Yes there is distortion on it as I said in the first few minutes it was a new setup and every time you set up a new helmet things are different. About the first 3 or 4 minutes at most I'm talking about changing helmets. I wouldn't call that a review and the entire rest of the video is about taller bikes and shorter riders. I didn't call anyone an idiot (I can only think you mean that I commented on the poor folks who'd broken down right by the traffic lights) I certainly wasn't calling them idiots just saying it was not an ideal spot to get stuck.

It is a Triumph Accesory so If you are in the UK then you can order it from any Triumph dealership as far as I know.

Not in the UK, but I will look and see what they have to offer us Americans. Haha

Haha The Angry Troll you need to get yourself a proper user name so I know it's you. Really liking this new lid it is so light you don't even know you've got it on.

Thanks for replying. I think that is something that we all think about and I've given a lot of thought about. Yes I've had times when I've had to think a bit harder about where to stop but I've also had incidents on smaller bikes where my foot has slipped on mud or gravel. I think that knowing you are on a tall bike keeps your mind focused a bit more for sure.

Definitely , I've had some sketchy moments on smaller bikes too ,I agree stay switched on

Definitely my favourite.

Glad you're enjoying your bike. Mine still feels special every time I ride it I think it will be with me for a long time to come. You are right it is not a bike for people who don't want to talk to people. I've even had a little old lady stop her car and wind the window down to tell me her Brother had one. 👍

Thanks I've had it a year now and still love it.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your life to leave a comment I really do appreciate it. I really look forward to watching one of your videos.

All I can say is you've lead a life buddy that's for sure. I have some stories but they are definitely not suitable for UA-cam 🤣🤣🤣

​@@Grumpy-Goblin they're the best stories!!😂

Thanks Jim 👍

You do realise that you can skip forward if you want to? No one is forcing you to watch it all but thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

I think as long as you stay on top of your maintenance then you rarely have M.O.T issues but still it always feels like a win when it goes straight through :-)

Good to have you along for the ride Dave, thanks for commenting 👍

Haha like Black Beard the Pirate mate 🤣🤣🤣 no I do have a beard but it's not that glorious lol dead cat in shot lol It was a shame about the Harley but it turned out to be a relay failed so not too bad just annoying.

@@Grumpy-Goblin 😂😂😂

Cheers TAYM, I really like the Metzelers on my GS so I might have to look into that. Yep that LC was really nice :-)

I HAD METZIERS ON MY TRIUMPH 800 3 AND HAD 25000 KLICKS ON THEM, GREAT TYRE.

@@jims5632-nb2gb I'll have to look into it because I love the Metzelers on my GS and they seem to be wearing well.

Fair enough, not your thing but thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. There will be some different content coming soon that features more on individual places. I'm guessing that's the kind of content you're more interested in.

GREAT VID.

@@jims5632-nb2gb cheers, appreciate that, thanks for your comment.

In better weather it gets rammed :-) same here I can't wait for some better weather it has been so miserable I think we deserve a break now lol 🌄🏍 Thanks for leaving a comment appreciate it fella👍

I've had it a year now and it is now due a service that I'll do myself so probably about £60 or £70 in oil and filters. It flew through it's M.O.T £29 with no advisories and it will need a back tyre soon which will be about £150 so overall not that bad. Not sure what Triumph would charge for a service. Probably £300 or £400 but as the service intervals are 10,000 miles or annually then not too expensive to run.

Thanks as just considering this

@@stanleylawson9015 no worries, sorry I can't be more comprehensive but all I can say is that so far reliability has been excellent and costs don't seen bad at all. As far as fuel goes I get high 60's mpg (UK).

Well I didn't want to say an angry troll gave it to me lol

Thank you 👍

Congratulations enjoy your maiden trip. Hopefully it will change your life for the better. The Goldline is lovely.

@@Grumpy-Goblin will let you know 👍

@@Grumpysprout please do and if you have any questions just give me a shout. 👍

I think that is part of its great success tbh it is modern enough to be competent at pretty much anything in the modern world but looks amazing while doing it.

@@Grumpy-Goblin spot on

My Wife likes it and I think it is a nice addition if you carry a pillion but I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay the price Triumph wants for a new one.

A first bike maybe bonkers but as a first big bike I don't see why not. The cc has nothing to do with it because you could get a 600cc bike with more power than a 1200cc Bonneville.

It is a good tip but you soon get used to riding it in traffic without using rain mode.

Very true 🙂

That's such a shame because a bad dealer can sour a relationship with a brand. I only have experience of dealers here in the UK and my interactions have always been good so it is a pity that your experience spoiled the brand for you.

@Grumpy-Goblin Yeah, they're all smiles when they sell you the bike, and as soon as something's wrong with it they do everything they can not to help you. Oh, well.

Yeah the scramblers are lovely but too tall for me and I'm not sure how they would be for touring.

Thanks very much I appreciate you watching 👍

Cheers Victo I do love it. I've yet to see your new beast I'll have to pop round. 👍

@@Grumpy-Goblin yes of course you're welcome anytime 👍

Thank you so much I appreciate it. 👍

Thanks TAYM, I wish I could have spent more time videoing it. I might pop down and ask Mark if I can take it out for a spin.

