50th Anniversary Bonneville: Cover Story, Rider Magazine

Just got the latest issue of Rider magazine in the mail, and the Bonnie is the cover story.

Clement Salvatore, a well respected, long-time motorcycle writer, penned both pieces; one talks specifically about the 50th anniversary limited edition Bonneville T-100, of which only 650 will be produced with 250 of those coming to the U.S. The second feature provides a succinct history of varies Bonnie models from Meridien and now Hinckley.

Salvatore's owned many Bonnies in his lifetime, including an '06 T 100 that's one of his current rides. Though he owns many motorcycles, he's managed to put over 10000 miles on his newest Bonnie.

Well written articles and excellent pictures, plus some interesting stats on Triumph world-wide sales for all models and the direction of the company.

ride on

If you're reffering to the ones on the 50th, they are actually a very light blue. I'm thinking they wouldn't look so good on a "cremesicle", but I believe they are available for free with the purchase of any Bonnie 50th, for only $9999.00 US!!!
