Here’s an excert from Triumph’s News page regarding the 2009 Bonnies…
“Triumph’s Bonneville range has also been given a serious makeover. The iconic model celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2009, and Triumph is marking the occasion with a limited edition model. Just 650 Bonneville T100 50th Anniversary models will be produced in a unique orange and blue colour scheme that echoes the 1959 original. Based on the standard T100, the Anniversary model features a host of detail changes and comes with a numbered handlebar-mounted plaque and a certificate of authenticity signed by John Bloor, the owner of Triumph Motorcycles Ltd.
Meanwhile, the standard Bonneville gets Seventies-look cast wheels and revised ergonomics. With its lower seat height, the 2009 Bonneville is more manoeuvrable than ever before. Also on sale is a higher specification Bonneville SE, which takes the standard Bonneville and adds a two-tone colour scheme, brushed alloy engine casings and additional instrumentation. The Sixties-influenced Bonneville T100 remains in the line-up for 2009, with minor detail changes and a new blue and white colour option.”
