TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE T120 is an icon in the truest sense of the word

Say the word Bonneville and Triumph in succession and the first image that pops into any petrolhead’s mind is the icon Steve McQueen astride on his Bonnie in The Great Escape. Say the same to any old timer and he will tell you about the stories on the record breaking Triumph that was christened the Bonneville, the name sake of the Bonneville Salt Flats. The legacy of the name is long and illustrious, so much so that even after almost sixty years, the name is an aspiration of many and I am one of them and proud of it. So after constant bickering and fighting at the office for days, I was on the flight to Portugal to ride the new Triumph Bonneville T120 Black, an icon I have always admired and would love to own one day.
