- NEW BIKE DAY! This is the video you and I have all been waiting for! I have been without a bike after selling my 125, but my new bike has now arrives. Did you guess correctly what it might be? Some may see it as a bit of a curveball, but after Sitting on a Triumph Bobber at the MCN show earlier this year I knew I would have to save up and have one as my first big bike! Introducing my new motorcycle, the Triumph Bobber Stealth 🥷🏾🚀

#newbikeday #firstbigbike #triumphbobber
Quite the bike to pop to the post office on 😂
Haha, exaclty! Might have to get another bike just for post office runs!
The purple paint is absolutely gorgeous. It's a beautiful bike and I hope you love it. It's quite the engine jump from 125 to 1200, you certainly won't have the issue of struggling to make it up the hills like the Honda did 😂. Like you say though, take it easy at first and get used to it. Stay safe out there and enjoy.
Thank you, I couldn't agree more - I absolutely love it. Hills are no longer an issue, it just wants to go 😁
Congrats on the new bike Tommy, looks and sounds great. I moved from an MT03 to a Honda Rebel six weeks ago, the low seat cruiser style is so much more comfy. Saw a Bobber recently and thought it looked really cool, defo on my future wish list. Enjoy buddy. 🎉
Thanks, I appreciate it. I bet you are loving the Rebel. The cruisers are just a bit more chill than what I've been riding on my DAS. Built for comfort, just like me 🤣
What a beaut 😍 never would have expected you to go for a bobber but now you have it I couldn’t think of a better suited bike. Enjoy the power mate and congratulation on starting the rest of your future 👊👊
Thanks man. I am looking forward to trying it in 'Road' mode rather then 'Rain'. That should be fun 😀
Congratulations on the new bike. I have the bobber as well, and I love it. I would highly recommend a Dart flyscreen, takes the wind off your chest at speed.
Thank you, you have good taste too I see 😀 Cheers for the recommendation, I'll look into them if I ever travel anywhere with motorways!
Congrats Tommy 🎉 picked a great bike looks and sounds amazing 😍can’t wait to see it in person one day
I’m struggling to find neutral with my bike aswell😂 but figured out if the engines off it goes into neutral fine so that’s what I’ve been doing😂
Thanks Harriet. Perhaps bike night tomorrow if the weather is dry 👍Ah, always weird getting used to something new. I saw you had insured it, I take it you've had a good ride on it now?
@@TwoWheelsTommy ye I’ll be there I’ll keep my eye out for you if u go:) I’ve ridden it to work and back but that’s about it but might be going for a ride with a friend today so should be good I love it
@harriet_._05 OK cool I reckon I'll be there if it is dry 👍Hope you manage to get out today and dodge this crappy weather!
Congratulations! Keep the content rolling 🙂
Thanks, plenty more to come 😎
I passed my test in January and really wanted a bobber but thought it might be too much to go straight from my 125. Fair play for getting the bike you want I wish I had now. Although had a great time on my speed 400 and now on my trident but a bobber is definitely next and it has to be a 74 plate as that’s the year I was born 👍
Nice one, I bet you had fun on the Speed 400 though, they are brilliant bikes. Should see some 74 plates popping up for sale soon (Not this one!). Go get one 😀🚀😍
Awesome bike Tommy I have a T120 if I didn’t need two seats I’d have the Bobba 😌👍🏻🤩☀️ we’ve just got back home to Birmingham after being in Shanklin on holidays on my triumph been down military rd great blast thanks for sharing buddy. Regards Jim👍🏻 enjoy
Hey Jim, I bet it was great riding that down Military Road. What a fantastic stretch of road that is. I'll get over that way soon for sure 👌 Hope you had a nice holiday 😀
Man, what a beautiful bike, I am happy for you!
Thank you, it is a lovely machine 😍
Oooo, that's a lovely bike, I'm really pleased for ya, Tommy.
Thanks John, I am very happy with it 🙂
Stunning bike tommy..great choice.and that colour is awesome too.
