Living with the 2017 Triumph Bonneville T120 - In Depth Review 

I've had my T120 a few years now. I've done some 3 day rides I'm 5'11 and 41 years old. I absolutely love this bike.

8:24 "It's no problem hauling the weight" My wife would have boxed my ears if I had said that about her on the pillion!!

Just bought one in black! T120 looking forward to it

With regards to the noisy front brake, I have found that if you change the pads from sintered to organic the noise disappears. I find that the sintered pads are too harsh on the disc. Better to replace the organic pads more frequently than have to replace the discs. Great review, I know it’s 2 years old and the first time I’ve seen it. I thank you. ✌️

Purchased my 1st Triumph last week, the T120 Diamond edition! What a wonderful motorcycle! Only drawback is that my garage has room for only 2 motorcycles so traded in the GS which was hard to do but the size of the T120 is a better fit for me. I also liked the fact that only 900 of the Diamond edition were made which makes it a somewhat unique model.

I've got a 2016 T120 Black. Recently took it to Flanders in Belgium from the UK which was a 280 mile round trip. Luggage-wise I purchased the SW Motech LR2 Tailbag and this had room enough for all my clothes and camping gear. I'm 6' 2" myself so fitted the Motone Bar Risers just to bring the bars a few inches up and back to make it comfier. After these two mods the ride to Belgium was flawless and I didn't have any comfort issues. Love this bike.

You and I are so much alike! Yes it was a joy listening to your views as I sit here in Sweden with an opportunity to buy this model. I do have a gravel driveway, yet also plenty of twisty country roads! I’m not young anymore and was worried about the comfort level, yet I guess a test drive is in order. Big thx for the degree of detail and no it wasn’t waisted on me. If you ever want to visit Sweden you are welcome to stay here.

What a stunner, A modern bike with all of the Bonneville's charm and character and none of the old 60's bikes drawbacks.

Took a T120 Black out for a demo ride at the weekend. Loved it! Great fun, so smooth with loads of low down torque. Back to the dealer tomorrow to talk figures. Thank-you for your long term review.! :)

So good when you say 'god I love motorcycles' made me smile. I say that every time I'm on my bike. Just like to say thanks for your reviews, I just bought a T100 partly down to your long term review. Thanks

Man, that bike in that color.... mmm mmm good! Great review, that's just a looker!!

I owned a 1962 &1964 Bonneville and a 1967 TT Special factory racer. This bike is so similar in appearance it is great I loved the looks of the older bikes mine were all 650 CC engine bikes 40 cubic inches. This video makes me want a new Bonneville but I'm crippled up and to old but still love the Triumphs. Ride safe everyone. 😊😊😊😊😊

Buying a 2017 t120 this week and found this video. Thanks for answering questions I didn't know I had and going in depth. Cheers!

This is one of the best review videos of anything I have ever seen, ever. Very well done, sir, and thank you so much for doing it.

I just bought one today with 110 miles on the clock🎉 loved the way it rides straight away...loads of torque 😅

I keep a right angle tyre valve extension in my pocket all the time - really essential and solves the issue of forecourt pumps etc you don't really want a great valve thing on your tyre all the time for obvious balance reasons

I love Triumphs . All their bikes are well made and beautiful .

Greetings from Florida. Picked up a T120 about 2 months ago - what a fantastic bike. To me just the right combination of power and rideability. (Still might have to add a Speed Twin to the stable though!) I really enjoy your videos - keep up the good work!

Very informative review! I purchased a new 2017 T120 four weeks ago. I bought the T 120 black/graphite. Love the bike so far. This is my second motorcycle after having sold my first in 1974! Still as much fun as I remember. I just completed the rider's safety program, which really helped gain some confidence and riding skills! Love all of your videos!!

I have a 2017 Bonny. After riding Harley's and Victory's for a decade, I settled down to the Triumph. It's so smooth and easy to ride you forget you're on a full-size motorcycle. Really pleased with it and going to add a new Speedmaster to my garage in the near future.

