When the new Triumph engineers brought back the Bonneville they supposedly took inspiration from the 1969 Bonnie. I'm looking at my '69 Bonneville right now (OK its only a Franklin Mint model) and I see a full size tach, two tone paint on the tank, chrome engine covers and knee pads. I just got off my T100 and it has all the same things. I think the basic new Bonneville was the result of trying to make a retro '69 Bonneville while fitting into a cost goal. The T100 costs a little more, but it's the real thing without the compromises.
