I'm amazed to see a mainstream factory do something this extreme, rather than "we've added/removed more/less tat".
Well done Triumph!
yes

And isn't the 1200 lump in these new Bonnie's the largest capacity production parallel ever made.....?

No, (I think) that would be the 1700 version in the Thunderbird LT smile

Looks good from the front of the seat back, like a bobber I guess wink. Looks good from the front of the seat forward, like a Bonneville.
For me though, I'm not sure it works as one bike; seems like 2 different bikes joined in the middle (which based on the frame mods it pretty much is).
It would be more cohesive with a smaller tank, some 'space' around the motor, and different bars...








...and a v-twin wink

Decent effort though, and I'm sure it will sell well.

Even the stock silencer looks pretty decent, which when you look a lot of modern exhausts and all the Euro emissions malarkey, is quite impressive too.
