Hi RB
I too rode out on my 9 year oldtrusted Vespa 200PX and returned with an ordered blue/grey Bonneville 60. But now need to wait till June for delivery.
Love the bike, hope to cover many miles with her.

I just changed the oil for the first time at about 3300 miles. I used the recommended weight by the manufacturer… can’t remember offhand what it was… but I used a synthetic Mobil brand.

At what mileage did you do your first oil change? What weight of oil did you use?

GW, thanks for the note. I have had no problems at all with my Bonneville! I don’t think you will either. They are very low maintenance bikes. I just did my first oil change yesterday and it was very easy. I’ve adjusted my clutch and brakes which were also easy. Rides great! Enjoy yours!

Hi Birkey, fabulous looker…I will be in receipt of one shipped to me in the original Triumph crate in about two weeks…after having your bike now for alomost a year have you had any issues…or anything that might help me in terms of what to look out for.
Mine is actually a 2009 B. Black with efi….this model does not appear in any of the official website information but i have been told that a few have been made available as a 2009 model albeit with the efi.
Paid $10384.00 Canadian for her.
I think you made a nice choice….am hoping I have.Please let me have your comments.
