I've ridden Harleys, Hondas and Kawasakis. I bought this same Bobber standard (same paint scheme as your test bike) two years ago and it is the closest thing to a flawless machine i have experienced. Incredible, Triumph hit the ball out of the park with this one. I'll never want a different bike.
Will this make a good first bike?
@@Guy-mx4fb I have a 2018 Bobber standard in Ironstone gray and I agree with every assessment he mentioned in the video regarding its riding and handling characteristics. You could make this a first bike, yes it will fulfill that role and go on to be a fun bike later on too as your experience level rises. It was not my first motorcycle though (but it was my first brand new motorcycle), I had others prior to the Bobber that were lighter and lower displacement. This bike is good for a shorter rider, someone under 6ft like myself fits comfortably on it and I have no issues putting both feet flat on the ground at a stop, so its good in that regard for a first bike. What you need to be aware of about this bike is that 1200ccs is a lot of power and this bike is no slouch, it pulls like a train and handles very well so the temptation to ride above your experience level does exist with it and that can lead to trouble for a new rider especially. If you end up with one just take it easy until you're more experienced. You will grow into this bike, and you will get a lot of good attention and thumbs up from people as you ride it.
This is a sweet endorsement
How is this compared to Indian Scout Bobber? Any ideas?
My first motorcycle was a 1967 Triumph Daytona 500 back in 1971 maybe this one will be my last motorcycle to celebrate my 76th birthday.
Go ahead and spoil yourself Bob and happy birthday! 🏍👍🎂
Happy Birthday mate. The new 2020 Triumph Bobber with the larger tank and dual front discs make it better. I will be buying a Triumph Bobber soon but I really like the 2020 Indian Scout Bobber which is also a beautiful bike.
I am in your age group, yes the very under rated Daytona 500cc twin of the 70s was a nice machine once sorted out. I nearly bought a new one then. But family persuaded me to get a Honda K4 350cc twin. A horrible machine it turned out. Holed a piston in the first 500 miles. Faulty from the factory an useless dealers mechanics.
Put it right myself, was very reliable after that.
Triumph now, way overpriced an under engineered.
Fake Plastic Carbs! What the heck!
If you want a cheap an good twin with old style charm but reliable, try the Royal Enfield 650cc Continetal GT.
Frame from Harris Brothers in England.
I have the 535cc single Continental GT I bought new in 2015. Same Harris frame, Brembo brakes an Italian forks an rear suspension.
Pulls like a Steam Loco, goes round corners like it is on rails on back roads.
l have done a few sensible mods to it engine wise. Will will just touch the magical Ton, timed not on the speedo.
If the RE twin is not for you, try the Kawasaki 650cc parallel twin, I have heard good things about it. An NO fake plastic Carbs fitted!
I hope this is of some use to you an others.
I love my 1982 Moto Guzzi Le Mans 850cc, but would Never buy a new Guzzi now. The Screaming Eagle has Sadly lost its flight feathers.
@@deutschedog3259 Thanks for your input, food for thought.
Ride on man! Happy Birthday!
Triumph is my favorite bike manufacturer, they have great bikes, great engineering, great designs. My speed triple was an absolute joy, and all I ever got was compliments on it.
Whenever you mentionTriumph, my mind goes back to my high school days and a good friend had a 650 Bonneville with a kick start on it. A beautiful blue color, lots of chrome, and he was bigger and stronger than me and it took all he had to start his bike up. Very high compression motorcycle and he could do it and make it look easy. Kick start, real carburetors, that was way before they had forged wheels for anything, so he had spokes and it was an impressive bike to say the least. Triupm has always stayed ahead of the market and built a bike that turned heads and performed like way beyond peoples imagination!
69 Bonneville, was a pleasure to look at, and even more to ride!
I've had three Triumph motorcycles (Speedmaster, Sprint and Tiger) and they are all sweet motorcycles. Triumph knows how to engineer a good machine.
So incredibly cool. My dad had vintage Triumph bikes when I was a kid and I WISH I had one still!
We have a '20 model and it is quite surprising. It's quick, nimble and it's actually comfy. I can grab a decent set of panniers and do some light touring on it. One of the most beautiful stock bikes I have ever seen too. Worth every penny.
I love this bike. I'm still waiting on a call back from my local Triumph dealer on my Bobber Black in Ironstone paint. Can't wait.
