The result is our pick of the 10 best overall, both from the original Meriden Triumph concern and from John Bloor’s revived Hinckley Triumph from 2001. The choice, of course, is subjective. But there’s also no doubt that the bikes we’ve picked, if not THE greatest, are certainly up there with the best and make great classics, or modern ‘runarounds’...
In the classic bike world original, first editions are always the most desirable even if they’re not actually the best bikes. We’ve told the story of how the first ‘Bonnie’ came about before, so we’ll be brief here: Basically a twin carb version of the then single carb 650cc T110 Tiger, the first model was built at the request of Triumph’s US impor...
Although not the first, the 1968-1970 T120 Bonneville is generally considered as the best, purist incarnation of the original 650cc twin before things started to go ‘south’ with the controversial ‘oil-in-frame’ 1971 model. (It’s also, incidentally, the model which most inspired the revived, Hinckley Bonneville 800 of 2001.) Benefitting from a raft ...
The 1970s, despite the Bonneville receiving a whole series of updates, was generally a period of slow, tortured decline for Triumph, by now rife with commercial and industrial problems, and for the now conspicuously aging Bonneville itself. 1971’s new ‘oil-holding’ frame was poorly received, in 1972 a five-speed gearbox was introduced, while in 197...
Although by 1979 Triumph was a shadow of its former self and its Bonnevilles were completely outperformed and largely ridiculed, a few models still stand out. That year’s T140D, for example, was certainly not the fastest, best or most valuable, but it still stands out for being one of the best-looking Bonnevilles of all. Born on the back of the lat...
Strictly speaking the TSS and TSX weren’t Bonnevilles at all as Triumph actually never named them as such. To all intents and purposes, however, they certainly were, being based on the T140 but with new barrels and 4v heads. As such, with bankruptcy looming larger than ever, they were not only Meriden Triumph’s last roll of the dice but also, argua...
After the collapse of Meriden Triumph in 1983 John Bloor famously bought the rights to the Triumph name for a reported £250,000 before the Midlands entrepreneur spent the next seven years developing an all-new facility in Hinckley and range of modern machines. Conspicuous by its absence, a new Bonneville didn’t join the new Trophy, Trident and Dayt...
Although the very first Hinckley Bonnevilles were largely unremarkable, their popular success led to an increasing number of up-specced spin-off models, among them bikes like the more 1950s style T100 and café racer Thruxton (both in 2003) and limited edition variants such as the Ace and Newchurch. One of the first of the latter type, and among the...
Another of the very best limited edition versions of the Hinckley Bonneville T100 came just three years later and was built to commemorate another 50th anniversary – that of the filming in 1962 of The Great Escape in which Steve McQueen made the most famous cinematic motorcycle jump of all, aboard a Triumph. In truth, the bike actually used back th...
When Triumph introduced an all-new Bonneville family of machines in 2016 with equally all-new 900cc and 1200cc parallel twin engines, two bikes in particular stood out: the all-new T120 Bonneville, now more powerful, better braked, more substantial and better equipped all-round and the café racer version, the Thruxton 1200. Larger, more powerful, w...
