I’ve been riding the 2007 Triumph Bonneville T100 for over five years now. I love the way it handles corners! The throttle response is immediate, which really enhances the acceleration. Overall, I find it incredibly comfortable for longer rides.

3

Absolutely! The cornering stability is fantastic, especially on twisty roads. It feels very planted, which gives you a lot of confidence!

4

In terms of acceleration, it’s not a sport bike, but I find the T100’s pick-up quite satisfactory for daily riding. It really shines in city traffic as it’s nimble and responsive.

5

I completely agree with hrogers! The T100 isn’t built for speed, but it’s perfect for a relaxed ride. It’s great for commuting, and I find it super comfortable on longer trips too.

What about the seat comfort for taller riders? I’m 6’2", and sometimes I feel cramped. Any thoughts?

I’m 5’11" and find the seat quite comfortable. However, I’ve heard that taller riders might want to look into replacing the seat for a better fit.

Handling in the city is great! But I wonder how it feels at higher speeds? Does it still feel stable?

It remains stable at higher speeds! I’ve taken mine on some highway rides, and it was a blast. Just make sure to watch out for wind because it can be a bit influenced by that.

10

I think the overall ride comfort is where the T100 shines! It’s perfect for weekend rides or leisurely trips, don’t you think?

11

Yes! I enjoy taking mine out for long country rides. There’s just something special about the feel of it on the open road.

I love this bike, but I have to say the brakes could use a little enhancement. Just my two cents!

13

I hear you! The brakes aren’t bad, but compared to modern bikes, they could feel a bit lacking at times.

14

Overall, I think the T100 is a great bike for someone who loves classic styling and a laid-back ride. Definitely worth considering!

15

I can’t agree more with garyboyer! And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a classic bike with some character? It just makes riding feel more enjoyable!

16

Do any of you think the fuel economy measures up? I’m considering long-distance rides and want to be fuel-efficient.

17

It’s decent for a bike in this class! I usually get around 45-50 MPG, which is pretty good for road trips.

18

And don’t forget to enjoy some humor on your rides! I once mistook a roundabout for a racetrack and scared some pigeons—definitely not my finest moment!

19

I’ve had my 2007 Bonneville T100 for a few years now. The maintenance is fairly simple, and I haven’t faced any major issues. Regular oil changes and keeping an eye on the chain lubrication go a long way!

That’s great to hear! I’ve read they are known for their reliability. Any specific common issues you’ve come across?