Triumph will always have a special place in my heart. The first motorcycle that I ever purchased was a 2011 Triumph Scrambler with the Khaki Matte Green paint and I absolutely loved that thing! I still have it although I do not ride it much. Was more of a "date" motorcycle ;)
I love watching your videos for two reasons. Motorcycles and the Lord
Triumph is making some really classy bikes, love my Bonnie.
Beautiful bike. Will absolutely add this to the stable some day for sure.
Love the looks of that Triumph, mind you Triumphs always were good looking machines .
I'm not generally into bobbers but that looks really sweet.
Man, I gotta finish my bobber build. Thanks for the reminder, Shaun!
Traded my Sportster for one of these. I absolutely don't regret it.
Did you get the skinny front version or the fat tire version. I torn between the two.
@@investlikeawarrior I got the standard...narrow front end. It was on sale when I got it and substantially cheaper than the bobber black.
@@billymadison619 I test rode the bobber black, but felt it was too heavy in the turns. I’m looking forward to test riding the skinny front end one someday
he dont believe that bikes come with the ammo box? he cant be that stupid
@@jokenfu Not great. The factory seat and the small tank are fine for around town. Ive done a couple long, 200+ miles, rides with it but it's certainly not what the bike is designed for.
Thanks Shaun, looks like a well made bike. God bless.
All the best from the land of the north. God be with you
"It's not what you ride, it's how much lip you can smack..!!"
Almost makes the video unwatchable.
Breath innnnnnnnnnn LIP SMACK!!!
Came looking for this comment, so annoying hahaha
imagine what he is like eating with his mouth open
It’s almost like he’s purposefully doing it
Test rode one a few years ago and liked it as a second bike for city riding.
Triumph has the best lineup of bikes out there.
My mom wouldn't let me use her basement to build my bobber so I had to buy one from Triumph.
Ha ha
Didn't know Triumph were in the business of selling basements ;)
@@morganmitchell4017 They do but they call them cellars.
I built mine in my bedroom.
I have a cool mom.
Great bike
That's one sweet machine, and the build quality is second to none.
The lip smacking is strong in this one! ❤✌
someone get Sean a glass of water PLEASE!!!!! :P
It's the same if you watch Wheels Trough Time
Holy McFucken Moly.
Loose the chewing gum/tobaccy etc?
Starting to annoy!🤨
Very strong, it’s giving me the screaming shits 😂
Actually, the Bobber goes well off-road. Mine has been through creeks, over logs, and airborne (slightly) while rounding up cows....
Love the true classic look.
I looked at this bike at a Harley Davidson dealer and I love this bike
Love the show always amazing I do learn so much man keep the words of wisdom coming
I’m amping up to buy my first bike. Glad I found this channel, some education! Added bonus: that “ah hahaha” he does when he gets going 😆
Back in 1968 rode a bonnie to school very fun. Nothing better at the time bsa or triumph I jumped from a250 bsa to the 650 bonnie, now in my 70s ,think I need to do it again.
Beautiful bike! Ammo cans are my favorite feature. I know, I'm weird. Great video!
I’ve got a triumph bobber TFC. Love the bike.
You've so quickly become a favourite channel- and all down to the words of wisdom. Thank you- keep it up
I have a 2014 Bonneville SE and just got my Trident delivered this morning. They have something to suits almost all tastes.
I’ve got an 18’ and I absolutely love it. Triumph nailed this one and for a guy that turns bikes over pretty quickly I see myself keeping this one for a long time.
I've had my 2018 Bobber for 2 years. Even gets a thumbs up from Harley guys. The bike is nimble, good looking and fast.
Thumbs up from a Harley guy is not a ringing endorsement
And that just about sums up how sad these bikes are. In the good old days all bikers, except the Harley riders, would wave or nod to others.. Yet now the mid life crises boys have accepted the Triumph Bobber into the club.
@@dave6467 I acknowledge people on Vespas, Moto Guzzis , Royal Enfields, the three wheel Polaris rigs, Hondas, Yamaha‘s, Ducati‘s and every other motor bike. WHY? Because they’re people just like us taking a ride on something that’s not a car or a truck. Now go back to Milwaukee and get over yourself.
Lew. Haha, thanks for that. Just for the record I don't live in Milwaukee, though I get the sentiment. I live in Australia. Oh and I'm glad you wave at Guzzi owners as I ride a 1980 Guzzi LeMans Mk2. A genuine classic, made with passion by a team of people to whom the factory (still) is intrinsically linked with the local community. It's not a totally fake (in every sense) psuedo custom bike, made by robots in Thailand. When I ride my bike it's because I love it, it has a soul and not because I'm trying to fool the general public into thinking that I've created some sort of special unique bike in my basement. Oh and by the way, having ridden for 40 years, I also still wave at anyone on two wheels. Glad to set the record straight.
