R u brother of john bonham?
Thanks for this Jack, I'm literally looking at biting the bullet and buying a 2nd hand one of these, I love the look of it.
To be fair mate why do you need a 1200.
I test rode a speed twin offered a test after I had been on a kawasaki z900rs and I fell in love with the speed twin. I am not a triumph fan and like jap bikes but by crikes that speed twin is a mover indeed
My Richa jackets have this in D30
Fantastic description of owning and riding a bullet, it always puts a smile on one's face no matter what the day brings weather wise, good luck and safe riding to all
I went on Fuzzy's Biker's , Nifty 350 here in Iowa , lots of 350's a few 500's , on the ride you couldn't tell the difference and looks are close , my 500 kept pace fine and it's paid for so sticking with it ................ thanx for the ride Keith and thanx for the video Jack
I also have D30 armour - The only down side is - the armour can move inside the jacket pockets. Not offering any or hardly any protection - but is better than nothing i guess.
Creepy as fuck voice
Just bought a 2020 Trials this month. Where did you get that tank strap? Haven't seen a USA supplier. Thanks!
I bought a gt535 because of the simplicity. Had nothing but trouble with it. The hydraulic tappets are a constant problem,
I have a bullet trials total mileage of 60 ,in running it in,I am using redex upper cylinder lubricants to reduce the stress,it seems to be cooler after a run
The undiluted riding experience, great fun and so very involving ❤
Is Bill still with us ?
Nice review ! Thanks !
Thank's !!!
I'm drawn to the classic as a first bike (I will mainly do country roads). I want to do the IAM course though so I may be better with the Inteceptor.
Hi Jack, My name is Pete, (using my wife's UA-cam) I hope all well, I am a new subscriber, but I have watched your channel for a good while, in fact it was one of your videos that got me to buy the classic 500 Enfield, I purchased one of the last before they finished production because of the exhaust emission laws, mine is in the dessert storm colour. I really enjoyed your videos and reviews, but you haven't put anything on for a year, so I hope all is well, I haven't passed my test yet hope to do it sometime in the future, I'm not to far away from Chester, maybe some day we could meet up and have a coffee and maybe take a ride out to that finest pub in Cheshire The Pheasant Inn, and have one of those fine cold Guinness on a lovely summers day, by the way I am 62, and I also purchased the 650 interceptor, so when I have passed my test I can ride further afield possibly Yorkshire Whitby, Scarborough etc, So hope alls well Jack, hope to see some new videos soon All the best Pete
Hi Pete thank you for your lovely note. Apologies for not responding earlier. It’s been a difficult couple of years. I have had to re focus my time due to family commitments. Close family members needed my support, I lost a very close friend last summer, and have just lost the will to do any UA-cam. I keep thinking of returning now that I am turning the corner so to speak. Still love my 500. Hope you get your test passed soon. It’s not easy these days. Let me know how you go on. Coffee would be good. Take care 👍👍👍
@JackBonhamMotorcycles Hi Jack, Thank you for replying. I know how difficult things can be. I have very recently just lost my brother-in-law, and I have known him since I was 13. It came as a great shock as he is the same age a myself, so maybe in time, you maybe be able to get back into your UA-cam and I hope I can pass my test it certainly is going to be a challenge, I think it's the theory side that may be problematic, I use to work in a motorcycle shop many decades ago in Winsford called Sports Equip, we sold Yamaha and we had branches in Winsford, Northwich and Runcorn. Runcorn sold Kawasaki, and Northwich was Yamaha, and competition bikes, we in Winsford introduced Suzuki at the latter end, hoping it would keep the business alive, but the grim reaper came calling 🤣🤣, and that was the end (dugdales, Arthur Boddies, and Bill smiths, which is still going who you do the reviews for) sadly the other two went as well and yeah that would be great to meet up and have a coffee, All the best Pete
One question, will be convenient for 188 cm rider?
From what temperature does the jacket become too hot to wear in the summer on a bike?
I have heard from owners of both that the 500 has much more pull from stop than the 350.
Perfect for everyday work with my 11" iPad Pro M1!
Very expensive.