Thank you, I love the colour so much! 😍
congrats lad been here since the beginning so happy to see you doing well
Thank you for sticking with it 🤣
the sound of the bike is wonderful! have a great time on it mate!
Thanks, watch this space - it will sound even better sometime soon 😀
Nice choice, loving the model planes.
Thank you - I do enjoy flying those things!
She's a bute' Tommy, wishing you many happy and safe miles on her!
Thanks James, appreciated 👊
Very nice Tommy - not jealous at all 😉
Thanks Man, can't believe how lucky I am! 😀
Nice one mate 👍 cracking bike youve got yourself and well deserved. Safe riding man
Thanks mate, I love it. Ride safe yourself 😀
Awesome bike, congrats!
Just about to book my DAS, buzzing
Alright Harold, thank you. Good luck with your DAS, you will love it 🤩🚀
Nice bike - congrats! About getting used to steering a heavy bike - remember your counter steering. I know you know this, but from experience getting a heavier bike it is vital, especially if you feel you are running wide in a bend, to "push left to go left push right to go right". On the 125 and even 650s it is quite easy to dip a shoulder and lean the bike but with heavier ones you really need to push the bars to get them to turn. Best of luck mate.
Thanks Mark. You are right, the steering is much heavier than on previous bikes that I have ridden. Some good tips there, it feels like it is becoming more natural even after a few miles which is cool 👍
Congratulations Tommy lad! Lovely bike….wouldn’t have guessed that in a million years but good on you! Think you might be filling it with go go juice a bit more than the 125! 😅 But it’ll be worth the extra pleasure it’ll bring! Safe riding!
Thank you! Yes quite a strange choice for a first bike but it's good to be different. You are right about the petrol situation, but the noise makes it worth it for me - especially when other vehicles on the road are getting quieter and quieter.. By all accounts the ear pleasure goes through the roof with a different exhaust fitted so I have that to look forward to 😍
Lovely looking thing... I went with the Scrambler900, which I'm loving..
Winters coming, if you give it a nap during winter, read up on ACF-50 and give it some protection... 😎
Oh I love those scramblers. I think the new 400 is brilliant value. Thanks for the tip, I bought some previously for my 125 but never got round to using it. I intend to use it on this bike 👍
Love your videos Tommy, I’ve been watching since doing my CBT and getting my first 125 in July, you’re first ride video gave me confidence and reassurance for my first ride. I’m hoping to move onto bigger bike, fancy a Triumph speed 400 in the spring 2025. Cheers buddy 👌🏼😎
Thanks for watching! Glad you like them. The Speed 400 is lovely, consider the Scrambler 400X too as they are brilliant too. Good luck 😀
Big wheel for the win 😅🤪. What a lovely forst ride! Your audio is so crisp! I need to get a set up that works. Been on two longish rides recent and my audio has been pants 😆. Looking forward to seeing more bobber rides! They're such a joy to ride.
Hey! I actually love the look of the bigger wheels on these. I will be doing a video soon of my whole camera setup. Just waiting for a new camera to be released 👍 Plenty more where this came from 😀
Very very brave, 125 to 1200 in one step!!! Go carefully and enjoy!
Thanks, it only goes as fast as you twist it!
Very exciting Tommy! Iv just done my CBT and picked up a honda cb125f. Been following along with your journey as inspiration.
Nice one, sounds like you'll be on a big bike soon enough then, go get it! 🚀
Wow! What a beautiful bike 😍 I didn’t see that coming but it defo suits you! I love the stealth colours 👌
Thank you very much. All of the stealth colours are amazing 😍
I bought the same Bike two months ago. I love it every second.
The Bike was customized recently. I could send you some pictures for inspiration if you wanna change yours.
Brilliant video Tommy. Loving the bike and I bet you are too haha. Love the look of the bike, looks quite relaxing and chilled. Very stylish. Makes me want to get another bike as I haven’t ridden in 4 months and just overall miss being on a bike. Wish I had never sold my bike but I had to due to things, but I’m always on the look out for another. I really like the triumph speed 400 and would love to own one. Ride safe.
