[visordown.com] - Triumph Bonneville Bobber spied

[Ninjette Newsbot]

HERE’S a surprise new bobber edition of Triumph’s Bonneville, spotted being tested near the firm’s Spanish development facility.

It uses a new liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine believed to be around 1100cc, offering significantly greater performance than the current Bonnie’s 865cc air-cooled twin.

The bobber is thought to one of a whole new range of models which Triumph is developing around the new liquid-cooled engine, including a replacement for all the existing Bonneville range, which includes the wire-spoke-wheeled T100, café race-styled Thruxton, Scrambler and base edition.

The new engine’s twin cylinders retain fins for a classic look but the bike’s large radiator show it’s actually water that’s doing the cooling.
