Motorcycle specifications Triumph 800 BONNEVILLE AMERICA 2002 The Englishwoman goes to the States

presentation of the 800 BONNEVILLE AMERICA 2002

to escape to the American continent, Triumph took a serious look at the Bonneville. More than just subtle modifications, the 800 has undergone profound changes. The fork is wider, the fuel tank more muscular, the seat is lowered one level and the footrests are moved forward. A host of little extra details and the Bonneville adopts a "big cruiser" look. The engine, too, has had its innards worked on by skilled hands to give it a more Rican image and personality. As a result, the bike is more generous in its vibrations, voice and sensations. A more playful attitude that takes America cruising, thanks to a longer gear ratio. In this more "Route 66" version, the Bonneville takes on some weight, but this is not detrimental, as the English beauty still offers healthy handling and pleasant overall ease. However, this "Americanization" also translates into less-than-pleasant suspension and braking that must be used sparingly, as the single front disc is responsible for slowing down this beautiful beast.

Eric 1961 Model 2002

Hello, I am very satisfied with my Triumph purchased in 2023. It's beautiful, Black and Silver, in collector condition. I added a driver's backrest, that's all. It's unique because of its condition, it's very comfortable, and has a very distinctive sound. I refilled the tank at 200 km. I put in a Led bulb, because it was so hard to see. The only drawback is that when you want to turn it around, you can't let yourself get carried away, because it's so heavy you can't hold it back. As long as I could, I'd keep it. What a cool bike. And what a unique look. 11/15/2025 10:44 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Eric 1961

Bjr, what is the purpose of the pull tab behind the footstool?

Pat

the tab on the footstool provides easy access to the bolt that secures the footstool so that it can be lifted to pass the straps of a pair of panniers.

I own a Bonneville América and when I ride it, I see life in pink
i'd like to know how many have been sold in France, because I've been told that there aren't any.
