The Best Touring Bonneville Bobber? Thornton Hundred Shows You How

In a rather interesting video, Thornton Hundred Motorcycles showcases a touring setup on one of its bikes, a Triumph Bonneville Bobber, as it embarks on a 3,000-mile road trip. This is a departure from their usual projects, as they are known for creating the fastest Triumph Bonneville Bobber last year, using it for drag racing, and even taking it on a hill climb at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. After selling it for a hefty sum of about $50,000 USD, they have now focused on building a touring version of the Bobber.

The build includes various upgrades such as luggage, a rack, a tank upgrade, and an exhaust system that may seem unconventional for touring. The bike undergoes a complete teardown and clean install of wheels, straps, fork boots, and protection parts. Thornton Hundred opts for Kriega dry packs for their luggage needs, specifically the US-5, US-20, and US-40 models. Additionally, lights are added to enhance visibility during the road trip.

The standout feature of this build is the Rotobox carbon fiber wheels, a mod carried over from previous Thornton Hundred projects. After a long building session, the final result is visually impressive and functional, offering ample storage space, upgraded lighting, and a unique style. The lighter wheels also contribute to improved performance.

Thornton Hundred Motorcycles has yet to provide further updates on this build, but a more detailed review is expected in the future. Overall, this touring setup demonstrates the brand’s ability to create something distinctive and functional, suitable for everyday use.
