The Triumph Bobber | Even More Special Than I Imagined!

Рет қаралды 239,606

2 жыл бұрын

With thanks to Tenerife on Triumph motorcycle rentals ( www.tenerifeontriumph.com ) for lending me the Bobber! Prices are €140 a day, or €120 a day if booking for three days plus.
The day finally came- I had the chance to test out the Triumph Bobber!
I had a few hours to decide what’d be my pick between the Triumph Bobber and the Indian Scout Bobber, and also the Triumph Speedmaster .
And how would this heavy, modern classic bobber, with low ground clearance handle, and would it actually be fun!
I hope you enjoy it!

I really like the bobber, I am planning to test ride one. However, I have sat on one and felt that it might be a bit small for me, felt a little cramped. I could spend all day at a dealership and test ride everything, I'm sure it would really annoying the employees

@andrewkay114 2 жыл бұрын

I know exactly what you mean, I sat on a Bobber for the first time a couple of weeks ago and found it very cramped but it didn't have the forward foot controls which do make a world of difference 👍

@ElliotDooleysmith 2 жыл бұрын

@@andrewkay114 that is true about the forward controls. I don't recall if the one I sat on had forward controls or not, thinking probably not.

@FreddieDobbs 2 жыл бұрын

Very good points! Adam (the owner) put on ape bars and forward foot controls specifically to make the bike less cramped and I promise you it absolutely transforms the feeling of size on the bike. For me at 6’1, it feels perfect- the first thing I’d do if I bought one is apes and forward foot controls. I know apes are polarising, but I do love them and they give you much more space🙂👌🏻

@ElliotDooleysmith 2 жыл бұрын

@@FreddieDobbs yes agreed. I can imagine with the Apes & forward controls it really makes a difference. And for this bike they both look so damn good, this type of bike is exactly where those mods are at home. I'm a fan of the aesthetic of apes, been considering them for my Harley, however, as it's my own mode of transport I'm not sure I'd want that for long journeys all the time. I would imagine your arms must ache after awhile? At 6'2" myself I do value your insights on these matters 👍

My favorite Triumph Bobbers are the ones prepared by Thornton Hundred, they are out of this world and TBH if the Scout Bobber didn't exist I would already be on one of these. Thank you and Monica for all this content you guys make, your sheer excitment is contagious and I also love the fact that you include clothes styling & lifestyle into your videos. Cheers and ride safe !

Another excellent video, Freddie and Monica! The Triumph Bobber is the bobber to get in my opinion, although I am going for the Speedmaster to have the two-up riding option, as well as the super-comfy seat! Freddie, watching your final thoughts on the Bobber, I was out-of-this-world impressed with the fact that you did that all in one take! While watching you, I kept thinking, ‘Freddie is a consummate pro!’ Literally all those thoughts conveyed brilliantly all at once. Incredible! Also, you are spot-on about those of us looking at the new modern classics, quite the nitpicky lot indeed! Along those lines, twice in the video you commented on looking for a fit-and-finish squabble that you may have and could not find one, and I agree that the fit and finish on these new Tiumphs are superb. But I was reminded of your comment you made in your Speedmaster review video, and it was the only one squabble: the rear signal design was plastic instead of metal. And I agree 100% with that critique; it would really make a difference if it were metal like the front and rear mudguards. That’s a small critique, but I am one of those nitpicky ones. :-) Brilliant as always. Cheers!

The triumph bobber came to my attention by pure accident, and in doing so, I felt the need to look it up on KZfaq, and found your video. Freddie, I absolutely love your enthusiastic honest opinion, which clearly came straight from the heart. These are the kind of reviews that would make a consumer want to buy. You’ve certainly helped put it on my number one list, so thanks mate.

The way you describe this motorcycle makes it abundantly clear that you have a profound appreciation for beauty. The result of well executed fine craftsmanship is often more beautiful than most modern “art.” It is rare indeed that a thing can be beautiful, cool, and functional. The Bonnie bobber is obviously all three of these things.

Another great video, Freddie. This is the only moto content my wife will even watch, let alone enjoy. I test rode the Bobber Black before settling on my T120 Black, but I had the same initial impression of the Bobber you did. The handling was surprisingly good, especially in the corners. Probably good to note that this was a Bobber Black and not the regular Bobber. While some of the differences are cosmetic, the front wheel and tire are a different size, which definitely improves the handling for the Black. And the Black has two front disc brakes compared to one for the standard. At 5’8”, the apes would be a bit tall for me, but Motone makes a nice 1” up and 1” back riser, which would probably do the trick for me.

Great video Freddie, the best. That Bobber is sweet! It's on my short list. I think Triumph has put more engineering Into their motorcycle's than the other Bobber's.

@mowgli6345 2 жыл бұрын

The price point? A bobber is supposed to be a cheap bare bones parts bin bike that anyone can build by taking popular old models and removing everything until only the essentials are left. Most bobbers aren't even supposed to have a rear suspension or mud guards. Triumph basically just imitated the look, added modern technology, and charged 15k for it. This is overpriced hipster garbage. You're literally paying for something that LOOKS like a bobber.
