Why buy the Bonneville T100 from Empire
The authentic modern Bonneville — real heritage, modern manners, and strong power for the class.
- ✓The genuine article. The T100 is the direct descendant of the original Bonneville — the silhouette, the badge and the character that every other retro twin is chasing.
- ✓Strong, tractable power. 64 hp and 59 lb-ft from the 900 twin — more usable power than the Kawasaki W800 or Royal Enfield, with modern fuel injection, ABS and traction control.
- ✓Premium finish and support. Wire wheels, brushed detailing, a huge accessory range and Triumph reliability — with Empire here for service.
- ●Straight talk. The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 costs thousands less; the Kawasaki W800 is the more old-school, air-cooled-look ride; and the Moto Guzzi V7 matches the power with its distinctive transverse V-twin and shaft drive. You pay for the T100’s Bonneville heritage, finish and modern polish.
And the price is the price. Our advertised number already includes freight, setup and our documentation fee — only sales tax and title/registration are added.
