GIRL’S FIRST TEST RIDE: 2017 Triumph Bonneville T100
Here I test ride a 2017 Triumph Bonneville T100 at Hourglass Cycles in Buford, GA. After riding Kate’s Triumph Street Triple R, I have been looking for a bike with more power!

Im also one of those that has a thing of not buying harley. I was SO close to getting this bike. Loved the retro look along with its conveniences (high mpg, easier to lane split, etc) but then I tried out the new Indian Scout and holy mother I just had to instantly buy one. So damn deceiving for a small beautiful bike
lol I like how giddy you were
The best reaction I saw in a review, for my favourite bike and ive seen a lot, I can so understand and relate on how you felt riding bonnie. 👍🏻
of you are still in the market check out the Honda ctx700 you can find left over 2014 ones for 4k and for the money you will not find a better bike.
I don't think I have ever been so excited. Good for you. You now have a new subscriber
Always love watching your videos they are so fun and I love your enthusiasm 🙂
my ears hurt lol
I love this type of Bike. In this type, I love the Moto Guzzi V7.
Enjoyed the review, thanks!
If the T100 fits you OK, so will the T120.
The T100 is a fine looking machine, but with its larger brother, the T120, you get a third again more displacement, dual front disc brakes, a six speed transmission, center stand, rear grab bar, and the ability to retro-fit a true electronic cruise control. The handling of both bikes is excellent. Yes, the T100 is a little less expensive, but it's mostly made to appeal to buyers who are constrained by licensing or insurance restrictions. When you realize that the T120 gets a consistent 10-15 MPG better gas mileage than the T100, the choice gets easy.
was that good for you too.. ?
What is the difference between the Street Twin and the Boniville?
wow I want to ride with you, you're passionate in all the ways it counts.
Your enthusiasm is most beguiling.
Well Doodle, did you buy the bike?
She will be American then
Cool bike! Had me laughing at your intense excitement. lol
I always liked the Triumphs!
How tall are you? Because I want to get a triumph Bonneville but I worry about my height
She is so annoying in this video.
I think she likes the bike.
You strike me as the sort of person that does the research. I don't care so much for the Harley thing either. I started looking at Triumph's but I can't get much information them such as reliability especially long term. I've seen a few people mention not to by a European motorcycles because of reliability issues, maintenance costs, etc. I'd like to know what your thoughts are. I used to ride sport bikes however i haven't ridden for quite some time and as Ive gotten older I find that I want to relax on something a little tamer. Ive even considered a 05 Yamaha 650 just like yours except in black. I'm drawn to the simplicity, one piston, one spark plug and one carburetor. However i am 6 feet, 235lbs and I don't know if I'm just a little to big. What advice do you offer?
Thanks, Matt.
That's one long screaming orgasm you had when you set off lol…. I had the Bonneville 865cc, now riding a Harley Street 750cc. However seriously considering the Triumph Bobber 1200cc (So pleased Triumph have added fuel gage to the new bikes) x
Lmao😂😂This would probably be me!
It's also very heavy and very tall. I had the Triumph 955i Sprint RS triple for 12 years, and it had 120HP/85lb-ft torque. It also had a 31" seat height 437 lbs. You probably should have tried the Triumph street triple (lighter and faster).
Hi, Doodle! Did you replace your T100?
Thanks for a great video Doodle~! i've test ridden a T-120 from the same dealer in Buford, on the exact same route (Jan told me where to go 🙂 and i haven't been able to get that bike out of my mind!
I love your joy and enthusiasm. I am sure that by now you know it is not a Bone a ville, it's a Bonneville as in the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, from whence it got it's name. They are often lovingly referred to as "Bonnies" and a Triumph is often called a "Trumpet." Great idea to not want a Hardley Running Son (HD) motorcycle, I made that costly mistake many years ago and will not likely travel down that bumpy road again. Trumpets all the way.
I like the riding details that you mention.
