie segment.

Ok, so today was the day: I rode a bonnie. My heart was set on the T120 over the T100 because of it's better brakes, those lovely fake carbs (so much better than the fake airfilter covers on the T100), the heated grips....just love it. I went over to the dealership on my BMW F650GS. A 15 years old girl which is not the best for highway driving but an awful lot of fun everywhere else. I took place on the T120. Nice comfy seating position. Buttery smooth gears, super stable ride, perhaps a bit heavy yet very easy to flick around once moving. But after half an hour of riding it, I was underwhelmed because, strange enough, I think it is simply too powerfull. I'd say that al least 60% of the power is absolutely and utterly useless in realistic daily driving. And there's no fun having it at your disposal either because you can basically do everything you need to do in the first two gears....! As soon as you open her up, you're speeding. Instantly. I love driving on 60 - 80km/h roads, wich I would do in 3rd to have nice and low exhaust notes. But open her up for a second and you're over a 100 already. Useless. Can't even enjoy that sound of the pipes for more than half a second. Besides, I found the throttle to be very snappy (on/of feeling) that, combined with the tall first gear, driving through a 30km/h zone in town is pure horror. In first gear, which is very aggressive, you'd go over a bump, move your wrist a tiiiiiny bit because of the bump and off you go! So I put it in 2nd gear (where I think any bike should be when not driving away from a stand still). But 1st is so tall that driving so slow in 2nd basically means letting it idle without any throttle for not to go too fast again, which she doesn't like and starts stuttering a bit. So you add a liiiiiiitle bit of throttle, which is so freakin instantaneous, that you're speeding again. Hated it. Eventually I found myself slipping the clutch for a fair bit just to smoothen the ride. And I was in freaking rain mode! This might have been me; maybe I'm simply a shit driver and not used to the ride-by-wire throttle respons (which, indeed, I'm not). I come from a 650cc single cil engine which has a completely different feel (yet often referred to as on/of throttle respons, ironically...). But pretty much in any given gear on the t120, you'll use the tiniest bit of the throttle because otherwise you're speeding. And because of that, you're only a fraction away from that on/of feeling. Now, to get to your and @TheMissendenFlyer 's queston $1,000,000 question: T120 or T100? I haven't ridden the T100 yet but I'm pretty sure that it is is the engine to go with. Yes, you'll loose the twin discs. The center stand. The heated grips. The handrail and the cool carbs. Yes, you'll have the 'baby bonnie' and thus not the 'manly 1200'. But I don't think I'll give a rats ass. Because when I sat down on my beaten-up 2002 F650GS (her name is Melissa, fyi), I remembered how much more fun it is to actually be able to use the power at your disposal sometimes. To pull her through a couple of gears, throw her into a corner and letting her rawr when you drag yourself out of that corner again. Hearing the engine work and give that throttle something to live for. Because on the T120, unless you're on the highway or love driving illegal speeds, all you can do is nibble at it, and perhaps brag about the potential power of your bike without ever, yes ever, using it. I'll book myself a test drive on the T100 and see if I'm right.

You are absolutely right. I had the exact same feeling on the T120. Way too much power to enjoy in town and silly speeds in an instant without enjoying getting there. I rode the street twin, loved the handling but wanted the T120 looks. As it turned out, almost two years later, bought myself a T100 black (matt) and am looooving it. The Captain's emotions are real. Everything is on point. Especially the throttle is way more manageable. The looks, the feel, the rumble, the fun, it is all there. One of the best decisions of my life getting this bike, as it makes your heart happy. Hope you got the chance to ride one of those beauties. Ride safe, Chris

The first bike I started touring on was a then new, 1969 Honda CL-175. Rode from Lansing, Michigan to Stratford, Ontario and from Lansing to Minneapolis, and a few times from Lansing to Chicago. "Cruising" at 60, 65, was somewhat straining the engine. and the seat felt like a 2x4 piece of lumber after 100 miles. We all start riding with a first bike and graduate to larger and more comfortable bikes over the years and as money permits. Right now, the ride is a 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-SE5. But there's always room in the garage for a Triumph Bonneville T120.

Nice review! Had to put my 2010 Triumph STR to bed for the winter here in Eastern Canada, but we have some nice back-roads around here that would be fun on that T100. Pity that people get so hung up on big horsepower when in fact 50-60hp and tons of torque are all you need for real-world riding. I once had a Suzuki VX800 that had around 55 hp to the rear wheel and there was never any shortage of power; it would easily pass a line of cars on the highway in top gear and it would top out at 115-120 mph. The only problem with my STR is keeping my driver's license cos it is so much fun to go fast on.

