Bonneville T100
New for 2008:
- New 2008 colours: Claret/Aluminium Silver with
gold coachline, Forest Green/New England White with
gold coachline
ROADSTER DELUXE
Adding subtle touches to the uncluttered Bonneville
form, the T100 wears a little extra to mark its connection
with the classic ‘deluxe’ speedster
of the sixties. Its full-blooded and responsive 865cc
parallel twin-cylinder engine delivers throaty acceleration,
amplified by the mellow backbeat from its twin peashooter
exhaust pipes. Maximum power of 67PS (66bhp) arrives
at 7,200rpm, with peak torque of 71Nm (52ft.lbf)
delivered at 6,000rpm.
The chassis – a tubular steel frame, 41mm telescopic
forks and chromed twin rear shocks – offers secure
road-holding, effortless steering and easy-going manners,
just as you would expect of a bike derived from Bonneville
heritage. Likewise the powerful twin-piston calipers
operating on front and rear discs ensure excellent
stopping ability.
Completing the T100 are a tachometer, rubber knee
grips and chromed engine covers. Accessories available
for the T100 include classic chromed extras such as
a front mudguard, side stand and cam cover, as well
as practical additions like the fly screen and tank
bag. The sixty8 range of accessories
can also be fitted to the T100.
The elegant two-tone paint options for 2008 include
Jet Black with a Fusion White infill, Claret with an
Aluminium Silver infill, Forest Green with a New England
White infill, all of which come with a gold coach line,
and Jet Black with Tornado Red infill with a silver
coach line. The T100’s coach lines are all skilfully
hand applied, with each craftsman initialling the underside
of a completed tank.
The Bonneville T100 is a timeless machine and remains
the very epitome of elegance and style, underlining
the power of individuality.
