![]() ![]() This is roughly £2,000 more than the bike is worth. Add cruise control – which, truthfully, is the only reason to choose the T120 over the more affordable Bonneville T100 – and you’re looking at a bill of £10,885. The Bonneville T120 starts at £10,600 in the United Kingdom. So the main message that I want to get across from my year of riding the Bonneville T120 in all weather conditions and scenarios is this: it’s fun, but it is woefully overpriced. And because the Bonneville T120 is largely a good motorcycle, I suspect that the bulk of the people reading are folks falling on the positive side of the equation, seeking a kind of “push” to finally go out and buy one. I suspect that a small majority of the people reading a long-term review of Triumph’s primo modern classic bike are those who have already formed an opinion and are simply looking to confirm their positive or negative suspicions. Compare the picture below with the one above this paragraph to see the difference.Do not buy a Triumph Bonneville T120 new. An additional flash, pointed directly at the reflectors, helped to boost the light even further. That’s why we set up two large reflectors made of Styrofoam, which reflected light onto the sides of the machine. Since light from above logically only illuminates the surfaces that are directed upwards, the sides of the bike remain dark. This helped focussing the light onto the bike and not illuminate the entire area. To control the light, we hung large black cardboard pieces from the sides of the flashes. Two long, narrow flash tubes were set up above the machine, pointing straight down. Since I use a white background in my own studio, this was something new for me. I chose black cardboard as background material, which was mounted on a normal background system. ![]() For the sake of simplicity, I’ll summarize what we ended up working with. In the course of the afternoon we worked out the lighting setup for this bike. ![]()