Thanks Smithy. I am smitten with it 😍That's whay I like it, I don;t need to race anywhere. Comfy and noisy is more my style 🤣 I'm sure you'll get back on a bike soon enough, those new 400's are awesome, before I knew the Bobber existed I really fancied a Scrambler 400X. Ride safe yourself 👊
Hello been watching since the start of your motocycling journey great first big bike i love the triumph bobber 1200 and im pretty sure your first service will be at 600 miles then yearly after that safe riding buddy
Hey Daniel, thanks for watching! You are quite right, 600 miles should carry me through to spring then I can have it run in by summer next year 😀
Great first bike Tommy. Well done and congrats 👍
Thanks. Your a Triumph guy too, right?
@@TwoWheelsTommy Oh yes, I have the Scrabler 400x and the T120. The T120 is the same engine as your bobber. And, I understand, the same mapping on the ECU. So, you are going to have a great time with the bobber. Just lube the chain every three hundred miles - maybe a bit more if riding in bad weather. The engine requires an oil and filter change every 10000 miles, or every year. You should be able to do this yourself 👍. Document it well and this should not affect your warranty 👍. Tommy, you have picked the perfect bike 😆
@bankruptpensioner That's right I'm sure I remember watching a video of you going to collect the Scrambler or something. You have great taste 😀
beautiful bike, sounds and looks great. congratulations!
Thank you Russ. Even better sounds coming soon (ish) 😀
Not a fanny at all mate , good idea to use rain mode to get used to a bigger bike . Look at bobber suspension seats if you wanna soften the ride .
I agree, at least wait until the tyres are bedded in a bit! I have ordered a COC Customs springer seat yesterday. That said I find the ride ok as it is to be honest. Probably because I'm a lump 🤣
Congrats mate, bike looks amazing, especially the purple on the tank
Thank you, I really love the colour 😍
Fantastic bike Tommy!! Love it! Proper bobber job! 😊
Thanks Bro! I am over the moon with it 😍
@@TwoWheelsTommy While you were looking at cruisers, did you check out the Benelli 502c? Nice looking bike for a Chinese/Italian brand.
@Yoyo_Bro I didn't. The reason being, I just saw a Triumph Bobber and that was it, I was having one! I looked at Harleys and Indians too but I just love the look of the Triumph. I will have a look though, sounds intriguing 👍
Been watching from the start of your journey to the new beginning of your big bike. Like most I did not see that coming from you Bobber no way, Enjoy and stay safe Tommy Lad..
Thanks for watching! I think a Bobber is quite an unusual choice for a first bike, but I don't plan on changing bikes often so got what I wanted from the off! Ride safe yourself 😀
thorton do very nice kits for this bike! make it really stand out!
They do indeed. I'm sure some of their bits will find there way onto me bike in good time 💪😀
Wow, what a first big bike to go for! It sounds awesome even with the stock exhaust 😍
It is awesome. New exhaust soon for more noise!
Love your new bike , good sound, enjoy, bet it feels nice to move from a 125😊😊
Thank you, it sounds good doesn't it! It is next level, the step up in quality over my 125 is something else!
Congratulations Tommy! 🎉 beautiful bike 👌 I love the bobber, always wonder if the feet out would be tricky to get used to?
Went for a RE 650 Interceptor as a first bike. 1200 bonnerville or Bobber would be a dream bike for me! Safe riding 👍
Thank you. Actually it took about 3 seconds to get used to the different riding position! The Interceptor is a great looking bike, hope you are enjoying it 👍Ride safe yourself 😀
Beautiful bike I personally would remove all those ugly stickers from the tank to be able to appreciate that lovely paint job
Thank,s you have great taste. The stickers are GONE! 😀
Congrats. Thats a very nice bike!
