Triumph Bonneville America

The Triumph Bonneville America is a British motorcycle designed and built in Hinckley, Leicestershire, by Triumph Motorcycles Ltd as a cruiser-styled variant of the Bonneville. Compared with the standard Bonneville it has a wheelbase extended by 6.4 inches to 65.2 inches, a lowered saddle, a steering head rake increased to 33.3 degrees, an 18 inch front wheel and a 15 inch rear wheel with a larger rear disc brake. The rider footrests sit forward of the engine to give a cruiser riding position, and a bigger fuel tank with a chromed console and extended side panels recall the look of the 1960 Triumph twins. In 2007 the engine capacity grew to 865 cc, and in 2008 the UK version gained electronic fuel injection hidden behind dummy carburettors, with the US version following in 2009.