Would be helpful - To many viewer & potential buyers of this jacket If you could state your height & the jacket size. Not everybody can walk in to a store & try on different sizes.
This is my favourite model of the 500 bullets.
Brass buttons and zip make the jacket !
I’m wondering if i want to buy one… thank you for your video 🙏⛑
how true is the fit of the Biltwell vs the Bell please?
I have a 2021 Bonneville T100 and a 2022 RE Interceptor. The Bonnie costs 1.5 times the RE and if you can afford it, I’d say buy the Bonnie because it’s 1.5 times the bike. Better engine, better brakes, better suspension, better switch gear, better service intervals, better reliability, better fuel economy, and better range on a tank. But at 1.5 times the cost difference they are both the same value for money. (My interceptor won’t go into third anymore after 9000kms….lucky it’s inside of warranty….unlucky that it’s going to take the local dealer 5 months to get the parts in to fix it).
New subscriber…awesome video. I chose the T120 Ace Cafe Edition. #1125/1400. Love it.
The SPEEDY for sure 100% 🎉
Weird comments
One thing that you didn't mention! Depreciation! Witch will hold its value better? And would a 2 year old T100 be a better buy than a New Enfield?
Thanks so much for a great review For me just got a spanking new T120 and love it
Which side of the D2O protector should be placed in the body direction? Should it be this striped one or this flat one?
Triumph makes a very good quality bike super easy to maintain. And when you stop people admire it. 😊
What size do you take in the Bonanza?
Large 60cm 😊
@@JackBonhamMotorcycles hi Jack sorry to be a pain so did you order an xl in the Scorpion?
@@ElCorona62 looks like he ordered XL (you can see the XL sticker in the vid)
I purchased a 2011 thruxton june of 2023 with 2000 miles on the clock and with many desirable mods. I'm 68 and its a fountain of youth. Very high quality a joy to ride. I have owned @30 bikes Goldwing Harleys dirt bikes. This triumph will be my forever bike easy to handle a pleasure to ride. And gets plenty of attention at the stops. I endorse Triumph as a brand that captures the soul of what a motorcyclist needs.
Where did you buy the leather tank strap on the bike in the beginning of the video?
I will get back to you. The bike is is my workshop so need to go over and look at it.
Great Video thanks....I'm the proud owner of the 2020 Model in Red, here in Australia... I love the look of that Leather Tank Strap, and have been looking for a suitable one for some time...I'd really appreciate a Link to the supplier if possible....Many thanks, and happy riding mate ..
Thank you Paul I will get back to you re strap. I need to go over to the workshop to check it out
Thanks Jack
Nice
Are the compression ratios the same ? How many valves per cylinder do they have 😏? How are the service intervals comparing ? Resale values ?
All that a motorcycle needs to be.
Just another RE 650 commercial. Heavy and under powered full of cheap parts.
Mine lasted 1 year, looks good, but did not last, shame.
I have a classic 500. I test rode a 350. I will never sell my 500. It is absolutely unique, rattly and vibrates horribly. But what an interesting thing to sit upon. The 350 is far more comfortable and usable as a day to day rider, I may end up with both.
Hi Jack, I'm new to your Channel and am really enjoying your Videos...
Others have explained this to you but you insist everyone is wrong and have “drank the marketing KoolAid”. I won’t repeat what they have said but you really ought to take another look. D3O is CE certified so there is a level of testing to these that adhere to European/UK standards. Had the armor failed the tests it legally would not have been allowed to be sold as motorcycle armor. And clearly they adhere to CE ratings as they are still around and in many pieces of safe/high quality gear. Knowing the standards D3O would have to meet to be CE rated, it’s quite obvious the tech is not exactly smoke and mirrors. Truth is, it’s great armor for all kinds of riders. I’m lucky to have never had to rely on my D3O, but know of others that did and it saved them from far worse injuries. If you are still really concerned about the armor, you’re better off checking the actual tests, what they test for, and their results, rather than make a video that just embarrasses yourself.
How to buy d30
Enjoyed your video. Wonderful, concise comparison. Helpful? More so than any other video. Today I find myself bike less and just enjoying my next purchase decision. 10 years ago I think the Speed Twin would have won favor. Today I think the T120 will win the day.