Snowy afternoon in Toronto, so a great time to catch up on your videos. I have a 2003 Triumph Bonneville and I am looking at getting one of the new Bonneville's, so enjoyed the two videos on T100 and T120. Thanks for your help in my decision making, cheers.

I'm 6'2" and have no issues on long rides. Usually on bikes like these or similar, even on some sport bikes, I look to mount a forward foot rest like I did on my T100. On this bike, no. I agree it is a joy to stand on the pegs, so maybe that's it. Also, moving he bike and getting it on the centerstand is nota prblem and actually is one of the best bikes I have owned in this regard. I think it is a matter of what you have owned in the past, and what you are used to. Most of my riding was on a Kawasaki Concours, and THAT is a real bear to move around in the parking lot, especially with a full tank of gas (petrol). Otherwise, this review is spot on. Good on yer, mate.

I've seen hundreds of Reviews on the t120 now, but this one is by far the best! The only One talking about drivin in town and how it parks, great! If I only have found this one first, it would have saved me hours. Really informative, everything you need to know! Love it!

Great review.. Love my Bonneville. On my 2022 T120, I believe the throttle issue has been fixed. I have no brake squeal with hard stops - so maybe that has been addressed as well. I do notice that over 4K RPM, there is quite a bit more vibration. I am not sure if this is normal for a big twin or not. did you notice that ? I’ve asked the question to their service department about it, so I’ll see how they respond when I get the bike back from the 500 mile service. My bike did not come with heated grips - I don’t think it is a standard feature on US models (at least in California ). Also there is no daytime running light switch (again maybe a US thing). the bike has a low beam headlight which is on all the time and a high beam switch. The low beam is completely inadequate as a running light, so I run with the high beams on during the day.

Really good review- I do love the Bonneville T120 but just bought a new Scrambler 1200 XE last week. The off road capability was critical living in Montana. I take delivery of the new Scrambler in about 3 weeks. Thanks

I love the look of theses bikes I just wish they weren't so expensive..

Thanks for the review. Two months into ownership of mine now and I agree with almost all you said. I also have the jerky throttle in 1st and 2nd but it was made a bit softer by adjusting the chain to the correct tolerance and the dealer also noticed some free play in the clutch which they adjusted. The dealer informs that the jerkiness is as a result of having to finely tune the bikes to pass emissions but that as the mileage increases that abruptness becomes less noticeable. On the maintenance its also a bit of a chore to adjust the chain tension as to do it properly both exhausts have to come off. You can't get at the rear wheel tightening nut with a torque wrench to re tighten it if the exhaust is in place and it also makes moving the adjusters very difficult.

Thanks as always. Went back to this as I am thinking about a third ride and the idea of a Bonny is becoming more appealing.

I’ve probably watched this video a dozen times as well as the ones from Stuart Fillingham and Dick Whistle and I must tell you that as a result I have just purchased a 2020 T120. In the States we don’t have the issue with the daytime running light/dip light because we don’t get the daytime running light. It’s either low beam or high beam. It’s not my primary ride but for short trips I do enjoy it more than my Goldwing. Thanks for your honest reviews, much appreciated.

Thanks for the review....Nice garage by the way...Last Triumph I had was a 77 Bonnie here in the USA....love the sound of that bike even more so when the mufflers were worn out...

At 6:55, who can possibly argue that this is not one awesome looking machine. What better compliment is there, with Triumph reintroducing the iconic looks of the Bonneville, for us to relive again today, what we experienced way back then, but with the added bonus of improved safety features, together with modern day electronics...

Nice day - free day watching this again prompted me to take my T120 out. Got a recall from Triumph during the week "Replacement of headstock tidy to prevent malfunction of the turn signal indicators. headlamp and / or engine stall". Applies to T120, T100, street scrambler, street twin and street cup. Explanation - "the clutch cable may contact the main harness sheath and cause damage to wiring within the main harness. If this condition occurs and remains undetected, it may lead to a loss of electrical power to various electrical circuits which could lead to malfunction of the above lights and loss of engine power without warning - increasing the risk of a crash. Due for service next month anyway so I will leave it until then.

