Description

A legendary classic.

A legend was born the day the Triumph Bonneville was named to commemorate a Triumph breaking the motorcycle speed record on the famous Bonneville Salt Flats.

Synonymous with the rebellion and independence of its heyday, today’s Bonneville is powered by a fuel injected, air cooled, 865cc parallel twin that still delivers that unique Triumph sound and feeling.

A Legendary Classic

New for 2009, the Bonneville gets an authentic 70’s look that’s sure to appeal to riders of all ages and experience.

New 17” cast wheels sharpen the handling whilst the short front and rear mudguards, lower and narrower seat and upswept megaphone style silencers are pure 70’s styling and give a fresh sportier look.

ENGINE

The Bonneville features a fuel injection system designed for clean running and to meet Euro 3 legislation. The retro styling remains uncompromised though, as the fuel injectors are cleverly concealed by throttle bodies designed to look like traditional carbs. Polished alloy side covers come as standard on the new Bonneville.

WHEELS

The Bonneville sports stylish new lightweight 17” cast alloy wheels for 2009, creating an all new look and improving the bike’s agility and low speed handling characteristics.

EXHAUST SYSTEM

Stylish megaphone exhausts mimic those sported by the raciest bikes in the 1970s.

BRAKES

The braking set-up of single front 310mm disc and 255mm rear, both worked on by powerful twin-piston calipers, offers sensitivity, control and ample stopping power.

SEAT

The 2009 Bonneville’s comfortable seat is 35mm/1.3in lower than on previous models. Combined with a revised riding position, the latest Bonneville provides a more relaxed and accessible ride than ever before.

CHASSIS

The Bonneville’s low seat height (740mm/29.1inches) and low centre of gravity make it a manageable motorcycle that all riders – ranging from those with little experience to those with lots – can appreciate. The tubular steel double cradle frame is incredibly strong while offering light and precise handling.
