Motorcycle User Reviews - 2007 Triumph Bonneville T100 
Bloody Right ... High Tea promptly at 2. Now this is a usable motorcycle ... reminded me of why I ride in the first place ... not the mileage or economy, not the girls or attention ... it's the fun. A kid ... wild abandon ... hair in the wind ... young and free. Around 1970, they abandoned motorcycles and started selling hype ... and all the lemmings followed. Government regulation on fuel efficiency contrasting crotch rocket acceleration ... a never ending dichotomy that can't possibly coexist. 180hp in gravel is silly ... yet we package and sell "sport" as a basic need. Turn back the page ... play ... utility ... efficient. Forward pegs for old knees and a skid plate for young at heart. A back rest for "you know who," and WW2 styled saddlebag racks, some Pelican cases, and we're off ... once around the park, or ATW. Smooth useful power, two feet flat at stops, manageable weight ... and a flat tracker seductively pouting to be let off the leash ... "that's right ... who's your Daddy?" Big enough, small enough, nimble enough, peppy enough, in a world of niche, foufou, and special interests, this one sits smack dab in the middle of my imagination. Tea at 2 ... all's right in the world. I like this bike. -- Rick Modery User Reviews for Other Triumph Models
