2002 Triumph Bonneville T-100 Centennial/100th Anniversary Limited Edition, Rare 2002 Manufactured 03/2002, Excellent condition, Low Mileage, Very Collectable Bonneville as there are only a few actual 2002 T-100 Centennial/100th Anniversary bikes, most were badged as 2003s because of the fire at the Triumph plant in March 2002. From Wikipedia about " Triumph Bonneville T100" and then section on "Triumph 100th Anniversary Limited Edition": Triumph 100th Anniversary Limited Edition 2002 was the 100th anniversary of Triumph motorcycles (1902 was first year for Triumph) and for this special event Triumph planned to produce a limited number of centennial Bonneville T100s in a "Lucifer orange" and silver paint scheme. But on 15 March 2002, while in the midst of preparing for its anniversary, its main factory was destroyed by fire, crippling most of its manufacturing capacity. Only a handful of centennial edition T100s were produced in March 2002 before the fire, making them very rare. The remaining production run of centennial edition T100s were actually 2003 models that were built after the factory was repaired from the fire damage; these remaining T100s had to be 2003 year models as it was after September 2002 (into the 2003 model production year) before production started again. Even combining the 2002 and 2003 bikes produced, there were only a few of these first-year modern T100 bikes manufactured. Although exact numbers were not disclosed, the factory had promoted a limited run of 500 total units I'm the original owner and this 2002 T-100 Bonneville is in excellent shape. Title in hand, only selling because I just have too many bikes and I've decided to let this one go. I know I will regret it, but it is time as I'm more into off-road riding with the kids now. No trades, just looking to sell. Please if bidding be a serious buyer and be able to take great care of this bike and understand how special it is. Bike is also for sale locally until there are bids on auction. Pics were taken right before auction listing posted. Don't miss this awesome Bonneville, would guess there is not a nicer 2002 T-100 Centennial/100th Anniversary bike out there unless it has never been ridden.

I had the letter mounted in a frame behind ultraviolet glass for protection. I knew down the road there would be much speculation as to how many exist even as you yourself don't know. I too bought one of the approximately 96 and wanted current proof. Fire was in March and letter is dated May! This info should increase interest in your bike sale.

Close to perfect for a 13 year old bike with 2,295 miles, but it is a 13 year old bike with minimal use, please let me know of any questions you may have and review pics closely. Good luck bidding
