2002 Triumph Bonneville America

2002 Cardinal Red Triumph Bonneville America  2002 Jet Black Triumph Bonneville America

Bold, stylish and unmistakably Triumph, the Bonneville America is every inch the classic cruiser in the stateside mould - low-slung, laid-back and built to turn dreams of riding the open highway or cruising city streets in style into reality.

Taking its look from a blend of typically Triumph touches and the quintessential form of the classic cruiser, the Bonneville America is Triumph's most vibrant design statement yet. Designed specifically for riders seeking an alternative to American hardware or Japanese equivalents, this evocative creation cleverly marries chopper and lowrider styling elements to form a true original.

At the heart of the machine lies the 790cc DOHC eight-valve engine with a 270 degree firing angle, instead of the usual 360 degree firing angle crankshaft. This bottom-end configuration gives the engine an uneven firing-order and produces the Bonneville America's distinctive and unmistakable off-beat exhaust note - relaxed, potent and captivating. The deep exhaust tone exits through chromed slash-cut mufflers.

The five gears are selected through a forward-mounted footshift - the chromed footpegs and forward controls form a key part of the relaxed riding position. Along with a super-low 28 inch seat height and raked back handlebars mounted on a slab-style top yoke, the Bonneville America offers all the traditional custom-cruiser details in an ergonomically developed package that's as effective as it is authentic.

Dominating the slab top yoke is a chrome-bezelled, white-faced speedo, dramatically angled back into the rider's eye view and sited directly above the large chromed single headlight unit. The rest of the instruments are mounted in a deep-chromed console above the substantial 16.6-litre fuel tank that gives a 150-mile range entirely appropriate to a serious long-haul cruiser. The tank badges are heavy-chromed 'old' Triumph style whilst the pillion footrest hangers mimic a toolbox in a neat touch borrowed from Triumph's pre-war machines.

Brushed-finish heavy-duty wide-style forks complete a stylish and imposing front end with an 18-inch front wheel while at the rear chromed twin shock absorbers keep the 15-inch wheel, fitted with a 170 section rear tyre, glued to the road. Disc brakes front and rear with two-piston calipers take care of stopping.

A vast range of dedicated accessories reflects the enduring popularity of machine personalisation. Everything from custom-fitted leather saddlebags to sissy bars and special chassis trim is available from a comprehensive Triumph catalogue. In Jet Black and Silver with deeply-valenced Jet Black mudguards or Cardinal Red and Silver with red mudguards, the Bonneville America borrows on Triumph's rich Stateside heritage and draws on key elements of US bike culture to bring out the best in this definitive factory cruiser for the world market.

2003 Triumph Bonneville America

2003 Caspian Blue Triumph Bonneville America

A true original that has taken the cruiser class by storm, the America has been one of Triumph's most successful models launched so far. Sales have far outstripped expectations and demand for this evocative machine shows no sign of slowing down.

The enduring appeal of the America lies in a European heritage married to stateside styling elements to create a modern, yet resonantly classic alternative to American or Japanese machinery. The fact that the America is in such demand in the cruiser heartland of the USA speaks volumes for its integrity as a design and the enduring appeal of the Triumph name. Built to turn heads in city streets and cope with the demands of long distance open road cruising, this low-slung masterpiece of styling is engineered to perform. Built around the 790cc DOHC eight-valve Bonneville engine, the America's seductive off-beat exhaust note comes from the 270 degree firing angle of the twin cylinder unit, instead of the more usual 360 degree set-up. The America is big on character and easy to live with.

Driving through a five-speed gearbox the relaxed engine beat from the chromed slash-cut mufflers provides a potent soundtrack for the longest trip. And the America does distance to perfection. With forward-mounted chromed footpegs matched to a low 28inch seat height and raked back handlebars on a slab-style top yoke, the laid-back riding position offers day-long comfort and control in a finely developed ergonomic package.

There's no shortage of shine to set-off the traditional cruiser-style lighting and instrumentation. Centrally-mounted above the long-distance 16.6 litre fuel tank is a deep-chromed instrument console matching the old-style chromed Triumph tank badges. Raked back from the top slab-yoke is a chrome-bezelled, white-faced speedo above the chromed shell of the single headlight. Even the pillion footrest hangers are styled to resemble the trademark toolbox from pre-war Triumphs. Two-tone, hand-coachlined paint schemes complete the picture with a third option - vivid Caspian Blue with Silver infill - added for 2003.

