+benyagmac sorry, I actually said " it's a motorbike" in total astonishmnet that we might have found one of the best we have ever ridden.

+gwwayner - Couldn't agree more! A lot of the target market (55 years old+) are pretty much beyond having masses of HP & are more turned on by a bikes rideability. I'd say Triumph have pretty much aced it with this bike & like H-D have figured out there's a lot of coin to be made in the accessorising basic models. Also like H-D an owner is literally buying an image but UNLIKE H-D they're getting a proper bike instead of a tarted up dinosaur.

+gwwayner What's more, the engine is in a very mild state of tune, so this promises to last you a lifetime -- or 100000 miles, whichever comes last.

He came very close to dragging a foot peg in some of those corners. I've read the shocks are not the best so you may want to consider fitting a pair of Ohlins. The front forks have been called a bit mushy, so maybe some thicker fork oil? The front brakes are not stellar but the single disk is lighter than the Speed Twin's dual disks and thus it turns in better. Maybe aftermarket brake pads would help? Still, it's a beautiful bike and would be my choice if my wife would allow it. (I had a BSA Lightning which I laid down in a corner. She has been biased against bikes since then).

+Tim Kreitz Adventures Fancy seeing you here ;)

Shocking, right? Heh-heh. ;-)

+Tim Kreitz Adventures you better off doing some upgrades in your bike than trading for this one maybe a bore kit :)

Nah, I have set up the way I want it. If I wanna go fast, I'll jump on my Kawasaki 1200. LOL. ;-)

+Tim Kreitz Adventures My 2014 Bonneville has rocked my world and so closely matched the Bonneville I wanted when I was 18!

+street2fighter Well, he talks about it @ 5:50 where he points out there's something wrong about the helmet, but doesn't say exactly what, but to me it looks gigantic on his head, more like he's an astronaut rather than a bike rider. Just google astronaut helmet and you'll see what I mean. lol

Homeless guy

+sql-lover In the mountains?

6:36 Ça craint, le mec avec un caddy dans les montagnes !!

+CherrieBlossoms Knowing you, you will probably be one of the first people to ride one in Canada. ;-) I'll see and maybe hear them in 2 days. Maybe I'll record noise for you?

Thanks!

+Bike World 4:15 That's down 6hp compared to the old one. No it's not, the old one makes 68hp so, it's 68-55=13hp down ...

+νικος γιώργος Good thing they gave us traction control... With all that POWER!

+HalfCrazy520 Extra fuel mileage, if as claimed, had to come from somewhere. May miss the power if you carry a passenger. But looking at it in the video, it looks great. Especially in that shade red. But since they're offering a 1200, I can see why they might offer one that's had a reduction in power. Might be the hipster demographic influence, or more appeal to women.

+Jdm262 Thanks, enjoy it when you do...

+TheMissendenFlyer nearly as good as your reviews!!you're definitely right about the hemet. nice review and a sweet bike but i'll have the GS anyday

+sean barry Cheers Sean....if only that were true (about the reviews not the helmet or GS, which are true!)...

+TheMissendenFlyer I'd love to see that review!

+jeiwaru Feel free to check out my channel.... ;0)

+TheMissendenFlyer thooght subscribed and waiting! thought I was already subscribed before tho

+Ryan Eagon Soon!

+Sam Dekker Sorry, but we've given up explaining what we do any why Sam.

+Bike World Thanks for the reply. This is the first review I have seen on your channel. So I don't know your explanation. Don't get me wrong though, I liked the review and I even liked the music and the way the video was edited. I just would have loved to hear the sound of the motorcycle on its own :)

Sorry Sam, our content is made for a Motorbike lifestyle TV show. We try to cater to non bikers and well as hardcore riders. We don't make informational type content and it's too much work for me as I produce it all on my own to re-edit for youtube. Our goal is to grow the bike market by getting buy in from non riders. Thanks for the feedback and we do listen to the comments.

+gd5830 They're in the Triumph official apparel catalog, not too cheap though!

+Bike World I got a pair of ripped jeans like that for next to nothing by crashing my bike. A matching hole in my knee too.

😂😂😂😂😂

+gd5830 What do you expect from a guy that buys a helmet to "look cool"? ;)

you get a pass if you grew up in the 90s getting hand me downs of all your brothers old ripped jeans & plaid shirts :D

I've now decided the extra dosh for the T120 is about right. I'm really looking forward to the T120 review.

It's nothing like a Star Bolt. The Bolt is a cruiser, much heavier and worse handling, even the C-spec one. I've ridden the Bolt and the new Bonnies look much better made an equipped. The bolt is a fun bike but areas like the clocks, mirrors and brakes are a bit budget feeling.

chaseybears no

Hey, it's library music: audiojungle.net/item/upbeat-inspiring-pop-rock-kit/13065076?s_rank=3

I've never had that happen, scraped up the pipes a few times though so I'm sure it's possible. If you're leaning that far into a turn (which you don't have to btw) you'll hopefully be experienced enough to know exactly where your body and the bike is in relation to the road.

+skittlz101T Yes, happened to me once, then I learnt to keep my feet straight and have my toe on the pegs rather than the arch

+Alasdair Underwood yeah because that's happened to me riding a bicycle. Nothing happened to your foot? lol

+Steve Hillier oh ok thanks

+skittlz101T just a bit of scuffing on the boot, though I almost lowsided as a result

he knee down. lol

Always, it's a Triumph Twin!

+joshua brown not all triumph twins have a 270 degree crank firing order. Thanks for clearing this one up for me though.

the good thing is that it has a wopping 80NM of torque at just 3000rpm, that's why you don't feel the loss of power. very clever from triumph.

Bulbous knob on head haha

are you sure about those inspiration kits I really want the scrambler version I have to find this out

Positive.

It's a Knox jacket...

It's the Barbour x Triumph Jacket

Less HP is fine with more torque. The old Bonnie produced more peak HP but the engine didn't like being revved, so you never used it... Under normal riding, if what they say is true, the new bike will have more power, more of the time.

+joshua brown you are right, I rode it and it feels more powerful than the old, all across the rpm range.

Deal buster for me.