Thanks Harvey, I am loving it so far 😍
Needs a loud exhaust, that’s the first thing. It’s a nice bike. You should change your name to Two Wheel Ace Tommy now 😂
On the cards Ian, gotta re-fill the coffers a bit first 🤣
Beautiful bike mate, very nice, great choice ❤
I am glad you like it Christopher, I am loving it so far 😍
Congratulations on your new bike Tommy 😊 I got the kawasaki eliminator SE just because it's low down and I can flat foot it. That gives me confidence 👍 I find I ride out for longer now I'm on a bigger bike. Ride safe
Thank you Angela. Your Eliminator sounds awesome! I forget how lucky I am being able to flat foot any bike I've tried so far. I saw a guy at the traffic lights earlier on tiptoes!
@TwoWheelsTommy most bikes are very tall. Only being 5ft with my Daytona boots on, I still found I was tip toeing on them.
@angelapartington5884 Sounds like you are making it work, nice one 👍
Wow. Hell of a first bike Tommy! Ive just brought my first bike, Kawasaki Vulcan 650 S. Havent even done my CBT yet, much to my wifes dismay 🤣! Happy riding!
Thanks Kieran. Wife dismay is quite normal, you should embrace it. It makes you exciting 🤣 Haha don't take advice from me. Enjoy your Vulcan, I bet you can't wait to get on that thing. I hope your CBT is booked already 😀
@@TwoWheelsTommy Theory is on the 5/10/24 and the CBT is booked for 7/10/24. So, hopefully, as soon as I have my CBT in hand, I can book the big boy license ASAP!
@kieranbritten2522 Oh sweet! Go get it. Good luck 💪
Great to see Tommy. That’s honestly my dream bike right there. That and a triumph rocket.
Stay safe brother
Thanks, you should get one. It is so nice. Those Rockets are bonkers 😍
My first bike after my test was an 800 Triumph Tiger. Lovely bike so I had it for a few years. Happy riding Tommy, beautiful bike.
You've definitely caught the riding bug.
Nice bikes those. Thank you mate, I am thoroughly enjoying it so far 😍
That's a beautiful bike Tommy! I passed my test last Friday at lee on the Solent aswell. Waiting for my bike to be delivered in the next couple of weeks, If you ever fancy a ride out on the main land I'm inbetween Portsmouth and Southampton if you ever wanted to ride with someone!
Hey Jeff, thanks mate! I'm hoping to do some bike events on the mainland next summer if time allows so that may well happen! Well done for passing your test, what bike did you go for?
@TwoWheelsTommy ah good man, I went for the Royal enfield super meteor 650.
Just followed and messaged on your insta. Gimme a shout when you're this way.
@JeffTubb08 Nice, they have one outside the Royal Enfield dealer I have to go past everyday. Smart looking bikes 👌
@JeffTubb08 Comments have gone a bit mad on this vid so I expect I'll get around to Insta tomorrow! 👍
Loving the colour stunning bike
Thank you Paul, the colour really sets it apart I reckon 👌
Congrats on the new wheels! sounds and looks great.. Enjoy the ride!
Thanks, I am very happy with it so far 😍
Loving the new bike and the vids keep it up I watch just about every one makes me exited for the day I get my own bike
Thank you! When are you getting your bike?
@@TwoWheelsTommy To soon to tell but I’m daydreaming about it at this point 😂
@breakfastbomber2337 Be prepared for lots of that 🤣
@@TwoWheelsTommy 😂😂there is no turning back
@breakfastbomber2337 You had better believe it!
Nice one Tommy take great care with the new bike and well done ride safe
Thanks Ian, for sure, I'll treat it like a baby! 👍
Nice bike Tommy. I purchased the SpeedTwin 1200 Stealth Edition… stunning colours..
I’m guessing tyres should be good after a few hundred miles on ‘em.
Enjoy riding the bike. 😊
Thank you. The SpeedTwin is a lovely bike too. I'll take a it easy for the first few rides then, cheers! 👍
Congratulations Tommy, on the new wheels.. safe riding buddy..
Thanks John, I appreciate it 👊
That is a beautiful looking, beautiful sounding bike. Straight to 1200cc! You beast! Enjoy 😊
Thank you Lily, I agree - it looks wicked 😀 Yep, no messing about here! 🚀
Really nice bike i must stay. congrats !