Running on an 18-inch front wheel, mounted in brushed-finish heavy-duty wide-style forks and a 15-inch rear wheel wearing a fat 170 section rear tyre, the America is built to take on whatever the open road can throw at it. With disc brakes and two-piston calipers front and rear stopping is more than taken care of.

And with an ever-growing range of dedicated Triumph accessories ready to custom fit, the America can be as personal a statement as anyone chooses to make about their style of motorcycling. From luggage to extra chrome embellishments, from brake upgrades to clutch covers, there are even entire custom-painted bodywork kits to bring out the individual in each and every owner.

2004 Triumph America

2004 Caspian Blue Triumph America2004 Jet Black Triumph America2004 Goodwood Green Triumph America

Wide bars, forward-set pegs and lazy, twin cylinder power – the America cruises the streets mixing classic British engineering with style from the highways of the USA. And, along the way, has proven one of the most popular bikes Triumph has ever made, especially in the States, where it has become a true alternative to Japanese or American cruisers. That's no mean feat when you consider the whole cruising culture was born and developed in the USA. Based around the Bonneville the America starts with a fantastic package to build on. The basic architecture of the America's 790cc DOHC eight-valve twin-cylinder engine is as the Bonnie's but it uses a 270° crankshaft firing interval, rather than a 360°, giving a staggered firing order and a mellow power delivery that's big on relaxed drive and character.

Driving a fat, 170/80-section rear tyre (spun onto a spoked 15-inch rim) through a five-speed gearbox the effortless engine fires its heartbeat out through a pair of deeply chromed slash-cut mufflers. Heavy duty, wide-set telescopic forks add substance and a solid look to the America's raked front end, as does the 18in front wheel, shod with its 110/80 tyre. Disc brakes matched to twin-piston calipers take care of stopping duties. The America's built to do the miles and its relaxed riding position, with forward set 'highway' pegs, wide, raked-back handlebars and low 28-inch seat height, aids rider comfort and control - perfect for those long days in the saddle.

But this bike's also built to be admired and from its slab-style top yoke to its chromed twin spring shocks the America is the very essence of cruiser chic. Centrally mounted above the teardrop-shaped 16.6 litres fuel tank (4.4 gal US) is a deep-chromed instrument console, matching the old-style Triumph tank badges. A white-faced chrome-bezelled speedo sits rakishly above the single headlight and with a nod to the past the pillion footrest hangers echo the lines of the trademark toolboxes of pre-war Triumphs. Two-tone paintwork with hand-painted coach lines tops the America, with a choice of Goodwood Green with Silver infill or Caspian Blue with Silver infill. And for the minimalists, there's a single tone Jet Black option.

Cruising is all about the essence of freedom and individuality and the America provides both. It's also ready to further personalise whether by the simple addition of luggage or chrome extras or with more functional items such as brake upgrades. There are also entire custom-painted body kits to mark the bike's – and owner's – personal identity. To some, the America is perfect as it rolls out of the factory, to others it's just the starting point.

2005 Triumph America

2005 Jet Black Triumph America2005 Goodwood Green Triumph America2005 Mulberry Red Triumph America

The need to ride lies deep within the human soul. The open road beckons, waiting to be ridden and the America is the passport to freedom. With its wide bars, forward-set 'highway' pegs and relaxed, twin cylinder power the America cruises the streets, mixing classic British engineering with style from the highways of the USA. And it's a blend that works superbly. The America has proven a very popular bike, especially in the States, the spiritual home and birthplace of the cruiser-style motorcycle.

Based as it is around the polished Bonneville the America builds on a fantastic package. The basic architecture of the America's 790cc air-cooled DOHC eight-valve twin-cylinder engine is as the Bonnie but a 270° firing interval – rather than 360° – gives a loping exhaust note and a mellow power delivery that's big on easy-going drive and heavy with character. Spinning a fat, 170/80-section rear tyre (crowning a meatily-spoked 15-inch rim) through a five-speed gearbox the engine fires its heartbeat out through a pair of deep-chrome slash-cut mufflers. Heavy duty, wide-set telescopic forks add substance and a solid look to the America's raked front end, as does the 18in front wheel, shod with its 110/80 tyre. Disc brakes matched to twin-piston calipers take care of the stopping duties.

