Triumph Bonneville Gold Line editions debut ahead of 2022 launch: Check out the limited-run Bonnies- Technology News, Firstpost

Having introduced the limited-edition Street Twin Gold Line earlier this year – all units of which have since been sold – Triumph Motorcycles has now rolled out similar Gold Line editions of other motorcycles from its Modern Classics range, including the Bonneville T100 and T120, Street Scrambler, Speedmaster, Bonneville Bobber and the Scrambler 1200 XE and XC.

Triumph says these special editions will feature a hand-applied gold line, using a soft-bristled sword-liner brush. The company says the paints used for the gold lining are specially formulated by mixing a powered colour with a cellulose lacquer for exactly the right consistency, as normal automotive paint is too thin for brush work. The artist adds the finishing detail to each Gold Line Edition by signing their work with their initials.

Based on the updated versions of these motorcycles launched this year, all of these editions – save for the Scrambler 1200 twins – will be launched in India early in 2022, and will be priced at a premium over the regular models. These won’t be limited by number, but will only be available for a period of one year. Let’s take a closer look at each of these Gold Line editions.

Triumph Bonneville T100 Gold Line Edition

Specific to the Triumph Bonneville T100 Gold Line Edition are a ‘Silver Ice’ fuel tank, mudguards and side panels, with a ‘Competition Green’ tank infill, hand-painted gold lining and a ‘gold line’ logo. There’s a new white and gold Bonneville T100 logo and a Silver Ice flyscreen is available as an accessory.
