Don't ever apologize for taking out Kenny Loggins, you did us a service lol.

Haha Class mate you jinxed yourself there “definitely going to be a man down through this”

Agree with what you've said. I've over inflated my phantom tyres which isn't ideal but they performe much better. Will change them as soon as they wear.

Great video 👌🏼 I have a 2008 Versys 650 with low mileage but I'm thinking of changing to a Himalayan. I have the chance to buy a 2021 Himalayan, upgraded cam from new, upgraded LED light and other upgrades too. I'm not into speed, but I'm still torn on what to do. I don't put up big mileage, it's mainly just for a short ride if the weather is nice at the weekend. I love the look of the RE, I suppose my concern is the reduction in power......I don't want to go from plenty of power in the Versys to almost being in the way on the RE!? ....but it doesn't look like that in your review? Did you try an overtake? I mainly ride back roads and main roads.....Very little motorway. Your thoughts?

Blah

🤦 'Promosm'

I am looking hard at getting the same bike. It sounds you made a good case the change the tires now instead of later. $$$$

Great presentation, the dialogue was perfect, just like a rider would be thinking to himself as he meanders through . I fully agree with his thoughts as well.

For a dislike how about access to clean the chain or rather lack thereof … and don’t get me started on the major job it is to clean the front sprocket!

Cool video thanks for sharing 👍

Morning Chateau - That looks terrible! You need a CRF for those roads 😂😂🤣🤣

Respect guys, that some lovely scenery but gnarly routes.

Hi Ade, we bumped into you the weekend mate. Ditchriders. Didn't get your number. We are out Saturday doing coleville loop just wondering if you guys fancied joining up with us.

2:53 Well, it’s not just me then. I currently own an RE Interceptor 650, and I make pointless trips to my garage to look at it. I sure hope that the day I buy my own T120, I don’t make twice the number of trips to my garage just to look at both of these bikes 😂

Ha. Your bike has now found its way up to a new home in the Scottish Highlands-with an ex pat brummie. If you are ever up this way let me know :-) lovely bike. You looked after it well!

eek. could've been fairly terminal!

Dislikes??? Wtf

Great review especially as i recognised every road on the video.

i know exactly what you mean and feel about these bikes , great video

What screen have you fitted please in replacement of standard Honda one.

can you please tell which bar-end mirrors you have on the bike here? Thank you for your time. Nice bike.

Wish you all the very best when she comes, totally impressed by what all other reviewers say/write about it but terrifies living daylights out of me! Will stick with its little brother NC700D for now!

Time to upgrade your kit Verbal and not wear flares lol

Greetings from Florida, US. At 6:08 I hollered out loud, ooooh! Hahaha! Noticed you you backed out of it a little after that. Enjoyed the video.

I want one so bad…..❤

I pick up my Blue 2022 DCT tour tomorrow. Honestly it's like christmas in September. Have fun with yours too.

I wonder what caused him to suddenly get squirrely ?

My likes would be the wonderful good looks, the engine and the sound of the pipes. Much like yours. I wish I could own one, but I can't. My wife always rides with me and she has battled cancer eight times, with 12 surgeries in ten years, maxwd out on Chemo, Radiation and Cyber Knife treatments. SHe is now on innumotherapy every 28 days and will be for the rest of her life. She started hvaving seizures two years ago so we went to a trike. We feel if she had a seizure on a two wheeler it might cause an accident. On the trike I think I should be able to pull over and to her needs. But I love the Triumph Bonneville T120, for me the Gold Line would be the one I want. As far as dislikes, the high price. I think they are over priced for what they are. Second, tube tires, but that's the price you pay tp have the retro look with s[oked wheels. That's it! Some people don't like a chain drive, but I would rather have a chain than a belt. I don't mind cleaning and lubing a chain once in a while and they are much easier to change the gear ratio if I want to. Thank you for the video. After watching it I want a Bonneville even more!

A barely wet road is the most dangerous. When the road has had a good soaking the greasy feeling disappears.

You bought it for it's looks and you bought a black one? Nothing kills the look of Edward Turner's eternal classic design than layering it in Druid black

Congratulations on your new purchase ☺️ Did you order the standard version, or the fully dressed tour version?

The Bike is honest and it is what it is. Doesn’t pretend to be like any other but itself. That’s character, isn’t it? Although, I think that when the road is in bad condition the suspensions, front and rear, they transmitted everything to the rider and that wasn’t a nice sensation. I wonder if the suspension could be bettered…maybe a little more sophisticated suspensions wouldn’t be a bad thing here. The tyres have all the right looks but I believe that changing it could give the rider a whole different sensation, I imagine it would. But at the same time it would be a pity to change the classic beautiful looks of the bike, and the phantom Pirelli tyres give the bike that retro charming looks. I don’t know…Could be the difference, with different tyres?

