Massively experienced road testerOverall BikeSocial rating4/5The Triumph Bonneville is one of those bikes that needs little introduction. Originally released in 1958 and named in honour of Johnny Allen’s 214mph land speed record that was set in 1956 on a Triumph at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, it was only ever going to be a matter of time before the reinvented British brand reintroduced the Bonneville name for a new generation of riders to enjoy.
