I just crawled off one of these.. The Bike has tons of torque, and sounds like my old Triumph Spitfire. I think that anyone looking for a Bike should skip the Rebels and stuff like that and go straight to this. Only downside I found was the front wheel feels kinda heavy on takeoff from a red light, making a turn.... it could use a steering damper.....I was surprised at how well the brakes worked only having a single disc, front and back.....the turns in the city are kinda heavy feeling but then I am new on this bike. I go a lot faster on my 2 stroker....but I suspect a nice ride on the highway....
Find myself very drawn to these bikes, love the aesthetic and seems to be a great motor. Another reviewer said how he felt the T100 was more responsive than the bikes with newer 900, which is interesting. Gearing seems to be a bit different as well. Thanks for doing these, though note your vids are a little tough to watch with all of the advertising interruptions. Really breaks up the continuity of message. Keep the rubber side down!
im so excited driving this motorbike, remember when i got my driving licensed my dad sells his ducati monster, im so saturated and a few months later this motorbike came and made me fall in love with Bonneville T100 🔥
I haven't seen your video, yet, but ergonomics is the bike fits you like a glove. Like the guys from WWII who jumped in a plane and flew off to fight, and they would say when you strap in and fly it, its like wearing the Airplane. Most of the better fighters were described that way. But some were probably painful to fly in. I guess the same could be said for Motorcycles. So, yesterday I went to our local dealer to look at the Royal Enfield line. They look a lot like a Triumph, but that's all. They're much cheaper, the reason I was looking at them, are lacking in the brakes and really need som more upgrades to come close to anything. For me the problem was that my feet didn't touch the ground on the Enfield Twins. So while I was there I sat on a Honda Fury, which I love the looks of, a Honda Shadow, which fits fine, but both of the Hondas have extended controls and I have a hard time reaching them. Then I walked over to the Triumphs. I've loved Triumphs ever since I first saw one, way back in the late 60's. There were tons of British bikes that had a lot of the same attributes, but the only one I liked more that the Triumph was the Norton, and man that thing was awesome! But when I sat on the T100 I found that it was quite comfortable. I'm taking lesson in a couple months so that I can get my endorsement, than it's time to ride everything I can get my hands on this this bike is at the top of my list!
How anybody could tell anything about a bike from a test run like this is beyond me. Test runs were you have to follow the leader. Not getting up to more than 30, 40, 50 mph in city traffic, with traffic light after traffic light. You talk about speed and torque, how do you know, I didn't see any show of it. You might as well go out on a 125 scooter cause this type of test tells you nothing about the Bonneville. 🤔🛵
While I know that you guys are trying to sell bikes, this guy seems like he is trying to sell me a bike(not an ideal point of view). A&S is my local triumph dealer so id end up there if I chose the triumph route (more than likely). Unfortunately, this video seems disingenuine and only focuses on the positives and simply tries to sell a bike(glosses over negatives). looking at this bike I know I'm not a whale of a customer but this insulting and not a bike review, but more of a bike test ride (with a salesman). A&S this will only make me a lot more apprehensive when I do make it in to buy my next bike(if I don't go Harley first). Don't take his as an attack but more as a customer perspective. the rider seems like a salesman and not someone looking out for someone trying to buy a T100 or even a t120 or Thruxton.
