New additions to the Triumph Malaysia “Modern
Classic” stable are the 2019 Triumph Bonneville T120 Ace and Bonneville T120
Diamond Edition. Pricing for this pair of retro motorcycles with modern
amenities is RM 75,900 for the T120 Ace, while the T120 Diamond Edition goes for
RM 74,900, excluding road tax, insurance and registration
The BonnevileT120 Ace commemorates the legendary
gathering spot for UK bikers, the Ace Cafe in London, UK, while the Diamond
Edition celebrates the 60th Anniversary of the Bonneville engine, first shown
in public in 1959.
Production will be limited worldwide, the T120 Ace
coming in a limited production run of 1,400 units, with each purchaser
receiving a numbered certificate signed by Triumph chief executive officer Nick
Bloor and modern Ace Cafe founder Mark Wilsmore. Meanwhile, the Bonneville T120
Diamond Edition comes in a distinctive Snowdonia White and Aluminium Silver
Union Jack paint scheme on the tank, with production limited to 900 units.
Both the T120 Ace Cafe and T120 Diamond Edition
carry the 1,200 High Torque Bonneville parallel-twin, which Triumph says
produces 79 hp at 6,550 rpm and 105 Nm of torque at 3,100 rpm. The main
difference in engines between the T120 Ace and the T120 Diamond Edition is
colour of the engine, the Ace being based on the T120 Black with blacked out
components while the Diamond Edition gets a generous helping of chrome.
Brightwork on the T120 Diamond Edition also extends
to the four bar Triumph tank badges, engine covers and guard and the chain
guard. For the T120 Ace, a Matte Storm Grey paint scheme is used with a “Head
Down, Hold On” logo on the tank, with minimalist rear fender and black bench
seat.
