The Good, The Bad and the Bobber - Final Day on the Triumph Bonneville Bobber 

Fantastic 😁 thanks Q 😁 they definitely have something about them 😁

Did same rather than service trade in Test ride turned into purchase ✨️⚡️✨️❗️

It’s usually a mix of cam and gears 😁 thanks BL 😁

Thanks JW 😁 marvellous 😁 who cares what you look like when you feel so cool and relaxed 😁 yes that 3rd pulls forever 😁 love it 😁

Only if they are white 😂😂😂

😞😁 yes, it rained all the time I had it, very low for a tall person. I would definitely need a hydraulic ramp if I owned one for maintenance and cleaning 😁 or a new back 😁 thanks V 😁

You can attach luggage to this bike & are a couple of companies that make Panniers for them.Just can't have top box.

@@ruahinesrider Thanks for the reply. As you can tell, I know very little about motorcycles. 🤭

Yes, you can get racks for them I think 😁 thanks TF 😁

Thanks Glyn 😁 lovely bike to ride 😁

😂😂😂😂😂 I don’t think anyone could get more in than that 😂😂😂😂 thanks DS 😁

They should have named it the "Triumph Bonneville Bogger" 🤣

@@billellis6538 Yep, pretty much any quotation from the script of Carry On at Your Convenience!

😂😂😂😁 glad someone appreciated it 😁😂😂

😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂 brilliant

Yes, that’s what I thought it would be like🤔 interesting 😁 the irony is the low seat 🤔 thanks Mike 😁

My legs are 28'... would I be OK on a t120? I'm 5,5 but longer in the body. Most people my height have 29 and 30 inch leg

@@Adam-mo2qw I wouldn't think you'd have too much trouble with a T120 as far as you legs are concerned but if you have short arms aswel you might find the bars a stretch (maybe) but pull back risers should sort that for you. I'd say get to your local Triumph dealer and have a sit on one.

@@Grumpy-Goblin thanks, upper body and arms won't be an issue. It's the legs lol. As I say most shorties have legs and inch or two longer. There's a dealer in my town so will take a look

If they put the speedmaster bars on it’s great but they need to put a screen on it then it be a great ride

Thanks 6P😁

Thanks W 😁 brilliant comment 😁 thank you

Thanks JM 😁 I think you are going to really enjoy owning and riding the Bobber, for sure 😁

I just bought one with ape hangers. Night and day difference. I have a 27" inseam and i flat foot it.

GREAT ride...Stay in the wind.@@phillipsnell7188

@@phillipsnell7188 interesting 😁

Thanks J 😁 That’s interesting, I did wonder 😁

That sounds interesting, I shall look forward to that 😁 thanks CMD 😁

Thanks Crumb 😁

Thanks MW 😁

Thanks BB 😁 very interesting 🤔

Yes, the GoPro makes it look worse than it actually was though 😁 thanks S 😁

😂😂😂😂 thanks Tom 😁

Absolutely 😁 you need to get out on them to find out for yourself I think 😁 thanks MsD 😁

Yes, really enjoyed riding it 😁 thanks GCK 😁

Thanks SW 😁 I find screens to be funny things 😁 They don’t all do the same thing. Sometimes they seem to make too much buffeting and noise 🤔 design rather than size appears to dictate their effectiveness 😁 sorry not much help 😕 hopefully others will have an opinion 😁 i will have a mutter about it 😁

I'm of the same opinion as TAYM regarding screens, their shape is as if not more important than their height unless your talking about full size cruiser/tourer type screens. I've fitted taller touring screens to three bikes, a Yamaha FZ1-S, a Kawasaki ZZR 1400 and a KTM 890 Adventure R. The FZ1-S OEM screen was dreadful for head buffeting, fitting a taller screen lifted the wind to the top of my helmet. Wind noise past my ears was still an issue but the buffeting stopped. The ZZR had the double bubble screen but as I'm tall I couldn't crouch and tuck behind it. A Zero Gravity touring screen lifted the deflected wind from around my shoulders to the top of my head but at higher speeds it would drown out my mic in the chin of my helmet. The KTM came with the short off road screen, I fitted the taller S model screen mounted on a Puig adjustable screen mount. This proved ideal as there's 130mm of height adjustment and as well as being able to be locked in any position, the screen will raise itself the faster you go if left unlocked. I guess what I'm saying is there are Pros and cons, no screen means a broad band of less troublesome wind. A short screen will cause higher wind around the shoulders which may cause buffeting. A taller screen will raise the wind to the top of your helmet or over depending on your height but at higher speeds will be loud around the ears. Only a full sized Touring/Cruiser screen like I had on my Vulcan 1600 Classic Tourer will place you in a calm bubble.

@@greywolf9292 great assessment 😁 thanks GW 😁

😂😂😂😂 but you know what I mean ? 😁😂😂 thanks DJ 😁

@@TAYM I do indeed , I for one always hold on to handlebars while having a **it 🤣 ... No seriously I know exactly .