My only complaint so far is the wire spoke wheels (i.e. requires tubes). The tires are designed as tubeless and the rims have the tubeless tire retention rim. Between the thick tubeless tire walls and the rim's retention rim, it is damn near impossible to break the bead with normal hand tools out on tour. I purchased the Outex kit to seal the spokes, and after 1000 miles, so far so good. Real tubeless, and ability to fix flats with a plug and a 12 volt mini air pump. Touring is great. Around town is great. Love the bike.

I am an owner and enthusiastic. I use my T120 Bonneville for city rides, long distances (Prague - Amsterdam vv) and for daily 120km rides through hill (mountain) landscapes from village to village on bad repaired roads with gravel and zand on it, and some unpaved field roads in the Czech Republic. I wish I could upload a picture of my adjusted Bonneville as an answer to many of your remarks. I have additionally ordered this bike with a center stand, classic fall protection groom bar , and a middel high Triumph fantastic wind screen that you can apply or take down in one click. Also a original beautiful an comfortable Triumph special gel Buddyseat. Also the original classic Triumph leather rear site bags with the accompanying groom rack and rear passenger support/ rear luggage rack. I also ordered other tires, rear shock absorber’s , and the original more sound Triumphs special exhaust dempers. It’s a bit extra money all together, but… than you have the best universal bike as possible. One big disadvantage: if the bike tips over on the left side, you can be 100% sure that the clutch lever brakes. This is a big problem because the bike won’t start without it. You can find yourself stuck in the middle of nowhere. Better buy a spare clutch lever and the tools for replacement..

Very best review I have seen. Had my R 120 for less than 2 months. Traded in a 2015. Just more of everything.

The T120, in my option as owner, has the impractical downside of tubed tires in combination with a hard to reach backend due to both dempers. If you take that one on a long trip, bear in mind to arrange road assistance since fixing a flat or doing chain maintenance is quite difficult

Was browsing for bikes today and fist time i threw a leg over these babies. I m in love. Prob my next bike. It s a beauty. So having said that, this is the best comprehensive review i ve found on youtube. Kudos @TheMissendenFlyer. U got my like.

Hi there TMF, I viewed your triumph videos, some of them several times prior to deciding last November to buy my 2017 T120. I agree with everything you say about this bike. My T120 is identical to your test machine and shares all the same Good and not so good points. I bought the bike as used with only 3.250 Km on the clock. It has now covered 9.200Km. I was attracted to this model after a long day's outing on a friends T100 which opened my mind once again to owning a Triumph. This T120 has a very similar appearance to the new 1969 T120 Bonneville I had as a 21 year old. It was love at first sight. It is a great bike for an old codger re-living my past. It's got that Classic look but with all the modern amenities and oodles of power. In addition to your comments, I feel the rear shocks should have been of better quality with adjustable damping. My only other criticism NO BLOODY TOOL-KIT. From buying the bike (in the South Island) I had touring ride home of over 2000Km and had to go to a garage to have the chain adjusted, the mechanic wondered why I hadn't done it myself. Otherwise a GREAT BIKE. And I love it.... Down-under Rider NZ. Thanks for a great review.

The best review of the T120 I’ve ever seen. Very useful and reassuring because I ordered one recently. Thanks. Best, Alex

Very excellent review and hugely useful to me as I decided between a 2017 T120 and a 2021 T100! Of course there's quite a difference in price and I'm must lean towards the T120 but if I get it and not the other -regardless of price- you will have been a deciding factor. Thank you very much!!

TMF. Thanks to your fantastic reviews on the Triumph Bonneville range (2016) I've now bought the T120. Kudos to you sir!

On the T120, range and fuel level start to update after fueling when the clutch lever is first actuated, FWIW. To get rid of the brake squeal, I replaced my T120's stock front rotors with a pair of the floating rotors from the new T100. No further noise.

T120 comes both with a centre stand and side stand, in the commentary, it had mentioned as side stand, , just to clarify.... thanks. Great review!!

My next bike. Keep up the good work TMF.

