What's the difference between the Bonneville and the Bonneville T100?

I can see:
No tach vs tach
No tank knee pad vs pad
Brushed side cases vs chromed side cases
Solid paint vs two tone
$7500 vs $8300, list

What else? I understand mechanically they are the same, correct?

Ron

There is not a whole lot of differences anymore. Prior to 2005, there were a ton of differences.

If you like the colour scheme and the chrome, get the T-100, if not...get the standard.

"edit"

I should clarify.

Up until 2005, it was only cosmetic...for 2005 and 2006, there were a ton of differences....starting in 2007, they are again cosmetic.

When I bought my '06 Bonnie, I test drove the T100 and the standard Bonnie. Other than looks and a tach, there is not much difference. They were comperable in observed power.

The T100 basically is the deluxe model.

I bought the standard Bonnie because I was trying to keep the payments in a strict range.

I have added extras since, and will add more.


It's like having a mistress!

:-D

Thanks for the feedback. I think the T100 has a more classic look with the tank pads, two tone paint, and tach. But I don't like the '07 paint choices. I want one of those orange and white T100's!

Do a bit of searching and asking and I'm sure you will be able to find an '06 with the creamsicle color scheme. Your dealer might be able (willing?) to check around.
