Triumph Bonneville T120 Ace Café reviews

It is the most comfortable ride! This bike allows you to take curves with ease. Shifting is so smooth. 5th gear at 50 mph is unbelievable! It corners with confidence. My wife and I both have one and riding this bike is just plain fun! Show less

It's been 27 years since I had my last bike and this one exceeds all expectations. The quality has been outstanding so far. It is satisfying to watch all the expensive bikes get passed by while my Bonneville receives the looks and smiles from both young and old. The bike is beautiful and classic. Best of all, it inspires excitement and conversations with many of the old-timers. Show less

This is my fifth bike. My last one was a Sportster 1000. The dealer installed the Arrow 2-into-1 exhaust for me and I love the look and performance. I love this bike. It is a joy to ride and takes any of my Appalachian hills in Western MD at 90 mph with no problems. It swings through the curves of our secondary roads. It is a new classic. I can't wait to give it to my grandson when he turns 18. It is my first Triumph, but it won't be my last. I have had no disappointments. My buddies that had Bonnevilles in the 70s love the looks, and always ask about the vibrations, and I tell them that's the only thing missing. Show less

After reading all the reviews and not wanting to get another sport bike, I decided on the Bonneville. It is a cross between sport bike and cruiser. My last bike was a Honda 919 but the Bonneville is not far behind in the power or handling. I just can't help but smile when I ride this bike. It is a classic looking bike that gets a lot of looks and comments. You don't see these bikes all the time like some other brands, which I like. It rides great and is very comfortable and nimble in traffic. I ride in rush hour traffic and it is easy to get around. Show less

I'm pretty happy with my 2008 Bonnie. It's still the carbureted version here in the states. 2009s will get the FI. It's pretty quick for me and I never have an issue where I need more power. It has the new style tank that's a little taller to get set to use the FI pump even though mine doesn't have it yet. It uses plastic tank badges which kind of sucks but I can live with it. Those are my only gripes. It has been wonderful. The green and ivory paintwork is beautiful. The retro look has people breaking their necks to get a second look at it while I'm riding it. It gets around 50-60 mpg depending how I ride it. I'm looking forward to riding the tires off of it this summer. I'd buy it again tomorrow if I had it to do over again. Show less

I was going into my last year of HS in 64 and I had my favorite bike - my Bonnie. Since I have owned many other makes including 2 Harleys as recent as 2000 (new Softtail) and 2003 (new Soaring Eagle Deuce). I sold my last Harley in 05 and bought my T100 6 weeks ago. It's by far way more fun to ride than any bike I have had before. The new Triumph is more than great. For the money you can't beat it. If you want a bike with great handling and enough power buy a T100 or a Bonnie! Triumph is better than I thought it would be. By the way, I got a thumbs up from 3 Harley riders this last weekend. Many think it's an old Triumph that is taken care of. I love everything about it! Show less

I had ridden Triumphs back in the 60s. I have always wanted to get another one. After scanning the reviews I decided to get a new one. I have had no leaks and no electrical problems. It is a lot of fun. I can't believe the power! I just love it. I am always getting comments on it (great restoration). Show less

I haven't ridden a Triumph since the 1970's. I have since been riding Hondas for their reliability. However, when I saw the Bonneville T100, nostalgia took over and I had to get one. It was the best decision I have made in bikes in years. Triumph has solved the old problems of oil leakage and electrical problems, while preserving its timeless good looks. The bike is very responsive and has a great center of gravity. While not super fast, it is fast enough to cruise on the highway comfortably and a lot of fun to ride. Show less

'Best bike I've ever had. More dependable than my old Kawasaki, great looking and great handling. 10,500 miles since last week in August '06. Could use dual front disc brakes as an improvement, not to mention the stock Metzlers are not all that sticky. Old school upright riding position with a slight forward lean, but at 65mph who notices? Excellent balance as well. Gone 120mph more than a couple times. GREAT BIKE! Show less

I had not been on a street bike for 15 years before easing back onto the road with my new Bonneville. What a great way to get back out on the road. The handling is fantastic. The retro style is what really caught my eye. Triumph knows what they are doing cause now I am looking at a Speed Triple. Show less
