Triumph Bonneville

Triumph Motorcycles Limited

Known as the Hinckley, Leicestershire era, 1990–.

Model	Engine displacement [cm³]	Years	Notes
Daytona 750	748	1990–1992	Triple with short-stroke crank fitted (900 has the long-throw crank). Aimed at Super sports market but more of a sports-tourer. Only circa 240 made. These are now very collectable.
Daytona 1000	998	1990–1992	Sports bike using four-cylinder version of the short-stroke 750 Daytona/Trident engine
Trophy 900	885	1990–2002	From 1995 it received a completely new (and much larger) fairing, designed by John Mockett, standard fit panniers and a new exhaust system with low slung silencers to allow the panniers to fit.
Trophy 1200	1180	1990–2004	Initially 141 bhp sports tourer, using 4-cylinder long-stroke version of modular engine. From 1995 it received a completely new (and much larger) fairing, designed by John Mockett, standard fit panniers and a new exhaust system with low slung silencers to allow the panniers to fit. Engine retuned to 108 bhp with improved torque.
Trophy SE^[2]	1215	2013-2017	Full touring motorcycle, sharing its all-new (and shaft-driven) 1215 triple with the (Adventure styled) Tiger Explorer. Initially sold as a "basic" Trophy and an "SE" (the "basic" version was never available in the US), only the SE is currently listed.
Trident 750	748		Naked version of short-stroke triple-engined bike.
Trident 900	885		Naked version of long-stroke triple-engined bike.
Trident Sprint 900	885		Standard Trident, fitted with very effective twin headlamp half fairing.
Sprint 900	885		As above but, as model became well known in its own right, Triumph decided to drop the "Trident" part of the name. Facelifted in 1995 to include new (unique to the Sprint, at the time) side panels and tail light.
Sprint 900 Sport	885		Sprint with improved suspension, higher pegs and exhausts (all taken from the, then current, speed triple) and lower bars (taken from the early Trophy). Probably the best mix of all parts from the initial modular range of Hinckley Triumphs.
Sprint 900 Executive	885		Sprint with panniers, exhausts and footrest hangers taken from the post 1995 Triumph Trophy.
Daytona 900	885	1992–1997	A combination of the original 750 Daytona with the long stroke 900 engine and a slightly more acceptable riding position. Still too heavy and large to be a true sports bike, but a very charismatic and robust high speed, long distance, tourer.
Daytona Super 3	885	1994–1996	A standard 900 Daytona with a Cosworth modified engine producing claimed 115 bhp, fitted with a few carbon fibre extras. The Daytona on which it was based was never a true sports bike, being too heavy (especially top heavy) and unwieldy to compete with current sports bikes. The Super III was an attempt to shed weight and increase power, but combined with a very high price, only served to underline that this was a step too far for the original modular design. These have become collectible bikes.
Daytona 1200	1180	1992–1999	147 bhp 4 cyl Sports Tourer. Though discontinued in '96, it was relaunched as a "Special Edition" in '98. Only 250 individually numbered machines were produced (the number being shown on a specially engraved plaque on the headstock). It featured with 6 pot brakes (from the Super III), black paint with gold lettering and gold wheels. One of the special plaques was damaged in production and, when another one was ordered, it came as "number 251" in error.
Thunderbird 900	885	1995–2004	Triumph's first attempt to revive a classic-styled motorcycle based on its heritage, using the original modular platform. Bike sported 18" front tire and 16" rear, detuned the 885 motor to 70 hp with better lower-end torque.5-speed until engine number 71843, then all fitted with 6-speed.
Adventurer 900	885	1996–2000	Thunderbird with wider 19" front tyre, plus bob-tail rear fender similar to cruiser bike. Triumph's first attempt at a cruiser, using the modular platform. All from engine number 71843 are 6 speed.
Thunderbird Sport 900	885	1997–2000, 2003–2004	Thunderbird with wider 17" tyres, plus "arguably" uprated engine (the only real visual difference is with the exhaust system), however the suspension and brakes are improved with twin disc set up. All 6-speed and 82 bhp.
Daytona T595	955	1997–1999	The first true sports bike from the new Hinckley Triumph. Using an engine only very loosely based on the long stroke triple motor, it was much lighter, more powerful and used a unique alloy perimeter frame allowing the low centre of gravity and dedicated sports bike handling necessary to compete in this market. It also had an alloy single sided swing arm that was very similar to that offered by Ducati in their then current 916. The first production bikes featured a polished alloy frame, but these examples very quickly picked up a reputation for catastrophic weld failure on the top rail leading to the headstock. The frames were soon modified with a much larger weld on the top tube, though they were never supplied polished again, reverting to a silver/grey paint finish.
Daytona 955i	955	1999–2006	The T595 was renamed 955 as it was too often thought to be a 600 cc bike! It gradually evolved with a new bodywork and improved engine mapping. It lost the single sided swinging arm at one point, but then reverted to a single sided arm around a year later. Model eventually discontinued and never replaced as factory felt that the high level of investment necessary to stay competitive in the large sports bike market wasn't justified. Also "CE" (Centennial Edition) version 2002
Daytona 600	599	2002–2004
Daytona 650	646	2005–2006	Longer stroke version of Daytona 600
Daytona 675	675	2006-2016	All new bike with all new three cylinder engine

