2010 New Triumph Motorcycles Bonneville 60/Sixty/1960 Anniversary Edition

2010 Modern Classics Triumph Motorcycles Bonneville 60/Sixty/1960 Anniversary Edition

2010 Triumph Bonneville 60/Sixty/1960 Anniversary Edition
To add to the Bonneville Sixty’s limited The paint finish has hand-painted pinstripes that give a premium finish. Inspired by the classic colour scheme of the 1960 incarnation of Triumph’s most famous model, the Bonneville Sixty is a limited run of 650 T100s featuring a unique two-tone Meriden Blue/Caspian Blue combination. The Bonneville was first introduced in 1959, although the 1960 Bonneville T120 was commonly regarded as a more handsome creation than the earliest models thanks to its classic blue and grey colour scheme, blade style mudguard and integrated headlamp/instrument nacelle.

And how it is today. Biking the way it was. The 865cc engine, an air-cooled parallel twin of course, is fitted with up to date fuel injection for clean and efficient running and the suspension and brakes are bang up to date too, so you won’t sacrifice today’s technology with your taste of yesterday. Twin pea-shooter exhausts, two-tone paint and that Triumph embossed seat say ‘classic British motorcycle’ but while the T100 may look like its come straight out of ‘the day’, the technology and ride experience most definitely do not.

The T100 is our modern interpretation of the classic Bonnevilles that ruled the roost back in the 1960s. Parallel-twin, spoked wheels and lashings of quality chrome. The classic Triumph. 100% Bonneville. 21st century engineering.

Timeless 60s styling. Each motorcycle features two-tone Meriden and Caspian Blue paint, a numbered handlebar clamp plaque and a certificate of authenticity. Only 600 units of this commemorative edition of the 1960 Bonneville will be built, 100 of which will come to North America.