Certainly a lot to choose from maybe to many? It can get a little overwhelming in the bonnie range but I suppose when you break it down - Scrambler , Bonneville and Thruxton

Really enjoyed the review.... and would seriously consider trading up my 865 black 2014 Bonnie........ but can I just say... to many people 900cc is not quite a little bike ... but in context of your biking history makes sense. ...and 31 minutes before the filtering song.... had almost given up.

@CaptainRambunctious

Ha ha! yes, I know. It took a while, but I like to leave little gifts at the end for those who have the stamina... :-) Very true, but it rides like a small bike to me, and although it's a 900cc, it still feels quite light. I, like you, would consider trading up to this if I had the 865cc just because this handles so much lighter with lower down weight... It's all about the money of course... I hope that you enjoy! Always ride the bike first though... :-) It just feels little to me, when I am rather a large person. At least it didn't feel too small to me, like the Street Twin did... The T120 frame obviously helps... :-) Thank you for watching and for the comment. :-)

Great review as usual, and got me thinking that the T100 might be on the top of my list as a long term replacement for my 865SE for riding sunny day B roads, instead of the too-small ST I recently picked up cheap. As I mentioned in the T120 comments, I was thinking T120 or Thruxton. Today I sat on the Thruxton, feet on pegs, and you're right, the riding position would be too severe on my arthritis, so I demo'd only the T120. I loved the extra power and legroom, but missed the lightweight agility of the ST on those narrow potholed twisties. Not that the T120 wasn't capable enough, just the ST is sooo made for it. It's all about trade offs of course. Now I'm thinking the T100 could be the best of both worlds, especially with some after market mods to shave off a few extra pounds. Do I need the whoomf of the T120 in the real world? Probably not. And I really don't need all those little extras - I'm not planning to ride it much in the rain or cold, that's the Tiger's job. So I'll be demoing a T100 at Pure Triumph Woburn once Storm Doris has abated.

They should invite this guy to call the F1 races. It would be a lot less droll than what you have now. Anyhow, regarding Triumphs I had a 650 Tiger 5 speed back in the day. It was a great bike for a teenager ! A friend of mine recently bought a 1200 Triumph and really likes it. It would be fun to ride motorcycles again. This basic Triumph might prove to be the ticket.

The T 100 is based on the year 1959 Model. This is a decent bike. early 1960s looks.

I would choose the Street Twin over the T100 bc I like cast wheels. However the T120 has cruise control for extended rides. The T120 wins!....👍😺

Jolly good show, Cap’n! I own the air cooled T100, and my choice of bike is largely down to the same reasons you articulated: perfectly usable real- world power , silky torque in our heavy Indian traffic which doesn’t necessitate putting more stress on my poor clutch hand than strictly necessary , and looks. I love the classic look, and hope to participate in the DGR this year. Keep up the rambunctiousness, Sir, you’re a breath of fresh air. Yo-ho -ho!!

how do you like this compared to the street twin? having ridden both, which would you prefer and why? are they both bikes you feel you could take on longer weekend rides?

@CaptainRambunctious

Out of this and the street twin I would buy the T100 because it looks better in my opinion, but really that's all you can take from this... Although, spokes are harder to clean especially in the winter, so the street twin would be more impervious to corrosion as less bare metal... I could easily take these on a long weekend, as I did with my thruxton R which is less practical... However, out of all the 900cc new bikes, I prefer the street scrambler. It's just so much more fun to ride, more direct and easier to control.. So if you like the looks of that, then go for the street scrambler instead... Hope that this helps and thanks for the comment!

At 75 - 80 MPH Is there any buzz or vibration In the handle bars, pegs or seat ?

I don't think so. If there had been, I'd have mentioned it in the video. There is a little vibration at that speed on the T120 and Thruxton, but again, I mentioned it at the time, so I will say that I don't think that there was... Hope this helps. Thank you for watching and for the comment!

Captain R. The triumph dealership I’m dealing with has an ironstone 2020 blacked out t100 win vance&hines exhaust with 156 miles on it discounting it by $1700. Might have to jump on this over the street twin which is $900 more for 2022 model. Will test ride it next week. Quick thoughts on this oh captain?

In terms of weight and handling, would you say it is closer to the Twin or the T120?

@CaptainRambunctious

7 жыл бұрын

Closer to the street twin in handling... The T120 is slightly more 'ponderous' but I use that word carefull as the T120 can hardly be described as ponderous itself... Just using it as a comparison... :-)

Captain. Another t100 question. Picking mine up in June. Would getting a center stand affect its handling? I’m thinking its worth adding. Also, do you do your own maintenance on service intervals or do you recommend having triumph do it?