@@WyreForestBiker 😂😂😂

Cons bike is designed for short rides Stock seat, suspension and shock is something that you would want to upgrade right away , legs position is uncomfortable after. 1 to 2 hours riding Pros. The look, low gravity gives you the sensation of a super light bike, torque and handling is amazing ,…. In conclusion if you used it for long rides over 200 miles i recommend that every time you fill your tank which is every 110 130 miles just rest your legs by having a walk and you will be ok is a beautiful bike I understand the bad comments here but like I always say there bikes for different purposes, definitely this is the best bobber of the market

@@Caballero_Corazon_de_Plata thanks CC 😁

Interesting, never knew Stu was short in the arms🤔 I wonder if he has deep pockets too 😁😂😂

@@TAYM HE done video about it said that the Motone up & overs saved the Bobber,alright if got Monkey 🐒 arms like TAYM 🦒😂🤣.

@@ruahinesrider 😂😂😂

@@TAYM . The Long Arm of the Law will always reach .

@@dungspreader 😉😂😂😂😂

I see new Harley Davidson x350 & x500 are coming to NZ 🇳🇿 & Ausie & are Parallel twin 360° crank.The x500 actually looks good in orange 🍊 too & loaded with features like Adjustable upside down forks for preload & rear shock preload,Dampening Compression.Dual 4pot front brakes.47hp @ 8000rpm 46Nm @ 6000rpm & 80% of torque at 3750rpm.160/17 rear 120/17 front.208kg wet. Chain drive. Pity it wasn't a 270° crank but it uses the Benelli Leocino 500engine but more style & metal tank,fenders.2k more than Leocino but less plastic that's 800-$1000 & $1000 for the HD badge 😁😆😂🤣.

My flatmate thinking of getting Learners license & LAMS bike & likes the look of Orange 🍊 Harley Davidson x500 & it has got suspension,brakes, HP,Nm.HE also likes the Super Meteor that looks better & both same price but Harley got more features.Triumph Tiger 🐅 660 is another but is 3.5k more. The Bobber with Motone up & overs & panniers & it a winner Triumphs are fantastic bikes & fit & finish is great even on my Trident 🔱 & it just gets better from there.Lets hope the Triumph 400 keeps up the high standard as best they can for price.Triumph 400 is 37Nm & 40hp so down on Harley x500 which no good for my mate HE'S to big for Triumph 400 the HD x500 is 47hp 46Nm & got 820mm seat height good for HIM.Super Meteor he'll fit but if HD x500 got 16000km valve adjustment might be a factor.

Yes, a surprise video to catch everyone out😁 the bobber videos don’t seem too popular so I thought I would get it out now 😁

Didn't know any of that RR. Thanks

@@TAYM Speedmaster is more popular being more capable to travel further.Only thing that these Triumphs need is a 13.5-14L tank they do have quite a few bikes with 12L tanks Street Twin,Speedmaster, Bobber.Considering you leave 2L in tank at fill up only leaves you 10L which would be 200km max range cruising less going hard out 190km. I guess being a 12L tank you can afford go lower so about 1.5L minium left in tank at fill up any lower risk grit etc getting into fuel system.Also most bikes you can squeeze a extra 400-500mls filling straddling level bike & Triumph manual will tell you this.All Trident 🔱 reviews say 14L but in manual says that on side stand but level when you straddle bike get 14.4L upto just below filler neck.I usually just fill in side stand but notice about 20km later first bar goes away as when I fill straddling bike get a out 30km before first bar goes away then about 21km per L average of 4.7-5L per 100km depending on how you riding.

Very pleasant bike to ride indeed 😁 thanks DD 😁

😂😂😂😂😂 thanks AR 😁

Thanks PGB 😁 yes I do wonder about that reach for anyone under 6ft or with shorter arms 😁

@@TAYM think Tyrannosaurus - and you've got the picture 😂. Maybe we should start looking for these too🤔

@@PhilipBallGarry 😂😂😂😂😂😂

On the triumph site they have add-ons for different bars it looks like

😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s correct 😂😂

@@aussiebikerdude6563 😂😂

😂😂😂😂 brilliant idea and fantastic names 😂😂 thanks Mike 😁

Thanks MrE 😁 very interesting, I did wonder 😁

Thanks BKB😁 I found it so comfortable 😁

I know 😁 she went mad when I took the back seat off Bertie, I reckon she would explode if I came home with this 😂😂😂 thanks Louman😁

Really enjoyed this one 😁 thanks GBD 😁

Thanks LoY 😁

I think you can get a rack and panniers 🤔 thanks AD 😁

Absolutely 😁 thanks Gonzo 😁

That does sound wonderful 😁 I wonder if they do one🤔 if not I think it could be a special 😁 through on some baggy panniers in brown canvas too 😁 thanks JL 😁

Thanks TM 😁 I did almost a full day on one day but with a number of stops. Just felt very easy and very relaxed 😁

Awesome, thanks!