@@dave6467 Dave: I wish that you lived closer to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania because I'd definitely invite you for a beer and a ride on one of our incredible roads in the area--I'd even loan you the Bobber! My current "stable" includes a 2007 Harley Custom Deluxe, 2018 Bobber, 2005 Yamaha FJR1300 (old man's crotch rocket) and 2012 Triumph Explore Tiger Explorer. I've been riding since 1973---it's an addiction that I love. Sadly, I had to trade in my 2014 Moto Guzzi California because there are no mechanics in the area for service. I also just sold a 2002 BMW R1200C because they are a pain to work on. Going into last winter, the battery went dead---I had to remove the gas tank and the fuel lines to replace the battery. The 20-year old fuel lines fell apart when I removed them. Anyway, thanks for being a good sport and a fellow rider. If you'd like a less-public forum for our discussions, please email me at lewis.soltis@gmail.com. I'd love to keep the conversation with you going! Take care, mate!
Yep. I own a bobber black. It's awesome.
That nose breathing and lip smacking!🤙🏼🤙🏼😂😂
First thing I did was Booster plug X pipe and V&H pipes. What a difference. Great motorcycle. Still have mine in 2024. No issues.
I have one, love it! Great torque and looks. Once you learn the machine it is really fast. Easily outraces most cruisers on the road. On the cons it has sub par breaks and is not comfortable for long rides. Also 27in seat height so larger riders beware.
Great stuff love the channel. Long time subscriber.
Had two HD sportsters , which were good , the bobber however is GREAT
Love mine - hating the Ammo boxes but easy enough to remove!
Cracking bike.....I know I’ve got One.....God Bless Brother keep Safe......👍🇬🇧🤓
They also make this bike with a cruiser seat and beach bars. Can’t wait to try one
I've got a 2018 Bobber Black. Only issue I have is the tank size. If you do longer rides you will be stopping to fill up a bit. I ended up buying a little gas bottle in case we were out on some back road far from the next gas station. Speedmaster tank is a direct fit and is bigger if you can get your hands on one. Other than that I love the bike.
i own 2018 Triumph Bobber (matte) Black and i love it....the first thing you saw when you press the Info button was Traction Control and it shows ON ...press and hold the Info button again to turn it OFF.
Couldn’t agree more. Test ride this bike in October. Amazing bike. Just need to save my pocket money. Riding this in the highlands of Scotland. What else do you need!
Great mix, great scenery and great bike.
I test rode one at the launch and instantly fell deeply in love with it ... I'm just about to take the plunge
A bigger tank?? 😆
@@captainaverage721 that would def help. Think the 2021 model has a bigger tank
@@robertcumming9390 Aye, think its about another 3 litres
That's sick, even love the color
Hi. Thanks your vids always give a fair honest review of the motorcycles tested.
Whats the brand of the windscreen on this bobber?
The Bonneville doesn’t suit my kind of riding, but I do own a Tiger, and it’s the best bike I’ve ever owned. A pleasure to ride every time I get on it (which is a lot).
Triumph makes fantastic bikes, in my opinion.
Awesome looking bike! I also love the look and ergos of the SpeedMaster
Thanks for posting thinking about downsizing myself only thing I think my chain driven motorcycle days are over
That's a good looking motorcycle !
Sweet looking bike!😍
Very nice Retro...I dig it.
Sat on one of these at my local bike shop and that was it. I need this to be my next bike. I'm 5'8" and it fit me like a glove.
Rode this bike once. Pulled like a train and everything about it looked/felt premium.
Man this may be my next bike. Such a rad bike
Motolove! Love my own Kawasaki. Always putting up the good stuff like Delta Parole, Metallica, Alice In Chains and others when I am working on her. Moto is life
Looks so good
I kind of dig the ammo cans to be honest. At least with the bobber seat it looks right. It's a pretty bike for sure.
Gotta find somewhere to store stuff! lol
Ohhh yes! I WILL have one! Best looking 1200 on the market
i love triumph but my speedmaster in cobalt blue is much prettier and i can carry stuff bc i have a backseat! if u spend the money on this bike def get the speedmaster version. worth the upgrade
I own the 2018 Speedmaster (Pretty much a two up version of the bobber/Same frame & engine) and I absolutely love it. I put a decat, pod filters, and a tune and its a complete monster.