Great review and from the heart as well! I bought a 2021 T120 3 months ago as I was moving back to Norwich and have at present also got an immaculate restored 1973 T140V that I WAS intending to sell, but now undecided .. I have only recently had the chance to get out on the T120 and it does ride like a dream, though the T140v is a bit better through corners and town. But most likely due to brain still not switched over to the new machine, different weight and handling characteristics. I am a 100% Triumph fan, Tiger Cub to start with all those years ago and I am so very surprised and delighted that the original Turner design has been blended into this new machine. I can simply sit with a cuppa and admire the bike on the driveway. I know that what I see is often cosmetic, designed to look like carbs, gearbox etc. But I will get over that I am sure. Not a spring chicken anymore, bionic right knee and so electric start, low down weight & height, easy to operate controls and plenty of torque from the lights is GOOD to have. I am preparing for the Advanced Rider test and so I need to abandon the T140V for a while and focus on becoming "as one" with the T120. Mine does not have a centre stand, something I have always had and I will look at getting one fitted. Rear luggage rack needs considering, bought a Boss heavy chain and lock, but where to carry it? I will decide if a screen is needed later on. Brilliant review, thanks, Liam

Really great review. Great to see Old Amersham again. We lived in Tring and Hazlemere before moving to Ireland. I had the T100 and loved it but always felt it needed a bit more power. I recently rode the T120 and absolutely loved it. The extra torque made a huge difference with a pillion. I only used top gear once on the two hour test. The clutch is absolutely the lightest I've used. An awesome bike.

For touring, "Renntec" do everything for this bike.( Based in Poole I think.) Engine bars and chrome fittings for Givi panniers. This is an excellent and honest review where everything has been picked up. Put a little Dart fly screen on though... it makes a difference on a long motorway run.

Excellent review as always TMF. Thanks for your honest and straight forward opinions on all things relating to motorcycles - it really helps us prospective buyers when making decisions prior to purchasing.

Love that bike and the colour scheme is what I remember when I remember about bonnevilles of old. Would quite like a little bit more noise from it though with those pipes.

Just wanted to say thank you for this review, I am back to biking after 30 years, house, kids etc, etc. and this review was instrumental in my bike choice of my 2018 Triumph T120 Black, (which used to belong to Martin Hughes-Games from Springwatch fame) keep up the great work, avid viewer, now subscribed. should have got back on a bike years ago!!

These Bonneville's are great fun to own, I use mine as an occasional bike. I also get the hip cramps from time to time.

I get the same hip cramp, I thought it was just me, that's the reason my T100 is for sale. Bought a harley fatbob, I rode 10 hours home from where I bought it, no problem. Not going to ride a bike with standard footpegs again.

I have fallen in love with this bike 🥰

What really useful reviews.....I've watched and re watched this several times to learn about the T120 as I thinking of one having sadly lost my Guzzi Norge. Thank you so much for your time and effort. Real world information.

Why is it every time I watch on of your reviews, I want to buy another bike!? Just purchased the Tracer 900 after watching your review and I am really happy with it. This Bonnie does look 😍😍 Second bike maybe?!

Excellent and honest review pal. I have the T100 and I’m thinking of getting the T120. You’ve given me food for thought. Thanks

Great review as always! I get nervous every time I see someone move a bike from the kickstand side hehe If it starts leaning to the other side, there's no way back :)

Such a nice bike, i bought mine in 2016 and i am gonna do a long term review soon. Still love it so much and never regret the decision of getting my bonneville.

I love everything about this bike, except for a small issue; I am 191 cm tall, my wife is 186 cm. To put into perspective; author of this video is 175 cm. When riding alone, I feel a bit cramped, with foot controls too far back. She as passenger is out of question for any distance. Frame and engine easily handles our weight but not our length. Deal killer.

Thank you for making this video so delightfully British!

You have sold me virtually every one of the bikes you have reviewed. Should anyone ever say you never find anything wrong well that’s not surprising, there are very few bad bikes built today. However each bike fills a particular niche in the market. I am in the “Old Git” segment. That means the bikes I was looking at were the Triumph twins, the Kawasaki R900RS and the BMW RNineT. So which did I choose? Well based on this review I bought a T120, the green and white model. It’s bloody brilliant. What might I buy next? Well one of the others on the list of course! Many thanks for your review.

