The new Bonnevilles will be more beautiful, more powerful and more capable than any of their predecessors. 




Street Twin:

Indicative pricing on the Street Twin will be $8,700 (Jet Black) and $8,950 (Matte Black, Cranberry Red, Aluminum Silver). 


Bonneville T120:
Featuring the iconic character of the original 1959 model, the new T120 is a modern take on the timeless classic. Crafted to the highest standard of detailing, quality and finish, it’s powered by an all-new liquid-cooled 1200cc high torque engine, producing 54% higher peak torque than the previous generation T100.

Bonneville T120 Black:
A blacked-out version of the classic T120, the T120 Black boasts the same 1200cc high torque engine, but with an attitude and styling all its own. It features all-black detailing, including black rims, grab rail, exhaust and engine finish complemented by a sophisticated dark brown seat. Color options for the T120 Black include Jet Black and Matte Graphite. Bonneville T120 Blacks are expected to arrive at dealerships in March. Indicative pricing on the T120 Black will be $11,500 (Jet Black) and $11,750 (Matte Graphite).


Thruxton:
Beautifully styled, with a very high level of finish and detailing, the breath-taking new Thruxton returns the café racer to its performance roots. It features an all-new 1200cc high-power ‘Thruxton spec’ engine, producing an amazing 62% higher peak torque than the previous generation. Mated with an all-new dedicated chassis and suspension, it boasts a level of handling, agility and capability to match its imposing, aggressive styling. Color options for the Thruxton include Competition Green, Pure White, and Jet Black. Thruxtons are expected to arrive at dealerships in May. Indicative pricing on the Thruxtons will be $12,500 (Jet Black), $12,750 (Competition Green, Pure White).

Thruxton R:
The more contemporary Thruxton R is simply the most thrilling and full-blooded sports classic you can buy.

Color options for the Thruxton R include Diablo Red and Silver Ice. Thruxton Rs are expected to arrive at dealerships in April. Indicative pricing on the Thruxton R will be $14,500. 


2016 Triumph Speed Triple S and Speed Triple R

The new Triumph Speed Triple S and Speed Triple R take the legacy of the first factory street fighter to a completely new level in terms of performance, agility, power, handling and capability. Centered around a new 1050cc three-cylinder engine, the new Speed Triple S and R redefine the naked performance roadster. The engine features 104 new developments that combine to deliver more power and more torque across the entire rev range while also delivering increased fuel efficiency. These developments include a new combustion chamber, new cylinder head, a new machined crank, new piston design and new ‘Ride-by-Wire’ throttle bodies. Additional developments also include a slip-assist clutch, smaller, more efficient radiator and a new free-flowing exhaust that has a 70% increase in flow rate.
The new Speed Triple S and Speed Triple R also feature a suite of rider-focused technology. Among the features that add to the Speed Triple’s performance and capability are a new, advanced ECU including switchable ABS and switchable Traction Control. Coupled with the new adjustable Ride-by-Wire throttle, it offers increased feel, responsiveness and control. There are now five distinct riding modes to choose from: Road, Rain, Sport, Track and a Rider Configurable mode that allows the rider to set-up the motorcycle to their personal preferences.

Also key to the new Speed Triple S and R is the aggressive, athletic styling. A low, lithe stance is accentuated by sleek new bodywork and a completely new, Daytona 675R-inspired tailpiece. The narrow, focused design also features the Speed Triple’s signature twin headlights, now redesigned and incorporating new, distinctive accent lighting. All this has been achieved without losing any of the naked minimalist beauty that is synonymous with the Speed Triple.
