Triumph T100 Bonneville 50th Anniversary
2009 Triumph Bonneville T100 50th Anniversary Edition
Based on the standard Bonneville T100, the Triumph Bonneville T100 50th Anniversary pays homage to its 1959 namesake with a unique paint scheme and exclusive extras. Each Bonneville 50th Anniversary will come in a special two-tone Meriden Blue/Exotic Orange combination, complemented with hand painted gold pinstripes. The livery echoes the 'Tangerine Dream' design that proved such a talking point on the 1959 originals. Only 650 Bonneville T100 50th Anniversary edition bikes will be produced, echoing the engine capacity of the original Bonneville, and each will be individually numbered and identified with a brass plate on the handlebar clamp. In addition, each bike comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by John Bloor, owner of Triumph Motorcycles Ltd. Other features of the Bonneville 50th Anniversary include a unique seat with white piping and a gold Triumph logo, special Bonneville 50th Anniversary logos on the side panels and a chromed cam cover.

and 50th
Anniversary
Special Edition
For 2009
Triumph has
taken inspiration
from the
70s for
the iconic
Bonneville, with significant
updates for
the coming
year and
a new
version, the
Bonneville SE, also
joining the
range. Both
models feature
authentic retro
styling plus
a host of chassis
changes aimed
at making
the bikes
easier to
ride and
giving them
an even wider
appeal. Visually,
the most
striking difference
comes with
the new
17 cast alloy
wheels at
the front
and rear,
shorter mudguards
and stylish megaphone silencers
from the
sporty Thruxton.
New
handlebars are
closer to
the rider
and the
seat height
is reduced
by 25mm, making the
riding position
more relaxed
and accessible.
The smaller,
lighter front wheel helps
make the
new Bonneville
an even
more manoeuvrable
and agile machine. Complementing
the clean
lines are
classic black
or white
color options.
The higher-specification Bonneville SE features an array of special equipment, including a tacho, chromed tank badges and brushed alloy engine casings. The SE comes in a choice of solid Jet Black or a classic two-tone livery combining the dark Pacific Blue with Fusion White.
Riders looking for a Sixties-style Bonneville are catered for with the wire-wheeled T100 model, which has been updated with detail changes for 2009. The retro classic gets new handlebar clamps, restyled footrests, black clock surrounds and a white Triumph logo on the seat, while fork gaiters, previously available as an optional extra, come as standard.
Triumph also unveiled a limited edition 50th Anniversary Bonneville, based on the T100, and celebrating 50 years of this iconic motorcycle. Only 650 Bonneville T100 50th Anniversary edition bikes will be produced, echoing the engine capacity of the original 50s machine. Each will be individually numbered and identified with a brass plate on the handlebar clamp and a certificate of authentication. Other features include a unique orange and blue color scheme based on the 1959 Tangerine Dream original, white piping and a gold Triumph logo on the seat, special decals on the side panels and a chromed cam cover. Although the Bonneville family share the same name and timeless looks of the 60s and 70s machines, they feature a modern chassis and fuel-injected, 865cc twin-cylinder engine.