Thank you Hoff 😎
Nice new bike, enjoy it matey and stay safe.... 8-)
Thank you, that's the plan! 😀
What a machine! Lovely and great fun… Congratulations
Thak you, I'm so pleased with it 😀
I did see the photos on Instagram, but it sounds and looks amazing in this video. Fantastic choice, and you do sound and look pleased with it. Does your wife watch you videos, otherwise you might get a slap for the "I prefer the silence" comment 🤣. My wife has said the same though, that she wouldn't go on a motorbike with me either (when I pass my test), so maybe a 1-seater would suit me too, although I would prefer luggage options for commuting, since I use my wee 125 to commute each day.
Hey, she does sometimes but she wouldn't mind anyway - the banter goes both ways 🤣 She has zero interest on going on a bike, if my lad ever wants to join me I can get another cheaper bike that is suitable too. I quite fancy a cheap runaround for when the weather is not so good anyway so I can pamper this one!
Bob on Bobber
Damn right! 😀
Never saw that coming. It's gorgeous though, you'll draw some attention on it 😎
I like to surprise! Happy to talk about it to anyone so I hope so 😀
Excellent Tommy ,, many happy miles to come , well done mate ))
Thanks Mark, I'm ready for it 😀
Congrats matey, lovely looking machine, enjoy and be safe .
Thank you very much 🙂
looks like you have high beam on the lights.
That green light indicates that the DRL is on 👍
Outstanding mate! You'll find it MUCH easier to ride than the school bikes. May I suggest Hitchcox exhausts when the time comes 😉
Too true, it is a breeze to ride. I love it. Thanks for the suggestion, they are on my list of ones to look at when the time comes 👌
Nice bike Tommy the 125 will be a distant memory 🎉🎉enjoy brother
Thanks, what 125?! Just kidding, I grew really fond of that bike. Wish I had kept it, but selling it allowed me to get a brand new bike of my dreams with warranty etc so it had to go. I will miss the MPG I got out of it!
Amazing you bought that without test driving one. glad you like it though! I just tested one last week and felt mostly panic (mine was used, so maybe they did things to it, 2017 as well so only one front disc which didn't do much).
Yes, sadly living on an Island my options are limited with regards to test rides. The dealership only had this one in, unregistered so it was not available for test rides. I had sat on one previously at the MCN bike show so I knew it was a good riding position for me. I watched enough videos to know that they go alright so that was enough for me! Ah the 2017 model has a bigger front wheel which doesn't handle so well apparently. Did you decide a against a Bobber in the end then?
@@TwoWheelsTommy yeah I didn't realize they had changed so much in the more recent models so instead went with a Suzuki GSX-8R which I also liked. Just waiting for the license plate to show up so I can bring it home :)
@SamuelGoodwin Yes they made the fuel tank bigger, beefier forks, smaller front wheel and twin front Brembo's. I feel your pain, I've had to wait for the V5 to arrive before I can stick a private plate on it. That arrived today! The GSX-8R looks wicked, I bet you will absolutely love that thing 👌😍
@@TwoWheelsTommy I do! Very excited. I wish you a good 100k miles on yours man!
@SamuelGoodwin Thanks mate, you too 👊
Beautiful bike, fancied one myself but out of my price range and looks like too much polishing required, have to stick to my triple, best in black too, not a fan of the other colours, enjoy your new machine.
Edit, Actually that purple looks mint.
Thanks Lee. 'Too much polishing' - Love that 🤣 Your Street Triple sounds rad 😍🚀
Nice choice Tommy, been a long time coming, well done mate.
Thanks David, yeah the wait was not much fun!
