I watch this review once in a while for giggles. This guy is funny. I've even used some of his lines.. "does it have spirit? Doesn't matter, do you have spirit?" "it's about being cool, looking cool" "does it make you happy?"

You are hilarious what a fresh take!! ! you’re right it’s all about feeling cool!! I’m coming at you from the future 2022 Bonneville T100 When you fire up a Triumph, a beam of light shines down on you from the heavens . Absolutely nothing like a Triumph!! When you tell people you have a Honda they’re like “nice”when you say you have a Triumph they’re like “huh where ??”

loving your honest and laid back attitude. thanks for helping me narrow down my choice for a modern classic.

Haven't been exposed to the whole Triumph nostalgia thing but have been checking out there bikes lately. They are very cool and popular. Nice to see.

"Not gonna do it, wouldn't be prudent." You forgot, "at this juncture!" I like the video. Just bought this bike back in April 2015. My first ride. I bought it for many reasons. But the primary reason was that everyone down South seems to think that Harley's are the only bikes to own. I love the attitude of this bike and hope people down here will dare to be different. Great video!

Looking to buy one of these next month. So excited!

You have reviewed my bike twice now! So definitely worth my sub! Nice to see her in sunny California on superb roads. Over hear (Cumbria, Northern England, where I live) most roads are full of cow shit, mud, oil and potholes.....Bonnie doesn't care;)

You really love these old triumphs, great. Let' s see, what triumph brings 2016 with watercooled and abs. I have a w800 - also a great bike, beautiful twin indeed. Thumps up for Your videos !

My Street Triple R talks to me all of the time... nothing I could repeat on here...

T100 is a great casual bike, just bought one, to be honest the Sportster is pretty fun also.

Love your vids man. All the best from the uk

Dude, love the video...You had me laughing my ass off so much so my wife kept asking "what, whats so funny?" Keep up the good work.

Cool as a bag of cool things!!

Love you Cal Moto.

T100 is really a great bike - kinda bumbed they bumped the msrp up 400 bux, that's crazy for no changes. I'm guessing there will be changes for 2016 though with the EU requiring ABS, we'll probably get the ABS model here in states, and may be additional changes, so best IMO is to either buy a left-over '14 or hold out until '16's are available. From my experience riding it (not a ton), it's a bike that you have to have fun on. It's not particularly exciting to live with, but if you're out there to have a blast the bike will make a great counter-part to you! You really can't go wrong with the bonnie, I've never heard somebody say that they bought a bonnie and they regretted it over something else. ...especially with the Kawi W800 not being sold in the US it's really kind of in a league of its own (most people would buy it over the Guzzi because Triumph has a way better dealership network and what-not), no wonder they've sold buckets of these bonnies!

Another good review:)

Dude, I just bought a 2012 Bonnie with 5 miles on it. I also just found your channel, I love your...sarcasm I guess? Fuck yeah dude subbed! And you're damn right I wear skinny jeans.

Love the T100 black and T214 SE. Would gladly enjoy owning, riding, and staring at either. Sadly the W800 isn't sold here.

Is the t100 enough for a passenger on the highway?

going to get one the start of next year in shiny black, dont know if to get black engine casings or chrome ?

