However, the Bonnie is made to the same standards as bikes screwed together in the UK (better, in fact – Triumph actually use tighter quality control in Thailand) but for a cheaper price, meaning a classy device with pleasing affordability. They’ll probably tut at the discreet radiator nestled in front of the engine and roll their eyes at traction control, too. Purists in their Union Flag underpants might grumble about the fact that the T120 is made in Thailand, rather than Hinckley. It’s an easy-to-ride roadster, perhaps closest to Honda’s CB1100 in terms of feel, positioning and dynamic. It has plenty of traditional style, a rumbling touchy-feely engine and lashings of easy-going charm, balanced with up-to-date technology, rideability and accessible performance. The 1200cc parallel-twin Triumph Bonneville T120 sits midway between simple, authentic retros like Royal Enfield’s best-selling Interceptor, and modern bikes in period getup like the BMW R nineT and Yamaha XSR900.