@@Grumpy-Goblin definitely 😁 would make a good video 😁

I can't disagree with that. I have yet to find anything the T120 can't do well with the exception of proper off-roading but I think a few mods and it would even give that a go. I've not been to Tenerife but from the vids I've seen the Bonneville would be a great sight seeing bike on those roads.

@@Grumpy-Goblin Go look at my channel. There are vids from Tenerife on the T120. This April, I am going back and will be taking the T120 and Bobber for a spin for 4 days 👍

It's not changed much apart from the Woodman Pub gone.

Thanks for the comment, that is interesting information I might have to look into that. The Thruxton is beautiful and if I were twenty years younger and not broken I would probably say the same but the T120 suits my old man's back lol

Hi there, thanks for your comment. It is tricky to say how effective the screen is as it was on when I got the bike but it does seem to take pressure off your chest. I did 1500 miles in a week on the bike including a big motorway stint at high speed and I didn't feel strained by the wind at any point.

Cheers mate and yeah it would be good to meet up, I'm really looking forward to the weather improving.

I don't think I did "slag" the guy in the Landrover I think that was a bit extreme. Yes I do know the area and yes he could see me before he committed to pull out because I saw him so he could have seen me. No it wasn't ever going to be dangerous as I could have stopped if needed as I was well within the speed limit and. I just thought it was a little discourteous but not a big deal.

I concur with your findings on the T120 it’s by far the most awesome sounding bike I’ve ever had and a absolute joy to ride it also gets lots of attention when I’m out and about I have the gold line competition green over silver ice, thanks for sharing 👍👌🏍 it would be awesome to to hear the exhaust note next time as it’s mmm

@@jimbandit1250sa thanks for your comment, I think I've finally got to grips with the audio setup so hopefully the next Bonneville vid will have that lovely exhaust sound.

Absolutely, I think the Guzzi is a good effort but is not quite there on styling and quality but is probably the closest. Thanks for your comment.

I should have mentioned the V7 it is a fantastic bike especially the special. For me it would be my second choice to the Bonneville but I can understand why some people could go the Guzzi route. Thanks for your comment.

Shaft drive and 21 litre tank are no brainer

But still keep the rocket

Cheers Nicholas, I really do think they have something special. My Son's Partner has a Speedmaster and I do like it but sadly the cruiser style doesn't suit my back. My wife loves the Rocket but she has to make do with my GS lol. Take care and thanks for commenting.

Thanks for your coment I genuinely think it is hard to think of a better all round motorcycle that has this level of quality. I think mine will be with me for a long time to come.

@@Grumpy-GoblinI had a 2019 t120 it always ran hot the fan constantly coming on even on very cold days? Does yours??

@@johnterry804 Hi John, yes they do tend to run hot. It isn't really surprising when you think what a small radiator they have and I'm guessing that is why they still have proper fins on the engine rather than just decorative ones. I've never found it to be too much of an issue except in traffic it can be annoying.

@@Grumpy-Goblinwell I agree with you? Just found your channel and subscribed! Also my t120 was in white and blue! After selling it I had 5 different bikes since then! Just sold my bike and pick up my new t120 on 8 March funny same colour as yours 😂 I like your little screen! Have you a link to where I can get one? Or is it a Triumph! Which are expensive!!

@@johnterry804 thanks for the sub, I can understand why you are getting another there is something special about them. The screen on mine is a Dart screen sorry I don't have a link as it came on the bike but just Google dart screens.

Thanks for all your support TAYM. it's definitely a tad annoying although I think I'm going to voice over until I can get some decent equipment to record audio.

Hi there, a very different bike to a Bandit but £5k should get you a really nice GS. I had a CBF1000 so I can tell you that the GS is a completely different beast. I would definitely try and get yourself an extended test ride. Good luck with your search.

@@Grumpy-Goblin completely different beast in a good way or bad way? Im 6ft 1

@@Mitchstep for me it's a good way but it did take a bit of getting used to. Definitely not as smooth as an inline four and initially the single plate clutch and the gearbox felt like they were off a tractor. You definitely wouldn't describe the gearbox as snickety. You do have to take time to learn use the torque rather than just reving it to the moon and again you have to adapt to the gear change but once you do it is a joy to ride.

@@Grumpy-Goblin yeah I think I just need to take one out for an hour and see what I think! I do love an inline 4 and was debating getting a gsx1250 (bandit with a dress on) but the GS just has something different!! I have heard the bandit 1250 is a supremely underrated bike

@@Mitchstep I've had a few mates who have had big bandits and loved them. I will say I think if you want a bike that you can cover big miles In comfort then a GS is hard to beat. Definitely try one but also don't be immediately put off if you don't gel straight away.

Thanks for your comment David, this was my first ride with the camera and I agree it was tilted too low but lesson learned I'll be aware of it in future.

If you've never ridden on you definitely should. I must admit it took a while for me to "understand" it but once you do it is a fantastic thing especially for distance covering.

Thanks Willie as you can see I am a fan of the shiny shiny stuff lol

@@Grumpy-Goblin and so you should be buddy,it's a stunning bike 😍

Mike is in illustrious company.

I know exactly what you mean TAYM they are the Volvo estate of the bike world 🤣This vlogging thing is bloomin' hard though TAYM I don't know how you do it. Thanks for all your encouragement👍

Yep it seems we have one or two round here 🤣🤣 The indicator thing seems to make sense in my brain but it makes it hard switching between bikes. Many thanks for watching TAYM 🙂
