Selling my Rocket III and looking to buy either a Triumph America or a Bonneville.

Researching I find no difference between the Bonneville and the T100 other than cosmetics, e.g., the engine specs and performance, etc., are identical.

Am I missing something here?

Let me know.

ride on

About the question of getting an America or Bonneville. Do you want to look like a cruiser dude with the air blowing up you pants leg? Do you want to just ride out the expansion joints or pot holes instead of standing up on the pegs?
Personally I wouldn't let a cruiser with forward controls set in my garage. Dumb look.

yeah, that's why I'm going to get a Bonnie v. America. . .most elemental Triumph. . .and yes, I do like the peg location better on the Bonnie. Gotta love the 07 Bonnie Black

I'd get the '07 black with the 865 motor.

Just out of curiosity, why are you unloading the rocket?

I almost traded my Bonnie in on a Rocket, but I'm glad I didn't.

The T100 also comes with span adjustable clutch and front brake levers although the regular bonnie comes with the adjustable clutch lever in 2007 I have heard. Ed

love the rocket, but my riding conditions have changed, e.g., more city v. highway and. . .while I love the sound of that triple winding up. .. I miss the t***** of the twin. . .

ride on

btw: looking at Sprint aftermarket pipes for the Bonnie. . .