Two-tone paintwork, with hand-applied coach lines tops the America with a choice of Goodwood Green with Silver infill and, new for 2005, Mulberry Red with Graphite infill. For those prefering simplicity, a stylish single-tone Jet Black option is also available. Cruising is all about the essence of freedom and individuality and the America provides both. It's also ready to further personalise, with the simple addition of luggage and extra chrome work. There are also entire custom-painted body kits to mark out a personal identity.

2006 Triumph America

2006 Mulberry Red Triumph America2006 Jet Black Triumph America2006 Graphite Triumph America

With its wide bars, forward-set pegs and relaxed, parallel twin power the America mixes classic British engineering with style from the highways of the USA. Based around the iconic Bonneville the America builds on a fantastic package. The basic architecture of the America's 790cc, twin-cylinder engine is as the Bonnie but a 270° firing interval - rather than 360° - gives a loping exhaust note and mellow power delivery that's big on easy-going drive and heavy with character.

Disc brakes matched to twin-piston calipers take care of the stopping duties.

The America's a great place to embark upon a motorcycling career, but as a true cruising motorcycle it's also built to cover ground. Its relaxed riding position, with forward set 'highway' pegs, wide raked-back handlebars and low 28-inch seat height aids rider comfort and control, also makes the America extremely manageable in all situations - especially for riders with limited experience. Even those with many miles under their belts, however will be impressed with the chassis' surefooted ability and confidence-inspiring handling.

The America's also been made to be admired and from its slab-style top yoke to chromed shock absorbers it's the very essence of cruiser chic - but with something a little different; a sense of style and heritage very much its own. This bike simply isn't like the clone-like mass of everyday cruisers. Centrally mounted above the teardrop-shaped 16.6 litre fuel tank is a deep-chromed instrument console matching classic-style Triumph tank badges. A white-faced, chrome-bezelled speedo sits rakishly above the single headlight and with a nod to the past the pillion footrest hangers echo the lines of the trademark toolboxes of pre-war Triumphs.

It's also ready to further personalise, from the simple addition of luggage and screens to extra chrome work. There are also entire custom-painted body kits to mark out a personal identity. The need to explore lies deep within the human soul, as more and more people are recognising today. The open road beckons, waiting to be ridden and the America is a relaxed and enjoyable passport to two-wheeled freedom.

2007 Sunset Red Triumph America  2007 Pacific Blue Triumph America

The America is just made for the open road. It feels planted and rides easy. For 2007 the jet-black, parallel twin motor has been cranked up to 865cc to give the bike more torque. And more torque means fewer gear changes - just what is needed for relaxed cruising. The riding position puts the rider at the centre of the universe with a low, sofa of a seat that lets feet be planted firmly on the ground when coming to a stop. The pillion gets a exceptionally comfortable riding experience too with a roomy seat.

Spinning a beefy, 170/80-section rear tyre (crowning a new-for-2007 cast 15 inch rim) through a five-speed gearbox the engine fires its heartbeat out through a pair of deep-chrome reverse cone silencers. Heavy duty, wide set telescopic forks add substance and a solid look to the America's raked front end, as does the new 18in cast front wheel, shod with its 110/90 tyre. Disc brakes front and rear matched to twin-piston calipers take care of the stopping duties.

2008 Triumph America

2008 Phantom Black Triumph America  2008 Pacific Blue Triumph America

The Triumph America mixes classic British engineering with style straight from the US highways, with wide bars, forward set pegs and relaxed, parallel twin power. Freedom and individuality define the essence of cruising and the America encapsulates both. The simple addition of genuine Triumph accessories designed specifically for the America, such as luggage options or chrome parts, allows you to mark out your personal identity. As the open road beckons, the America is just waiting to be ridden providing an enjoyable passport to two-wheeled freedom.

The America's 865cc, air-cooled, DOHC, twin cylinder engine shares its basic architecture with the Bonnie, but the 270º firing angle provides a loping exhaust note and smooth power delivery that's big on easy-going drive and full of character.

