Bonneville Family

Arguably the most famous name in motorcycling and one of the most desirable bikes you could buy in the 1960s, the first Bonneville rolled off the production line in 1958 under the direction of Triumph legend Edward Turner. A race winner straight out of the crate, the T120 Bonneville made its mark as the cafe racer of choice for teenage bikers and professional racers in almost all forms of motorcycle motorsport, from track racing to endurance racing, flat track, trials and scrambling. Famously named after the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, USA, where Triumph smashed the land speed record by going 214mph in 1956, the ‘120’ in the name was chosen to imply a top speed for the day of an unbelievable 120 miles an hour. Reflecting its illustrious bloodline today there is a whole family of Bonnevilles to choose from: the contemporary, stylish Street Twin and Street Scrambler, the cafe racer Thruxton R, custom Bonneville Bobber and Speedmaster, and the timeless classic Bonneville T120 and T100. Each has its own distinct personality and original character, as well as loyal fans the world over. More recently, the Bonneville family has benefited from exciting updates and developments. An enhanced Street Scrambler has brought new dimensions of performance, capability, comfort and style to one of Triumph’s most accessible and easy-handling modern classics, and the Thruxton cafe racing legend has been evolved with a higher specification RS model that delivers even more power, better handling and more contemporary style. In addition, two completely new bikes have joined Triumph’s modern classics range: the Speed Twin delivers next generation modern custom capability and a whole new standard in dynamic riding experience, while the Scrambler 1200 is a category-defining dual-purpose motorcycle that delivers everything you need to take your riding fun to the most exciting level on the road and off it.
