Triumph Bonneville Insurance

Design: 

• Bonneville is probably one of the best looking retro bikes out there in India.
• Triumph has even added fake carburettor bodies that hide the FI pipes.
• As with all Triumph bikes, fit & finish levels are extremely high.
• The bike comes in three color scheme, Lunar Silver, Phantom Black & Sapphire Blue/Crystal While.
• Bike’s dimensions are 2115 mm x 790 mm x 1130 mm (L x W x H)

Power & Performance:

Bonneville is powered by 865cc parallel twin engine. The power delivery is brisk on Bonneville with crisp response from the word go. For a 800cc+ engine it is an easy bike to live with. There is plenty of power from lower down & mid-range where this bike really excels. Vibrations only kick in when doing high revs in each gear.

Braking & Handling:

Bonneville handles well for a bike of this size. But don’t expect it to carve corners anytime soon! Straight highways, long sweeping corners are handled pretty well. Aided by a good suspension setup the Bonneville handles our roads rather well. Bike has 41mm telescopic forks in the front & twin shock absorbers at the rear. It rides on 110/70 17’ front & 130/80 17’ rear wheels.

• The seat on Bonneville is really big & comfortable. However, rides of anything more than a couple of hours is going to make your butt sore.
• Bonneville gets a 310mm disc brake in front & a single 255mm disc at the rear.
• As the bike is all about retro styling it sadly misses out on ABS & Traction Constrol system.

What Insurance cover to opt for:

Bonneville might be the cheapest option from Triumph but its maintenance is costly. Being a CKD the parts are all imported from Britain & that makes it a costly bike to keep.

• 0% depreciation insurance goes a long way in keeping the repair bills down in case of a fall.
• Bonneville is an attention magnet as it looks absolutely stunning. That is why it is a good idea to have an insurance that gives you complete cover from theft.
• Always prefer an insurance that gives you cashless benefit.