今年の四月に2014年モデルを新車購入しました。現在800キロ走行時点での個人的感想をお伝えさせて頂きます。 　長所→・丁度いいサイズ。日本製1300クラスだと持て余し過ぎ 　　　　・重心が低いため、カタログ値ほど重さを感じない。カタログ値230㌔ 　　　　・重心が低いため、高速安定性が良い。法定速度+αでも不快な振動は皆無 　　　　・普遍的なスタイル。飽きが来ませんね。 　　　　・足つきがいい、私は177㎝（約5’9”1/2）ですが足が余裕でつく。 　　　　　160㎝（約5’３）程度あれば安心できると思う。 短所→・高価。131万円（消費税込）因みにアメリカは約9200ドル 　　　　・信頼性。2週間ほどエンジンを掛けなかったら、バッテリが逝った。　 　　　　　保証クレームで対応したが、日本製のバイクではありえない。 　　　　・高速走行時のエンジンの回転数が高い。即刻6速化してほしい 　　　　・純正部品の価格設定が高い。社外品の選択肢が少ない。 　　　　・燃費。普段乗りで16~18㌔/L。友人のW650は30㌔/L走ります。 　　　　・鍵が多い。イグニッション、ハンドルロック、オプションのオイルタンク 　　　　　シートオープナー、フロントシールドと5つの鍵を携行しています。 　　　　　嵩張るし、迷う。まとめてほしいです。 　　　　・エンジンが熱い。 I bought MY 2014 in April 2015 and have run about 800 km. Let me tell my personal impression for your reference. Pros→ ・The just size for me→Japan made 1300 class, including CB, XJR or ZRX, are little over spec under traffic condition in Japan. ・Not as heavy as the spec of 230 kg,→ thanks to low center of gravity. ・Excellent highway stability→thanks to low center of gravity. ・No uncomfortable vibration within the legal speed limit or little over. ・TImeless classic styling. Never gets you bored. ・Low seat height (775mm) . I am 177cm (5'9"1/2) tall and easily bottom both of my feet. It seems if you are taller than 160cm(5'3"), you will feel secure bottoming your feet. Cons→ ・Hefty price tag in Japan (1.31 million yen including 8% of consumption tax)(about ＄9200 in USA) ・Lack of reliability.I left the ignition off for 2 weeks and found the battery dead. I used warranty coverage but such problems never happened thru my previous ownership (ever owned 4 major Japanese manufacturers, total 7 bikes) ・High engine revs during highway cruising. Hope it should introduce 6 speed transmission ・High price on genuine parts. Not enough aftermarket options available. ・Poor fuel consumption,→It covers only 16 to 18 Km/L. My friend owns W650 and it covers almost 30 km/L. ・It needs many keys to operate.I always carry 5 different keys. (Ignition, Steering lock Optional windshield, Optional seat opener and Optional fuel opener) Should be organized in 1. ・Too hot engine.

great review, funny too! take a look at britishbikebits seat DS003B and too-cool-for-school avon trailrider tyres. (& loud pipes, & bar-end mirrors &.......$$$$$........it gets you!)

I had a 1983 TRIUMPH TSX in the mid eighties. I loved it except for the pipes vibrated loose all of the time. I want this but at 60 yrs old? Those days are gone.

Its on top of my list but do they still sell the previous model ? 2014, 2015?

How many times can you say cool in a video

So now that you've tested both the Base Black and the T100 Black, what are your thoughts/comparisons between the two? Is the handling difference and extra weight that noticeable? Any other thoughts?

I've never ridden a motorcycle before, is this a good one to start with?

Pass that Prius goddamnit!

I guess my main question here is, why are you taking up two parking-spaces?

funny bastard. thanks

Thanks for the video Cal, I'm debating if this is the bike i should get... am I cool, what is cool,? my dad owned a TR6,... am I trying to recapture my childhood why simultaneously screaming father... accept me? Great content keep at it. cheers dude

overtake the fucking prius!!!!! AAAARRRGH!

Can you do a video about the BMW K1300R would be appreciated.

beautiful bike what cc are they

Yea . . . I don't think a bat wing handlebar mounted wind shield would look as cool on a scrambler though . May be a two tone red and clear ? Thanks

Well over 200,000 on Triumphs

*tips fedora*

Any chance a Ducati dealer near by that will treat you like a celebrity?Like to get your feedback on a Scrambler.

i ride a Royal Enfield & wanted to buy the T100 as a 2nd bike but i hated the sound of the bike it was so ahhhhh like i dont knw !!!!

I was screaming for ya to pass the shitbox Prius.

C'mon Cal, isn't it time for a 2016/17 T100 review? I need a fix please.

Hot dog comments man - not a word that's out of place - class video and commentary! Hey - if you lived in Ireland that would be cool - at least weather wise. Who the f***k is Pete.

This "review" would make for a great drinking game. Every time this "reviewer" says the word "cool," take a drink.

I just don't get any of those modern classic bikes.....

Yeah... but.. is it..cool?

Cool?What are you eight?

absolutely a fantastic looking bike..too bad its just a copy...this is made in Thailand!!!!!!!!!

maybe Im wrong, but if you want a British bike , it should come from Britian, if you want US its a Harley or Polaris, victory .. right????

Be still with that camera.....

maybe cool isnt so cool after all

the rider sounds moronic...repeats himself over and over throughout video, ... and manages to say nothing. Remember Moto, some thoughts are to be kept as thoughts in your head, and not allowed to escape to your mouth!
