Motorcycle specifications Triumph 800 BONNEVILLE AMERICA 2006 The Englishwoman goes to the States
presentation of the 800 BONNEVILLE AMERICA 2006
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.
