Triumph Bonneville T120 Diamond Edition Coming to Malaysia

  • Only 4 units are available from mid-June in Malaysia.

The Triumph Bonneville T120 Diamond Edition will soon arrive in Malaysia.

The model commemorates the 60th anniversary of the legendary 1959 Bonneville T120. It replaced the equally legendary TR6 which won many races including the Baja rally and was the bike used in “The Great Escape.”

At the time, the Bonneville T120 was one of the fastest production motorcycles on the planet. It already hit 115 mph (185 km/h) in stock form while slight modifications would see 120 mph (193 km/h) or more. That was how its “T120” name was derived.

As such, the current Bonnie T120 Diamond Edition carries many important features, such as:

  • Premium one-off Snowdonia White and Aluminium Silver “Union Flag” paint scheme on the fuel tank.
  • Unique Bonneville T120 “Diamond” side panel branding.
  • Chrome 4-bar Triumph badges on the fuel tank.
  • Chrome engine covers and badges.
  • Chrome chain guard.

It’s not just a matter of a pretty paint scheme and chrome, however. Only 900 will ever be built. Each bike will be accompanied by a numbered certificate, signed by Triumph CEO, Nick Bloor himself.

Only four are available in Malaysia from mid-June 2019. Please follow Triumph Motorcycles Malaysia for more updates.

Wahid's lust for motorcycles was spurred on by his late-Dad's love for his Lambretta on which he courted, married his mother, and took baby Wahid riding on it. He has since worked in the motorcycle and automotive industry for many years, before taking up riding courses and testing many, many motorcycles since becoming a motojournalist. Wahid likes to see things differently. What can you say about a guy who sees a road safety message in AC/DC's "Highway to Hell."