I would love to send and share my bobber build with you guys. I love bobbers and would love to see more of them 🙌
I do totally agree, my next bike!!!
Love the video - looking to get one later this year. Okay - odd question - what boots are you wearing?
Just put a deposit down on a crimson red and white stripe version with black vance n hines exhaust, looks gorgeous , might do a tail tidy n a fly screen but thats it , can't wait to blat around the Yorkshire Dales , UK 😎
Hell yeah brother!
Great review Man!!😊👍
Love the bike...! Wow...Nice...! I want one...!
I love the place .... perfect bike for the perfect road
love the stainless steel exhaust
classic stylish functional well done
i personally own this bike i absolutely love it
Demo’d one last year they are uhhmazing
It's a great looking bike
I'd have it Amwell if only i had the baa beez worked all my life couldn't afford 🙃 nothing new ahhh Well you look after it mate 👍
Really happy for you🏴🏴🇺🇲🇺🇲
Triumph have definitely started making really good bikes again. Even their new modern superbikes are beautiful these days and I've never ridden one but there supposed to ride really well too.
I've got one too... Only ridden it once though... got it at the end of the season in 2019 but didn't ride with Covid last year. Hopefully this season !!!
Several years back I went to the home of a British man who lived in my Louisiana town. He had a Bonneville bagger. Red with white accentstons of chrome and a wind shield similar to what you can find on a road king.it was a special edition Bonneville but I can't recall what was it's sub name that it was more known as. I knew something was missing having watched through out the holidays I was missing the proverbs.
I had a 2011 Bonneville very smooth engine great for the highway, always wanted a 6th gear though. I love the classic styling and quality.
the new bobber and speedmaster (which is the bobber with a passenger seat and better handlebars) does have 6th gear and is 1200cc
@@TinyDragon Sweet, I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the info!👍
have vids on my channel about it
I really love the style of this bike... I just finished with my MSF. no prior motorcycle experience. would you recommend this bike as my first bike? I'm looking at buying one that I know i'll keep for years to come. Im really short that's why im looking at the triumph or scout bobber due to their low seat height. initially, was looking for ninja 400 for a beginner bike but im not sure if I want a sports bike
Love this bike.
Love this one how much should a used cost with low miles say around 2018/2019
I really like it. I'd like to see a review of the BMW bobber that I think maybe they made also. Good video.👍
You've just reviewed my next bike. Actually I want the 2021 model. Nice bike.
Love mine so much that I dedicated a UA-cam Channel to it!
You guys are awesome
I ride a sportster 48 (HDs factory “bobber”) but this bike is niiiice
Always been a fan of true bobbers. I would always cringe when someone on those motorcycle reality shows would say they are building a bobber and then show some chopper, with a crazy rack, and longer that my truck. Just because you “bob” the fenders, don’t make it a bobber. This is by far the best looking factory bobber I have ever seen. I still prefer the look of my ‘68 BSA Thunderbolt bobber, but I am sure the Triumph is a much better ride, and easier to start (kick start only on my BSA). I am kinda glad I don’t live near a Triumph dealer, I would probably have less in my bank account if I did.
Yeah that's sharp! 👍
Glad you are enjoying the Triumph. I have a Tiger sport 1050. Another great bike. Try one. 😉
Damn that’s a beautiful bike.
Hey Sean did the bike came with the saddle bag? Or would u be able to post a link to it
I'm definitely old school biker as far back as the early 70's, I had them all EXCEPT a Triumph and BSA, I'd buy that bike in a heartbeat
Cool bike and review 😎
Love the words of wisdom moments. It's great to see a classy dude give great reviews.
My wife bought her first motorcycle last year, a 01 Bonneville. She has never ridden before so I rode it home. I was really surprised how zippy it was. Didnt have the torque my bike does, but sneaky fast.
Hey would you ever do a video about a triumph scrambler Xc or Xe I would really love to see your opinion on it.
Lol 😆... love the marketing...
And that’s my favorite triumph too...!
Beautiful machine! What about that chopper in the back? ✌ from Portugal🇵🇹
The clutch, its like butta.
When did they switch to the 1200? I noticed you said the ‘17 has the 865. Or do they offer it in multiple engines?
Coolest old school style bobber but I still got a Scout. Fake air cool fins on the cylinders and fake carburetor just didn’t do it for me. Tank capacity a little shy. But cool cool. Great brand. Nice electronics and features. Very visual bike with good power and handling. Almost there...
