Internationally, these Black edition motorcycles are surprisingly priced identical to the standard motorcycles on which they are based. We expect Triumph to follow the same pricing strategy here in India as well. Thus, the Bonneville T100 Black could be priced at Rs 8.87 lakh while the Bonneville T120 Black is expected to be priced at Rs 9.97 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom, pan India). We will not have to wait long to find out anyway.