Over this weekend had a ride on a Z900RS and a T120 and found the "Bonnie" better suited to my mainly 2 up riding. The Z900 only had 2 klms on it so was a touch tight but the wife had trouble getting on it. Was a great bike though.

Afternoon Mr F. Nakeds are my bike of choice; so adaptable, so light, and you're not going to need to remortgage your house if you drop it. But the Triumph is a retro and that's where most of your issues lie; increased weight, lower seat, fins, etc compared to more modern nakeds. For the storage, I used to use a tank bag and throw-over panniers on the back seat, no problem whatsoever, but you need to have a bit of weight in them so don't stuff them with feathers. For Mrs Flyer, Velcro on the back seat and the seat of her jeans ;) Great vid as always and ride safe!

This video is exactly what I want when it comes to reviewing a motorcycle! Excellent and I thank you

Great stuff as always 👍🏻 being 6'3" I got some 40mm lowering brackets for the foot pegs which got rid of my cramp at about 1 hour 😀

Brill review, making me want to top up my garage with yet another motorcycle 😬🏍 always loved the bonneville

I think the brake squeal is a Triumph thing with the pads - my Storm does the same noise. It sounds like a small spring or clip is dragging against the disc... but I've been assured the only things that touch the disc are the pads themselves.

At 6:20 I didn't see that the side stand was down and thought you walked away with it balancing. My heart sank thinking it would fall haha

Looks a stunner but that high gloss tank is easily scratched as are those beautiful chrome exhausts.

Thanks for your review. I've been enjoying your videos- don't know how I've missed this one seeing as I own this bike, same color. I agree with your assessment but a bit surprised you didn't mention the suspension which is pretty poor, my biggest complaint in fact. As for the sun reflecting off the chrome around the dials, I found it to be nearly blinding and actually sprayed mine black. Other than that, I love the bike. I've added predator pro shorty silencers and they have improved the exhaust note tremendously. Keep up the good work.

Filtering is just the best, you can almost feel the eyes burning in the back of your jacket. I'm 6ft 2in to small for me. Great vid as usual.

It's amazing that Triumph managed to mimic the original appearance of the late 1960's T120 so well, with a water-cooled engine. I think they must have had Edward Turner's ghost looking over their shoulder when it was on the drawing board. If I had the money this bike or the T100 would definitely be in my garage, though my heart says Thruxton R the rest of my ageing body wouldn't thank me for returning to the rear-sets and clip-ons riding position. I did sit on one when a fellow biker crossed the channel on the Euro Tunnel in the same carriage. I thought it was surprisingly small and light but that's probably because of the 710 lb weight of my ST1100 that I'm riding now. As ever, many thanks for a great review.

triumph bonneville T120 2017 cool motorcycle

I find using a dish brush makes washing the spokes pretty easy, but I'm sure I'm not as particular about removing every molecule of grime. My brakes squealed when new too, but they quieted down pretty quickly. Using a full face and ear plugs, the noise never really bothered me. In addition to making the pillion happy, putting a backrest on would make moving it around easier. To tame the jerky throttle, ride it in rain mode. It has all the top end power of ride mode, but with none of the jerkiness when getting on the throttle. Nice review as always.

Great review, big fan! I figured the petrol opening on my Street Scrambler - you need to simply unlock it and than PUSH it down and simultanously unscrew it. I think its the same on this t120.

This is a great bike. That 1200 engine seems very appealing

I had my T 120 for 3 years from new and loved it, its a powerful high speed cruiser with very good economy but in the end I began to notice the weight ( I'm getting old } otherwise I never would have changed it, so I now have a Speed Twin which is 30 kilos lighter.

Nice overall review. I'll be purchasing this bike. It will be my Christmas gift to myself in December! I've been sold on this bike for over a year. I would of had it sooner...I had a wedding to pay for this summer. ;).

