Triumph Bonneville

Reviewed: by Visordown

When it comes to classics this is the one. Just the name Bonneville on a bike seems to draw a crowd of admirers from miles around and this one looks the part.

Dude Kriv

I just rode an 08 Bonneville Black 2,000 miles in 4 days around FL and up the East Coast. I was fine at a constant 75-85 mph even with tank bag and panniers. Tank only good for approx 125 miles so too many stops for real touring but fine for 450 miles daily. Compared vs Sportster and other more expensive HDs, Victory, Honda, etc this is the most bike/classic/reliable value option.