Yes get rid of those stock pirellis, they are outright dangerous and uncomfortable. The compound is botched. So sure, they last forever but lack any grip unless it's a really hot and dry day

new subscriber here recommended from motourev, looking forward to the rest of your library.

A man after my own heart.....go out to the garage just to take a look.

Love that route, some belting roads 😍🤘🏻

Couldn’t agree more. I have a 2020 T120 Black and I’ve put just over 13,000 miles on it. Best bike I’ve ever owned. I’ve put a Metzeler Tourance on the rear, and a Dunlop F20 on the front - vast improvement. I’m a Brit but live in California now. Can I ask where this was filmed? Looks vaguely familiar but can’t place it. I’m originally from Cheshire. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

I am interested in owner's opinions on the Himalayan's ability to absorb sharp edge bumps/ road repair/ potholes at 60 mph. I owned a 2103 V-Strom 650 and the forks would hydraulically lock when I hit such obstacles at speed. It sent a sudden sharp jolt to my wrists. I tried to tune it out ( cartridge emulator kit/ stiffer springs/ fork brace/ lighter fork oil) to no avail. It was better, but no comparison to cartidge forks. Seeing as this bike has similar low tech suspension, I was wondering if it was more compliant?

Im in Australia and have the same bike and am very happy with it but, my biggest dislike would be the seat, after only half hour or so, I find it gets really uncomfortable. I know they have aftermarket better seats for ridiculous prices, but I am a bit surprised at how uncomfortable I get with the standard seat. Perhaps its my boney bums fault. 😜🤪

Great initial thoughts video, and despite having a Thruxton R and not a t120 I found myself totally agreeing with your number 3 like, the way it makes you feel. They make you feel good not only riding them but looking at them at times you can't ride, talking to people admiring your bike and the pride of ownership that brings, it all adds to the experience and I guess its the same for most triumph modern classic owners. Also regarding puncture repairs, I had a puncture in my rear tyre that caused sudden rapid deflation, caused by a small nail that in a normal tubeless tyre would have resulted in a slow puncture at worst, after that I sealed the rims to run tubeless and feel much safer, and still perfectly sealed after 10k miles. I would seriously consider it if you're changing tyres anyway.

2018 T120 owner, and I agree entirely. The bike is just the right blend of modern refinement and classic character. It's a pleasure to ride on the quick side, but far more rare is it's also a pleasure to ride slow, and that's what makes it superior to the Speed Twin that I also tested. The stock tires got squirrely on me when they shouldn't have, so I swapped for Conti Road Attack 3s. Disagree a bit on the bike's worst qualities: headlight high beam is awful; the lights on the instrument cluster vanish in sunshine; and the bike is a little slow to turn in (but this also makes it more stable). Overall, it's absolutely a peach and 100% delivers what motorcycling should feel like. And it's all-around comfortable.

I am the proud owner of a 2019 t120 bonneville diamond edition , Relaxed ride , effortless , no over reving , smooth and grunty. Absolutely love the bike and do the same thing by going into the garage to fire her up and just look forward to the summer months.

EXCELLENT video. Simple, Honest, to the Point. THOROUGHLY ENJOYED it. 10/10. LOVED how you said you go to the garage just to look at it!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahahahaha Looking forward to your next 'review'. Regards.

Love my T120 but I agree about the tyres, changed for Metzler road techs after 450 miles along with Ikon suspension as I do a lot of 2 up riding.

My only dislike of my T120 is no self canceling turn signals. Love love everything else about this scooter. I own a HD Ultra Classic and a BMW Grand America and I find myself rolling my little Bonnie out more than the other two.

So did you buy one?

Not only clutch lever were Chinese made, the wires of the bike and the led bulbs also made by Chinese, you still want to ride the Truimph?

Fabulous! I have same bike too ..slightly larger Puig screen, Puig bar end mirrors, changed the indicator lenses to clear with amber bulbs, 4 bar Matt black tank badge... And a few smaller additional black styling changes...got it just how I want it Just ordered that phone clip...looks great and looks rock solid and not obscuring the clocks...enjoy bro !!

Nice review mate!! I am a 50 years old beginner from maxi scooter who want to have now a bike for smooth longp rides. I thought for my first bike to take the Versys 300, the Honda cb500x or the Himalayan. Will you recommended this one for beginners!? Thanx a lot and cheers from Serbia ✌️

Haha “pointless trips to the garage..” very recognisable 😆
