Bonneville 800 | Classic bike | Modern classic | Motorcycle rally | Auctions | 2001

The 790cc Triumph Bonneville was introduced in 2001. Marketed as a Bonneville 800, it was long awaited and became an instant success. Since then, the Hinckley factory has produced numerous updates of this modern classic. But this is the original "Hinckley bike" that brought the Bonneville back into the modern world.

But is it a good classic bike investment? We can't make up our minds. But certainly this bike is something of a landmark in Triumph motorcycle history. Meanwhile you'll have to do a little research of your own to find out the value of this parallel twin. Prices are changing constantly.
