2001 Triumph Bonneville Custom

2001 Triumph Bonneville Custom

Where the US had Harley Davidson, the UK had the Triumph. Triumph has a long history with bikes stemming back to the 1880s when they were producing what you would more likely consider a bicycle. They would go on to become the largest UK owned motorcycle manufacturer and the rights to the name were sold in the 1980s. Taking inspiration from their most popular bike, the Bonneville, Triumph reintroduced them in 2001. The name was chosen after the Salt Flats where Triumph pursued land speed records. The idea was to incorporate modern tech with the older look down to details like the authentic styling of the parallel twin engine. They did everything they could to provide the feel and sound that made the T120 Bonneville a legend but the proffesional builders at EuroCycle decided someone needed to kick it up a notch.

They took this very cool 2001 and modified it with the cafe racer styling made popular in 1960s London. If features a gloss Black tank with a custom Bright Red center stripe. This is then combined with a Red powder coated frame, Black powder coated wheels with stainless spokes, sport bars, billet mirrors, rearsets and even the X tape inspired headlight cover. The bike has just been gone through with rebuilt carburetors and run great. It sounds good, has plenty of power, and is a super fun bike to ride.

If you want a fun bike to play with that will also get some attention, this Bonnie will fit the bill.
