Beautiful and dim, the iconic 2023 Triumph Bonneville T120 Black Café Racer. Even more striking is the performance, which embodies Bunyol’s style. Classic Bonneville design DNA combined with excellent handling, performance, and technology make this British motorcycle legend a masterpiece of evolution.
Overall, it’s sicker and sadder. While retaining all the capabilities of the T120, the Bonneville Black adds subtle flair and a ton of attitude.
For the 2023 model year, the iconic 2023 Triumph Bonneville T120 Black Café Racer is offered in two color options: the original Triumph Jet Black and a chic new Sapphire Black and Matte Sapphire Black split scheme throughout the tank, carefully hand-painted silver. The headlamp bowl, side panels, and mudguards are all sapphire black in the new scheme.
