Just back from the launch of the new Bonneville Street Twin in Dublin Triumph.

Tea, coffee, cupcakes and the concealed silhouettes:


After a brief promo talk the new Bonnies were unveiled. There were 3 models to play around with - cranberry red, silver and matt black. Silver could be started and messed around a bit (no driving though).

Quick comparison with current Bonneville - much comfier seat, tank seems to be a little bit higher, very clean looking engine with all the water cooling stuff neatly hidden. I'm not sure about the look of the new clock. In general looks the business with stainless steel exhausts.

I like the red one.





Got the Street Twin t-shirt and a lanyard. Nice.

Greetings

My previous bike was the V-tec VFR. It had all the power in the world, but it was really lost on me. I had a bike that was handling qute well, but with a turning circle of an oil tanker. 90% of my riding is in town. For occasional touring trip I can live with the slow, underpowered, unfaired Bonneville.
