Whats with the airbox?
Everyone knows it's not a proper hipster bike if its got an airbox.

Yeah, you're right.
On the picture I was looking at the angle made it look like it was connected to the carbs.

So SoCal. By way of St Tropez.
At first glance I quite liked it. The more I looked, the more I disliked it.

It'll obviously never get ridden on even damp roads, they'll be cleaning it for a week if they do. (who the fuck fits a rear mudguard only a foot long??)

Stupid brown seat and silly sized yellow headlight.
Blundering about trying not to make too much of a hash of things.

No. I have one on lone from Triumph at the moment and it's completely uninspiring. I can't imagine a colouring it in a bit and a few extras would make any difference.

Re: SUNRISE BONNEVILLE: TRIUMPH T100 ROADSTER
I should have liked it, but this whole brown seat, oddly treaded tyres is really wearing thin!

I like some bits, but hate lots of other bits. On balance I prefer the original.
4/10, could do much better.

I opened it and thought I really liked it, but about a minute later it annoyed me to the point of not liking it, I think it's just trying too hard.
A standard one in that colour scheme would look nice.

Re: SUNRISE BONNEVILLE: TRIUMPH T100 ROADSTER
I had one earlier this year while they did some work to mine and they charged me for the lone which I wasn't expecting. When they said "Sorry about the wait, the card machine is going slow" I said "oh, a bit like the bike you're charging me for". You have to get up to a certain momentum and then not slow down for anything - that's where the fun is.

Re: SUNRISE BONNEVILLE: TRIUMPH T100 ROADSTER
65bhp right?
OK so it's not gonna set your pants on fire but I'd be surprised if its slow. Unless they gave you a restricted one?
It should still outrun most cars up to the limit?
I think people get spoiled by modern bikes sometimes

I saw an original 60s Triumph on the motorway the other day and it was struggling to keep up with the traffic and looked dead wee and nesh.

Re: SUNRISE BONNEVILLE: TRIUMPH T100 ROADSTER
I must admit I did wonder about just how optimistic the Triumph dyno is. I rode the first of the 865s and it wouldn't have outrun my GS500E, supposedly with just over 50 hp. I know the Triumph is incredibly lardy - it was around 50 kgs heavier than the GS500, but 60+ hp should give a top speed of 120-ish...Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Thu Aug 26, 2021 9:35 pm 65bhp right?

Mind you, I wouldn't have been tempted to push it to the limit either, given the incredibly poor suspension. I hope the latest model handles better.

Re: SUNRISE BONNEVILLE: TRIUMPH T100 ROADSTER
Its a pretty motorcyle I reckon.
As already mentioned, I'd want the full fat 1200 Motor from the Speed twin in there. if you're going to all that trouble, you might as well give it max bhp.
I really like the paint, I don't mind a Brown seat and there's nothing wrong with a French headlight. Some of the details aren't to my taste but I wouldn't mind having something like that in the Garage.