Love your reviews...very comprehensive (you cover pretty much everything that 99% of riders need to know, without any nonsense or "filler"), and genuinely real-world useful. Plus, your presenting style and manner are very professional! Have you considered a move to TV presenting, in some field? Not joking!

They have already come down massively in price here. Waiting my time.

I also wanted to thank you for this great review of the T120. What you said and pointed out makes a great deal of sense. Perhaps my only small criticism is that the seat is a bit hard. I am getting an upholsterer to fix this at half the price of the K&Q version. Miss your O'seas vid's with the travel restrictions. Thanks again.

So true re the headlight switches- just when I think I’m used to it I find myself blinding oncoming traffic with a long main-beam ‘flash’ instead of giving them a quickie.

Excellent review, but still think I'm going for the interceptor though.

Hey TMF!!! Great video! I have a 2018 Bonneville T120 with 45K miles on it and I ride the thing EVERYWHERE! I live in Vermont so we are a bit locked in with snow right now but enjoying the content as I'm snow locked here in New England USA. I will be pushing close to 80K miles by the time we wrap up the 2020 season and hoping to be at 100K miles on my Bonneville by mid 2021 season... It's been a great motorcycle but I have run into some issues on my Bonneville T120 since I bought it brand new. FYI. Keep up the great videos I watch them through the snow until I can get out in April. Best, -Jedz

good review thanks!, I've had my T120 for a year now, and I more or less endorse your long term impressions... I tour on mine, and I have the triumph rear luggage bags, not very much storage space and no good for driving rain, the side bars for that luggage though are great for supporting large throwovers, and a 60L dry bag on the rear seat works for me, I've fitted the cruise control option, which helps relieve my right wrist, and some bar end mirrors that you can twist in for threading through the traffic.. cheers !

I really need to buy one of this bike ASAP, I absolutely love it! Nice video, great review of the bike, you confirmed my choice to buy one :)

My compliments and thanks to you, for a great and fully informative review. All going well, this T120 will take pride of place in my garage next year...

I think the headlight set up where you have to turn on the daytime running light is a great safety feature, because the amount of cars in see going down the motorway with no rear lights showing because the daytime running lights are on at night and the driver thinks he or she is running on dipped headlight’s

Great review. I ride my T120 on a mix of roads including longer rides with a pillion. Average economy 63 mpg. Solid and stable with loads of grunt. Not as nimble as the 900 bonneville/street twins which isn't a bad thing for pillion and longer rides. My pillion loves it. Fit and finish are good BUT I have noticed some corrosion on the wheel rims where the spokes connect and on the base of the rear shocks. I ride in all weathers and so weather proofed with ACF 50 even so, still not enough to protect these areas (sad face). Overall a great sound, greatest ride, plenty of grunt and always turns heads (smiley face).

Living with my ST900. 371 miles in one year. Rather look at her than ride. Lol Triumph. 🏆

What a thorough, detailed review! Great seeing your videos as always.

Brilliant review, very detailed and systematic, thank you.

Since I own an T120 I agree with your observations, spot on. The seat for me (a personal thing) is absolutely horrible for more than an hour. There simply is no way for me to even think about touring on it. I've tried the comfort seat from Triumph and it's not much better. I admit I have a sensitive rear end. The lighting for me is pretty bad, I added some lighting to help and it made a huge difference. Other than those two pet peeves with me, the bike is incredible and I love the the power, the smooth tranny and the great flickable abilities in traffic. As for the fuel. I've been running a non-ethanol blend which I think has improved the smoothness of the engine and the mileage. I'm getting about 60 miles to the gallon. Just spectacular! I'm actually going to sell my T120 after a year of ownership because I need something with more extended range comfort and to tour with. The squeal of the front brake is almost as painful as the seat but not a deal breaker. I find the front brake only squeals when I lightly apply the brake, never a problem when applied hard. Great bike for commuting, an afternoon of riding, finish, quality and just a plain fun bike to own. Not so great for longer journey's, horrible seat, fixable lighting and squeaky brakes are the negatives. There ya go TMF, my 2 cents worth... Great review on your part and as always continue to enjoy your great videos. Cheers Mate!