Bonneville 790	790/865	2001-2007 790 cc, 2007 on 865 cc	After 10 years of producing bikes around a modern engine, Triumph eventually succumbed to the need to build a true modern version of the classic Bonneville. Using a counterbalanced air and oil cooled parallel twin motor, it looked as close to the original '60's version of the unit construction Bonneville as it was possible to within current noise and emission regulations. In 2002 Triumph released a limited edition model to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's coronation. These collectable bikes were dubbed the "Golden Jubilee" and featured an exclusive paint scheme and badging.
Bonneville Bobber	1200	2017-	The Bonneville Bobber is a new Bonneville model introduced for the 2017 model year. It is a slightly modified version of the same 1200 cc engine introduced in the Bonneville T120 in 2016 which gives it a little less power but more torque.
Bonneville T100	790/865/900	2002 on	2002-2005 790 cc, 2006 on 865 cc, 2008 fuel injection replaced carbs, 2017 900 cc Liquid cooled, 8 valve, SOHC, 270° parallel twin
Bonneville T120	1200	2016-	Brought back for 2016 an all new 1200 cc Liquid cooled, 8 valve, SOHC, 270° parallel twin
Triumph Speed Twin 1200	1200	2019-	The Triumph Speed Twin 1200 is a standard motorcycle made by Triumph Motorcycles Ltd that is a modern successor of the original Triumph Speed Twin from 1938
Speed Triple 750	748		Budget Speed Triple using 750 Trident engine, only in production for a very short time. Using identical components to the 900 version, the only way to tell this model apart is the larger (18") diameter rear wheel, with 6 spokes rather than 3.
Speed Triple 900	885	1994–1997	Triumph's very successful attempt at a streetfighter motorcycle, similar to how owners were "stripping down" modern sport bikes. Essentially a Daytona 900 without a fairing and fitted with a single round headlamp and conventional paired instrument pod. Originally (and pointlessly) sold with just a 5 speed gearbox, but later versions had the same 6 ratios as the 900 Daytona. Wildly successful and included its own racing series. Still top heavy and not a true sports bike, but one of the most charismatic bikes of the decade. Nearly always sold in all black, with orange being rare and yellow extremely rare.
Speed Triple T509	885	1997–1999	Replacing the original 900 Speed Triple using, logically, the frame, motor (though originally in 885 cc, rather than 955 cc, guise) and much of the running gear from the new T595 sports bike. Again, there was no fairing, although this time it had twin headlamps in chrome pods to follow the "Street fighter" line, rather than the earlier "cafe racer" appearance. Much lighter and easier to handle than the earlier 900 Speed Triple it was equally successful, though the appearance of the new engine was probably better suited to being hidden behind a fairing.
Speed Triple 955i	955	1999–2005
Speed Triple 1050	1050	2005-2020
Speed Triple 1200	1160	2021 on	All-new design inspired by Moto2 and Street Triple 765

Tiger 900	885	1993–1998	Dual sport with desert racer styling
Tiger 900i	885	1999–2001	Revamped model with fuel-injected motor based on T509 Speed Triple
Tiger 955i	955	2001–2006	Increased displacement to 955cc, gradual changes made until end of production in 2006
Tiger 1050	1050	2007 on
Tiger 800	800	2011 on	All-new smaller Tiger with an engine based in part on the existing 675cc motor used in the Daytona 675 and Street Triple; was available in several road- and off-road-orientated versions
