For 2007, England's Triumph has increased the engine size of its classic roadster, Bonneville, up to 865cc. Even with the bigger engine, the bike's low center of gravity and easy handling make it good for beginners,
also.
The Bonneville's road holding, handling and stopping ability is very precise, safe, confidence inspiring. As for the exterior design, the latest Bonneville model pairs authenticity and modernity: it comes with a black engine and polished, lacquered engine covers and a span adjustment clutch lever. Famous designer Paul Smith came up with a signature series of accessories: hand crafted laptop bags, iPod holders and a series of unique custom-painted tank covers, all stylish and, you decide if, useful.
