2016 Triumph Bonneville T120 Video Review
For 2016, the ground-up new Triumph Bonneville comes in two visually disparate color options: the T120 and T120 Black. There are no performance differences between the two unless you consider back-in-black badassness to be a performance advantage. Both models begin with a base model price of $11,500, rising in $250 increments according to paint options.
2016 Triumph Bonneville T120 First Ride Review
The fuel-injected, liquid-cooled parallel-Twin powering the new Bonneville is defined by its torque production, which is plentiful, and placed very low in the rev range. Triumph engineers scrutinized every detail of the Bonneville to deliver a nicely packaged, modern interpretation of a classic icon. The Bonneville comes equipped with ride modes, traction control, ABS and heated hand grips. Cruise control is an available option. In addition to the Thruxton and Thruxton R, and Street Twin, the two T120s bring the Bonneville family count to five ranging in price from $8700 ( Street Twin) to $14,500 ( Thruxton R).

Nice video. Good music, cool fotage. Liked your genuine smile, when you were talking about all the improvements.
Less or no music please. Louder exhaust volume on more moving footage. (Footage? In digital? Whateva.) The two tones look sweet.
