But nowadays a new kind of fantasy surrounds the well-known curves of the Bonnie the fantasy of a machine from an earlier, simpler age. And even if those over 25 can hardly consider the Fabulous Fifties an age of simplicity, whenever the conversation turns to Triumphs the talk inevitably turns nostalgic. But so overwhelming is the flood of techno marvels from Japan that most enthusiasts probably think that even this latest Bonnie is simply the old one dolled up in new powder and paint. No so: In the biggest single change since the bike got its 747cc engine in 1970, the Amal concentric carburetors have been chucked out, to be replaced with a pair of far more modern Amal Mk IIs. Mikuni-like, they eliminate much of the hassle of the old Bonnies, since they have a single lever-type choke and excellent flow characteristics enhanced by parallel intake tracts. Other changes include the use of "inverted" Girling gas shocks, Dunlop K81/ TT100 tires front and rear (in place of the old squarish K70s) and redesigned side covers. First there's the phenomenal Triumph handling, a thing so unique it's been a cornering yardstick used by motojournalists for over a decade. Indeed, it's that very familiarity with the Bonneville's handling that's bred a certain contempt for it, especially among Triumph marque freaks. What makes Bonneville handling so special today—in the era of monsterbikes—is its effortless precision. This is a motorcycle whose pegs your grandmother could drag, not because they're too lowbut because the bike combines magic qualities of suspension geometry, frame stiffness and mass placement in such a way that no steering input seems to require much effort. This is something we tested further than normal, since we replaced the standard handlebar—an egregious cryptochopper affair totally incongruous among the clean lines of the bike—with an optional ($16) European handlebar with which all domestic Triumphs are equipped. And riding efforts with either bar were precisely the same: so low you only need think the bike through a corner. _____________________________________________________________________ Call our shop at 860-454-7024  if you have any questions!
