Triumph Bonneville T120 Black 2016

With the latest generation of the Bonneville, Triumph has managed to combine the past and history with the future and modernity. The look is pure and beautiful, the current technology masterfully integrated. The thick pressure from the rev cellar will be exactly what many classic fans have been looking for, to be virtually nowhere to be found in traffic. The Bonneville is still and more than ever a pleasure motorbike par excellence.