Nice bike. Saw you on the Isle of Wight motorcyling page on the ryde meet wotsit. Subscribed. I live in Sandown. Watched your 125 pickup video. Great stuff. Just got meself another bike after 9 years. 650 daytona. Bit nuts.... and im nearly geriatric 😂
Hey Andy, thanks for the sub. Nice one, I was looking at the Daytona's in Dave Deaths when I was ordering my Bobber. What a bit of kit they are! Haha I do like a geriatric joke 🤣
Tommy, I watched this with joy! This is a great choice! Tbh I was expecting something a bit plasticky as with most new riders, but clearly you had other ideas! I don’t think you could have picked a sexier bike! You know what happens now don’t you? Prepare to be stopped and accosted by blokes wherever you go! There’s no going back now. 😂
Edit: regarding the gearbox going into neutral, it’s just the tightness of the brand new gearbox. Will loosen up over time. Also, these 1200 Bonnevilles are far better for a new rider than a 600. Regardless you’ll be flying in no time. And just wait till you hit sport mode. You won’t go back to rain, I can tell you that much 😂!
Glad to hear it! The second I saw one of these I wanted one. I'm glad I was able to make it happen. Good to hear about the neutral thing. Ha, I am keeping Road mode so I have something to look forward to someday. Do you have a Bobber? Does it make much difference between 'Rain' and 'Road' mode?
@@TwoWheelsTommyI had a Speedmaster so near identical bike save for the footpegs and handlebars. Put about 7k miles on it so got to know it quite well. And YES, there is a definite difference between rain and road mode! Throttle is much more sensitive for one. It’s a good idea to start off as you’re doing in rain mode but you’ll also be fine in road mode as the traction control is very clever on these bikes. Once I popped it into road mode, I didn’t put it back to rain at all. Happy riding and looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
@thepodbaydoorshal Ah yes basically the same bike then other than those bits. Road mode sounds like even more fun then! Ordered my first mod yesterday, so mods will start next month when I switch insurance to a mod friendly insurer, albeit making sure to keep the Triumph warranty intact 👍
Lovely bike, happy for ya
I really need to get my full licence but my nerves get the better of me in tests and self doubt sets in despite riding around on a cb125f for half a year I know I’m more than capable just can’t get past that block, also not keen on paying so much money to do it
It's not cheap, but when you get your full licence it will be worth it.
Thank you. It can be a bit like that, nerves and anxiety can effect anyone (including me). I think it is worth pointing out that the examiners want you to pass, they just want to see that you are safe. I know it is not easy but try not to overthink it. Just do what you've been doing and you'll be fine. I only paid for my DAS after I had passed my test so if you stretch it out a bit you can save whilst you do it. It is well worth it. Good luck 😎
@ronlysons6750 Ron is bang on 👍
@@TwoWheelsTommy I’m really confused with mod 1 mod 2 and DAS? Do I have to do them all or does DAS bypass mod1 and mod 2?
My colleague said mod1 and mod2 is cheap but when I look online it says full bike test is like £800
@metalscream3934 You can do MOD 1 and MOD 2 separately as you improve. The DAS is just a course you can do that includes the training and the MOD 1 and 2 tests. There is no way to bypass these. I reckon the £800 is the DAS which includes the test fees and training 👍
Congratulations Tommy, pleased for you. I hope it turns out to be a good one. My reliability experience with triumphs was dire. Lovely bikes though. The smaller front wheel makes it a much better handling bike.
Thanks mate, don't say that! Haha I did do a lot of research and if you go looking there are reliability stories no matter what you are looking at. Luckily these didn't seem too bad, and it is under warranty for a couple of years 👍
@@TwoWheelsTommy yes, warranty is key and they ar great bikes dynamically, but after a screen fail and 3 gearbox builds....... I went back to Suzuki. I think its a question of luck, if you get a bad one shit happens, but they are few
@gasman6163 Ah sounds like you had your fair share of trouble. Hope I have better luck. When I worked for Renault they were generally very reliable but there was always a few problem cars floating about that were always in and out of the workshop. Unless it was an Espace, they never left the workshop for more than 10 minutes 🤣
Congratulations lovely choice
I went straight to a ZZR1400 PS
Thanks Scott, you were not messing about there - fair play! 😍🚀😍
WOW! Tommy, you went straight for a 1200cc and a Bobber too 😮. Hats off to you and fair play 👏. It looks fantastic and great choice on the colour. Very envious 💜. I became aware of that bike about a month ago as it's currently featuring in the movie Spy: The Eternal City on Prime, if you haven't seen it. Anyways congratulations and ride safe 👍🙏
P.S. I took your advice and have my Mod 1 training and test in October 😅
Yeah, fully comitted! The colour is immense in the sun. Thanks for the heads-up, I did watch that a few weeks ago. Nice work, you're not far behind me then. Get a Bobber when you're done 🤣😀
Nice ! I wish you many happy hours in the saddle with your new steed :-)
Nice of you to say so, thanks 😀
Wow congrats Tommy, the bike suits you well
Thanks, I'll assume that is a compliment 🤣
Absolutely 😄
@chadclay1643 Worth checking 🤣
How you keep the jackets and other clothing dry and away from mould in that garage?