@CaptainRambunctious

Personally I wouldn’t get one in case it drags when leaning over but they are very useful… if doing lots of miles or touring then much easier to put lube on the chain. Otherwise I’d just use a paddock stand…

I have a 700 GS low that I plan I keeping until the 750 is released. I road and love the street scrambler but torn on the up pipe. I don't see myself going off road. I'm going to ride the T100 today. I also have a street triple. I'm 5'3 tall. I will be buying for leisure riding and that beautiful twin sound. What do you think?

Better look at your R's rear brake again. Pretty sure it's the same thing they put on everything else. Brake pads just need a few miles to bed in on this T100. I'm sure it'll be fine.

You're absolutely right! I bow to your greater knowledge! Yes, could just be the pads need bedding in, or maybe a larger disc doesn't 'bite' quite so well? THat doesn't make sense, but that's an option maybe?!

@saddle8bag

Yeah, physics can be a tricky thing. Believe it or not, friction doesn't depend on surface area. What the surface area provides is means to dissipate heat. Overheating will cause changes to the materials under friction that lead to materials losing their friction. Think heat induced brake fade or tire slip. So being larger, the T100 should actually perform better under duress, all other things being equal i.e. materials & design. I think what may prevent the bike from having as good an initial bite is the fact that the T100 heavier bias ply tires, heavier steel wheels, and heavier brakes lead to more rotational inertia. When it's all said and done, the brakes still have to shed the energy from X lbs moving at Y mph, but that extra rotational inertia may be harder to overcome immediately. Think of why engine flywheels are weighted. It slows the speed at which the engine can speed up and slow down making the ride less herky jerky. On my Versys, I use the rear brake a lot in cornering, because it's bigger and has less engine braking. On my Thruxton, I mostly just roll off the gas to set my corner entry speeds. It behaves much more like bikes I've owned in the past. The Versys was something that took me some time to get used to.

Good review again ! I' ve yet a question: On the website of triumph the width of the handlebars of the t100 is given with 715 mm. But the t120 has 785 mm. This would be a huge difference, I could hardly believe. Is that difference true, can you feel it when driving - or is it a mistake on the website of triumph? - Thank you very much for posting!

Hmm... a difference of 6 cms? I can believe that but I didn't notice the difference... Therefore to me, it can't matter too much if it IS true and not just a typo? Worth asking the question though... I'll email the chaps at Triumph... It certainly wasn't noticeable though...

Whats it like for blipping the throttle when you are putting it through its paces and going down through the box quickly, smooth engine braking? PS liked your Vid.

Very smooth and light. As I mentioned, the clutch is feather light and the gears snick into place beautifully and almost seamlessly... It was a little hesitant at first, but don't forget that it only had 7 miles on the clock at the start of the review. It was fine almost immediately though... Thanks for watching and liking! TBH!

Hi Cap, so close to pulling the trigger on getting a T100. Can you remember if it had any death wobble if you take both hands off the bars? I have a tendency to ride no handed a lot when slowing down towards lights etc when no traffic is about. Had a Yam Bolt 950 cruiser, lovely bike but they would all wobble like crazy when riding no handed so sadly had to sell it. Not advocating riding no handed, just something I like to do. So, does she wobble Cap?

I'd chime in with a "nope" there, no wobble with hands off the bars, no matter the speed really.

For sale: 2014 Bonne T100 like new. 125 miles. Extras. St Louis.

CR, I am a new rider, but an older fellow. I am considering the T100 as a first bike. I was, at one time, leaning towards the street twin because it is lighter but everyone tells me the T100 is as easy to ride. I prefer the classic style of the 100 to the ST. I have taken all the safety classes and am ready to make that purchase. Your thoughts since you have rode them both?

So the $1,000,000 question is would you have this rather than a T120? Would like to have a go on one of these little beasties, I suspect my view may be the same as that I have for the Speed Triple v Street Triple (i.e. sometimes smaller/lighter is better)....personally I can live without riding modes on this type of bike....a bonus that you save a few quid over the T120 too!

Thank you, I ended up going with the T100 black. The price difference wasn’t worth it for me and the back seat of the scrambler wasn’t up to snuff for a passenger, it’s cheaper to put different handle bars on the T100 than it is to buy a new seat for the scrambler. Still in the run in period on my engine but it’s a fun little bike and it has some poke, and sounds fantastic.

It's gutless because Triumph installed a cam which drops off power dramatically after 4500 rpm. Believe it or not, if you fit a normal cam, the 900 will be almost as powerful as the T120. To me, that would be the best option, with the addition of a 6 pot caliper upfront.

I put one of those TEC cams on order for my T100 recently. I may have it installed immediately or later, I was just assuming a limited production run. Yes, I could be annoyed that I'm not getting the full value out of the 900HT for what I paid. However, it's good there's a clear solution and the cam wasn't expensive (~$500 US) so I'm cool with it. I mean, that's way better than $1500 for the V-H exhaust that does nothing but fart louder, yes?