For 2008 the America is updated with a new fuel injection system to meet forthcoming Euro 3 legislation. Cleaner running than a carburettor engine, the fuel injected engine is also easier to fire up from a cold start and runs more smoothly when cold. The cool retro styling remains uncompromised though, as the fuel injectors are cleverly concealed by throttle bodies designed to look like carburettors.

Both new and experienced riders will appreciate the sure-footed ability of the chassis and the confidence-inspiring handling. The riding position is relaxed for both rider and pillion and offers a supremely comfortable ride, thanks to the large, low 28 inch seat, forward set pegs and raked handlebars. The America's new seamless, teardrop-shaped tank holds more fuel as well as looking great with its chromed badges and hand painted coach lines.

The cast, aluminium alloy 15 inch rear rim is crowned with a fat, 170/80-section rear tyre while the front, an 18 inch cast wheel, wears a 110/90 tyre. Durable, wide-set telescopic forks add substance and a solid look to the America's raked front end, while twin-piston calipers and front and rear disc brakes take care of stopping duties.

It's got the low seat. It's got the classic chromed up cruiser style. It's got the sound, but the Triumph America offers a unique alternative among the sea of wannabe clones. Traditional British parallel-twin. Lightest in class. Great to ride. Grabs attention wherever it goes.

Classic cruiser styling and laid-back power delivery, the America delivers an authentic cruising experience. Sit back in the low seat, grab the pulled back handlebars and thumb that starter button. The traditional British 865cc air cooled parallel twin bursts into life with a satisfying burble thanks to its 270 degree firing order. For the classic cruiser look, the America comes with shrouded front forks with polished lowers, chromed single headlamp and chromed engine covers, machined cast wheels, chromed detailing and twin reverse cone pipes.

Heaviliy updated for 2011, the 865cc Triumph America offers an even more accessible entry point into Triumph's cruiser range, delivering an authentic cruising experience but with a distinctive Triumph twist.

The America's completely new styling has taken on a more classic theme for 2011, with the 16" front and 15" rear cast alloy wheels sporting high walled tyres to complement the deeply valenced front mudguard, pulled back handlebars and feet forward controls for a traditional low and laid back cruiser look. For 2011 the rider has also been placed even closer to the controls, creating greater harmony between rider and machine and making the 2011 Triumph America even easier to ride. Low means a 690mm seat height and an easy to manage 250kg wet weight, fully fuelled and ready to ride.

Triumph's engineers have deliberately designed the 2011 America to appeal to a wide range of riders. In addition to the low seat and light weight, neat touches such as the easily accessible sidestand and friendly ergonomics mean that it's no wonder the America appeals to a wide variety of riders looking for a cool looking yet fun and easy to ride motorcycle. Metallic Phantom Black or two-tone Eclipse Blue with Crystal White paint schemes give the America a timeless appeal and understated style. Liberal lashings of high quality chrome further enhance the Americafs appeal and help deliver a beautifully balanced design.

And the twist? Triumph's classic parallel-twin power plant provides a unique proposition in a sea of V-twins. This quintessentially British configuration sets the America apart from the competition and delivers a unique look and riding experience. With a 270-degree firing order, the America delivers a healthy 61PS with a mellow soundtrack and connected feeling. And the air-cooled engine is totally modern too, with fuel injection for clean running and low maintenance.

A full range of genuine Triumph accessories are available for the America and include items such as quick release screens and sissy bars, panniers, a low seat option and a number of leather and chrome items for riders who want to cosmetically tune their cruiser.

2012 Triumph America

2012 Caribbean Blue/Crystal White Triumph America  2012 Metallic Phantom Black Triumph America

The cruiser for those who go their own way.

It's got the low seat. It's got the classic chromed up cruiser style. It's got the sound, but the Triumph America offers a unique alternative among the sea of wannabe clones. Traditional British parallel-twin. Lightest in class. Great to ride. Grabs attention wherever it goes. America's distinctive 865cc parallel-twin offers a laid back riding experience to match the classic minimalist cruiser look.

The 2011 America's new ergonomics puts the rider lower and closer to the controls, for a fuss free riding experience. At 250kg ready to go and a low 690mm seat height, the 2011 America is one of the lightest bikes and easiest bikes to ride in its class. The chassis for the new America has also been updated with new wheels and tyres for improved handling and aesthetics.
