Triumph Bonneville T100 2021

In 2021, the Triumph Bonneville T100 not only impresses with its stunningly beautiful design, but also looks better than ever in terms of riding. More power, less weight and higher-quality equipment make it a really fun machine for relaxed rides. From country roads to the hustle and bustle of the city, it benefits from its light handling and powerful engine. Sporty rides are prevented by the soft chassis and the low lean angle, but such a rowdy way of moving is not appropriate for a British lady anyway.
