What a looker this is.

& with only 1000 being sold worldwide, it's got a good chance of being the one to collect (if that's what you do with your bike.

)
Me likey.

Called into my Triumph dealer today to tell them about Jeff. & while I was there I threw a leg over the 110 Anniversary model they've got in (No 249 out of 1000). Beautiful bike, with an amazing fit & finish. But it's totally let down by the seat, which is the same ironing board that the stock Scrambler suffers with. The stock T100 SE seat is much more comfortable, & stylish to boot. I can't understand why Triumph went with that seat on a bike that's $3K more than the SE.

. It'd be the first thing I'd change if I bought one, which is highly unlikely. Though that paint job is even better looking in the metal, & the brightwork is truly stunning. Nice bike, shame about the perch.

If it is the same seat as on the T100 HAP has mine, currently being used as a cheese board...
Can't see much special except for some decals and a number.

I like the 110th Anniversary Bonnie more than the McQueen Bonnie.

I saw one in the flesh lefty, very pretty, pity they weren't about when I bought mine, I would of grabbed one and rode the guts out of it on this trip, collectable shelectable, they are made to ride not hide.

We had to use it as a ramp for the cement truck to get in the back yard. Wonderful ramp. Kept the yard safe from ruts and all. What more could you ask of a seat?

You can always restore it later after the engine blows

The real puzzler is why Triumph didn't use the SE seat, which they've got in the parts bin, & is a much better perch.

If I bought one, I'd try & get a seat swap as part of the deal. Though that might affect it's collectability, I'm with Dog on that one. Ride 'em first. Collect 'em if they survive the riding.

It's not about confort but about look