I am effectively a "newbie" in the motorcycle world of today. At age 65, I rode motorcycles back in the 60s and 70s. More off road than on the hard stuff. I had a Kawasaki 250 (enduro?) , a Husqvarna 250 for motocross, and a Kawasaki 900 (maybe a 1973) for the road back in the day. Time passes and about 40 years later my children are riding motorcycles and I am sitting at home doing nothing sooooooo ..... I start looking at motorcycles and see how attractive the Triumph Bonneville 2107 T-120 is! Boom! I take the rider training course and learn some good stuff. Buy a New 2017 Bonneville T-120 and open up a world that I had closed off decades ago. This video addresses turbulence. For me at my age I prefer to mount a wind screen to shunt the wind around my body so that I can ride in the eddy of the wind and reserve my energy for something other than just hanging on (you know there is such a thing as limited energy). I fully agree with his judgement on the quality of sound, comfort, and looks. I can not comment on relative fuel economy; yet can confirm that actual fuel economy on my T-120 averages about 60 miles per gallon (after 3,500 miles). At 5' 10" on the comfort seat I can easily put my feet flat on the ground on a level road. One of my concerns is that I find that the foot pegs scrap when I am not being aggressive in the corners/turn/curves. My first day out and I scraped off about half of the material that is designed to be scraped off? Thank you TMF (I do not know your name). I am a subscriber. I really appreciate your well thought out videos. I learn from you. Please continue producing these valuable videos. Thumbs up! Thank you. Oh yes; as an aside . . . I hope that you will use you valuable experience as a owner/rider of the Triumph Street Triple of many years to evaluate a new 2018 Triumph Street Triple (765cc) R. I am particularly intrigued by the "R". as it is the more "street" oriented model as compare to the RS which seems weighted towards the track. Waiting with baited breath . . . . And again thank you for you videos. Heated grips . . really good. Gears are appropriate to the power produced by the engine.

Great review as usual but I do think you are asking for trouble doing your walk rounds in the Chequers driveway 🤪🏍👀

Great video review! We here at VikingBags are huge fan of your content! Keep up the good work!

Learned how to ride 10 days ago on a late 80s Suzuki Dual Sport 200. Worst experience of my life. Sloppy throttle, bad breaks, and a dirty carburetor (died on me before and after each exercise). Long story long I passed the class. A week later I bought my first bike, a 2018 Triumph Bonneville T120 Black. Did a couple of laps in the dealership before taking it onto the road and stalling it 7-8 times in traffic. After swallowing my pride (and about 20 min later) I got the feel of the friction zone and spent the majority of the day riding! Not only does this bike look sexy but it also delivers in the power arena. Everytime I throw it into 4-5 gear (haven't gone to 6th yet, working up to getting onto the freeway) I feel like I'm 15 again. If you're thinking about buying this bike think no more. Triumph is selling these things @ 0% interest with a $1000 instant rebate through the end of the month!

HI Mark another great review on the Triumph T120 ,i want them all but it,s called money . Keep up these outstanding excellent reviews cheers.

Of all the reviews I’ve seen on this scooter yours has been the most honest & informative yet. Had a 1994 Harley Davidson Heritage Nostalgia. White / Grey with Red Overlay. Lost it in a Divorce. 700lb plus beast. Haven’t rode a bike in years. Being in the states HD is the way to go. The 883 & the 1200 Sportsters are considered girl bikes. It wasn’t till I saw a beautiful blond on a regular Heritage that I said “Screw it” “if she can handle a big bike so can I.” Any who. Fast forward to today. That Triumph is sexy. It’s the bike Marlon Brando, Steve McQueen rode in the 60’s. Growing up in the 70’s as a teenager it was Arthur ‘Fonzie’ Fronzarelli’s Ride! 👍🏽 Ay!!! 👍🏽

Thank You for a great review of this T120. I like how it looks , and from what I can tell, it gets the job done well. I like a bike that you can ride 2 up on, and theres plenty of power to compensate for the heavier weight. Thanks again for the good review.