It is not actually a garage, it is my work unit. It just happens to have a garage door at either end. I am a printer so the whole space is humidity controlled with a dehumidifier. Dryest place in the UK! 😀
Congratulations. Amazing bike.
Thanks you Mark 👊
Many congrats. Nice bike, somehow I was wondering whether you would get a Triumph. Well done on choosing a low setting just to get used to it. Take it easy and enjoy.
Thanks Imran. I think Triumph are making some lovely bikes. I Best to ease into it, I'm not in a rush. I am looking forward to trying out the full power mode though 👍
My choice was a Honda CB500X 2014. I do like my Hondas! It was a bargain in August. £60 delivered by a really good seller. Its a really good time to buy coming off the end of Summer plenty of bikes for sale. Been on two long trips on it so far and love it! 😊
Nice one, interesting looking bikes. Seems like you are loving the big bike life 🙂
Awesome
Thanks mate 😎
Congratulations, nice bike :)
Thank you mate 👍
Heat wrap the exhaust 👍
I quite like that look but I have heard loads of stories of people removing the wrap after a while and the exhaust has disintegrated due to trapped moisture. We'll see what happens!
Nice bike and congratulations on getting it I will be going for my cbt next year I just want to lose weight and fell better before I take it something to look forward to
Thank you. Good luck with your CBT. I'm always losing weight, it is never ending! Weirdly, I'm sat here now replying to this whilst watching Sons of Anarchy 🤣
Fantastic mate. There's nothing better than new bike day.
I have a new one too but im the idiot who crashed his last bike and now recovering from pelvic surgery. I might be back on the road just in time for winter😂
Thanks mate, wicked what did you go for? Oh damn that doesn;t sound like much fun - mend soon! 💪
@@TwoWheelsTommy no It's not been great, 4 months and counting without walking.
I have a Kawasaki z900 to look forward to, so I am motivated 👍
@John-jw8rx Oooh, nasty stuff. I bet that is a proper carrot dangling in front of you. I bet you cannot wait 🙂
@@TwoWheelsTommy It's hell lol. I've had it since July 😬
@John-jw8rx Ouch - still, summer appears to have vanished so Xmas will come around just like that!
Great choice. I do love the look of the bobbers and considered getting one myself but I opted for a Harley instead 😊 maybe for my next bike 😉
Thank you. I bet you are loving your Harley 😀
Welll done dude! I had a bobber black…loved it! The sound she made going hard from 4th to 5th was epic 👌
Thank you. Lovely bikes, I look forward to riding it somewhere that it can be opened up. After the run in period of course!
@@TwoWheelsTommy honestly dude..if it wasn’t for a change of circumstances I’d have kept it. Won it for £2.50 so that’s the best part 👌
@HondaCBCL Wish this one cost me £2.50 🤣
@@TwoWheelsTommy 😂😂😂
@HondaCBCL Did you buy anything nice with the proceeds?
Tommy how come you when from 125 to 1200cc ..isn't that bit dangerous. Not working your way up kind of thing on engine size ,would you recommend to others to do the same ?
