2017 Triumph Bonneville T100

2017 Triumph Bonneville T100 sits in the middle of Hinckley's classic-styled range, above the entry-level Street Twin and below the more performance-oriented Thruxton. This is a bike built for people who want the traditional Bonneville look and low-key riding experience without chasing outright speed. Power arrives smoothly and predictably thanks to the 360-degree firing order, which gives the twin a relaxed, evenly-spaced exhaust note rather than the punchier feel of a parallel twin with a 270-degree crank. Around town or on backroads it's an easy, unintimidating machine, more about the sensation of riding than covering ground quickly. The 2017 model carried over without significant mechanical changes from the prior year — buyers comparing it to a 2016 example should focus on mileage, service history, and condition rather than spec differences. Typical buyers are riders moving up from smaller-displacement machines or returning to biking after time away, drawn to the classic silhouette and manageable power delivery rather than outright performance. It also appeals to commuters who want something with personality for daily use. Collector interest remains low, so this is a bike bought to be ridden rather than parked and admired.
