Bonneville T120

The Bonneville T120 mounts Triumph's iconic 1,200cc parallel-twin with 270-degree crank — a torquey, character-rich engine that defines classic British twin character — in a package with modern ride-by-wire, traction control, and a 31.1-inch seat. Two open NHTSA recalls for wiring fire risk require remedy verification before purchasing any used example.