Loving the channel .... 10.10
Good question, simply as this was the bike I wanted and it happens to have a 1200cc engine. I didn't go for it because it had a big engine. I think even the Hornet 750 I rode on my test is faster and more powerful than my bike so power is not an issue. You only go as fast as you twist the throttle, but it is nice to have the power there if you want/need it. I'm using it in rain mode until the engine is run in (1000 miles) so I'm looking forward to the extra oomph when I switch that off 👍
I thought you'd go for a honda Cb 650 R
I did like that but I preferred riding the Hornet 750 actually. The Bobber is much more my style though 😎
Why didn't you show the beauty of the bike.
I did, about 10 minutes in 😁
Congratulations Tommy, thats a monster of a first big bike! I wouldnt have guessed a bobber. Hopefully you'll be immortalised on Streetview on your first ride out !
Thank you, yes it is a bit over the top 🤣 I shall be keeping a keen eye on Street View. Checked it twice already today but it can take ages to update!
Lovely bike, didn’t expect that, I thought you would have gone for a Honda similar to what you’d ridden or triumph 400 like you said. Bit of a curve ball, like you, I sat on a bobber and it felt so natural comfortable and easy.
Thanks, to be honest I was really taken with the Hornet 750 but I just love the style of the Bobber. It has such a comfy riding position. Did you get a Bobber yourself?
No, it’s out of my wife’s price range so I wasn’t allowed to get one 😢😂
@sagep6875 Rule number 1 - It is easier to ask for forgiveness, than permission 😁
Suppose I can sleep in the shed with it
@sagep6875 Sounds like a win win situation 😀
Great video tommy very nice bike.
Thank you Jonesy 👊
@@TwoWheelsTommy You're welcome tommy, the bike sounds like a monster cant wait to see how you make it your own
@jonesy4468 It sounds lush standard but they really come to life with an exhaust on it. Got all of the modifications to look forward to 😀
@@TwoWheelsTommy yup definitely I can't wait to see what you do 😀
@@TwoWheelsTommy Just passed my theory today so gonna book my tests soon 😁
argos, i havent heard that name in years.
🤣 I love Argos!
Congratulations. You went straight for a 1200cc. I went for a 650cc 😂
Yeah, yours is probably quicker 🤣🚀
Nice bike Tommy, enjoy. Far too heavy for me though. It's a big jump from a125cc to a 1200cc. I'm surprised you even managed to insure it. Was the insurance expensive?
Thank you. It is heavy but the lions share of the weight is low down so it is easy to handle. I'm not noticing much difference compared to my 125 to be honest. I swapped bikes on my current insurance, it was about £45 to change it, most of which was an admin fee. It is due for renewal next month so we'll see what quotes I get then. Either way, got no choice but to pay it!
@@TwoWheelsTommy The reason I ask Tommy is because a lad who works for me, he's twenty, been driving for two years and looking to do his CBT. Thing is, they want £3000 to insure a 125cc Suzuki. I would have thought not many insurers would want to insure someone who has only been riding 12 months and jumps on a 1200cc for a first bike after passing their test?
Either way, stay safe and enjoy the bike.
Ron
@ronlysons6750 I hear you. It really sucks at that age no matter how careful you are. I know it is hard to believe (🤣) but I am in my mid 40's, been driving for 25 years, and never had any points or anything. To add to that the Bobber isn't typically a bike that people would generally go for if they wanted to race around everywhere and ride recklessly so statistically it is likely not that much of a risk to insurers. It helps living on an island too, next to zero vehicle theft here 👍
First :) And congrats will watch this with a nice coffee
Thanks, enjoy your coffee! 👌
@@TwoWheelsTommy You cracked me up a couple of times in that. Wasn't expecting to hear batty crease from you at any point in time ever :)
Then came the "Thought that was Jimmy Saville" Few moments of gold in there haha
@shutinyanks Haha glad you found it amusing! What a weird outfit that bloke had on, maybe it was fancy dress 🤣 I actually had lunch with Jimmy Saville in 2001 backstage at a Radio 1 event (Leeds Love Parade). He was a massive idiot!
So, we can blame *you* for the dire weather we are having in the south of England!
🤣 I'm afraid so. On the other hand, when I sold my old bike the weather was nice for 3 weeks so you can't really complain 😀
