That is A VERY BEAUTIFUL MACHINE... Nothing wrong with having a few tools in the shed. I keep a 2018 Kawasaki Zed 900 naked for those twisty moments and a 2023 FXST that is being upgraded as I type this from a 107 CI to a 119 CI Screaming Eagle stage 3. big twins, low slung organic beast that makes a huge smile when you crack the throttle. I may get the Triumph 120 Bobber as a 3rd bike...love them all. sounds soooooo GOOD. THANKS FOR SHARING.👍👍👍
I just had my 2024 Triumph Bobber serviced. The mechanic offered to do a free ECU update. The motorcycle sounds and runs great! The only problem is the high gearing and conflicts with the ECU when changing sprocket sizes.
Love the update. Just put my mirrors back to up/ stock location because I just didn’t like having you basically stare down at the mirrors and I don’t like it. Have a great ride.
It’s a lovely bike and I agree the shock exhaust is good enough. You defo need both types of bike in your garage. I can testify that it’s amazing being able to choose a chilled or maddog ride based on what you feel like!
I agree with you, I got a speed twin (smaller 900) and a thruxton - and they serve my swings in mood well. Some days are just shit and you feel angry or down... last thing you wanna sit on is a killer rocket.
I recently rode a speed twin. Part of my test route included a looser surface. I’ve never felt so on the edge of an accident and the anti lock brakes were making themselves known for no good reason. None of my older bikes have any drama on the same surface. Same BS with the bigger Triumph Twins and I really wanted to like them. Shame.
Looking forward to buying one of these to compliment my Scramber 900..but an absolute ’must do’ is to swap both front and rear suspension to progressive springs. They’re not expensive and completely transforms the ride. I’d swap the exhausts too but that’s just me..
It’s a great bike. The stock exhaust sounds good, but remove the Cat and it sounds fantastic. I’ve also fitted a Fox shock which does improve the rear suspension.
@@DD-lc5tshow do you get through the MOT without the cat? My car was decatted and had to swap back to the cat just to get through the mot. Ive got a stock VFR but would love to straight through it but cant be arsed going through the headache of swaping cats all the time.
@@V4demon_ The UK doesn’t have an emission test for motorcycles. It’s louder without the Cat’ but not excessive. I’ve kept the Cat and can refit it if the MOT changes.
No. But for me yes. The Indian was faster and in red it was unbelievable cool. But couldn’t buy one, seat and body position not comfortable and sound with standard stock exhaust was poor so would need more money spent to get it to sound as cool as it looks
I wasnt a fan of the bobber when it furst came out (I've always been a fan of Harleys, although I'm still on a CBT). That's until I saw it live for the first time. Absolutely stunning motorbike
I made the mistake of test riding one while my old bike was in for a service, ended up buying it. Just couldn't let it go. So nice to ride, such wonderful soundtrack and the looks... *drool* haha
Love the look of the bobber but the triumphs just don’t cut it for me. Sanitised like a Japanese bike basically just UJM in flares. Surprised you thought the twin was anything but really weak compared to a super bike. WTF have you been riding? Is this satire? Loved the lack of indication and life savers lol, sorry my bad no it made me cringe.

I have the high bars with the mirrors down. honestly, getting used to them is daunting. But the look is fabulous! Function, not so appealing..

Nice bike , too bad Triumph doesn’t put an effective front mud guard on the bike , look at all that muck crammed into the radiator!
Totally agree

Im de cating the bike soon. But suspension sounds expensive
Surprisingly not! Hagon front springs for example are less than £100..straight away you’ll notice front end stops diving when you use the brakes

That’s a plan in the future. But been told the 2023 version the cat is welded in and removing it is very expensive
@@midlife-crysis
Yes I think that’s true. Mine is a 22, so got lucky.

How did you damage the bike
Woman bumped the bike from behind while I was parked at a petrol pump.
@@midlife-crysis women drivers say no more
I would much rather have the Bobber, "Slower safer" more fun, still does 70 and sounds sexy as f**k 😁
better then an Indian Bobber?
No. But for me yes. The Indian was faster and in red it was unbelievable cool. But couldn’t buy one, seat and body position not comfortable and sound with standard stock exhaust was poor so would need more money spent to get it to sound as cool as it looks

This bike will get more chick's and make you look slimmer...
It might get you more chicks numbers, but you're not taking them anywhere when you've got no pillion seat

Life savers? This is a chest mount camera. How do you think you would see life saver head movements?
I can recommend fitting a fox rear shock …transforms the ride …
