“Who needs food anyway?” Too right chum! Great start to the channel. I’ll also be looking at a Triumph, (probably a Speedmaster as may want to take passengers and also have a functioning spine) when I have some experience and I will say that the Bobber is definitely best looking by far and in that livery too. Their size is good for me too as I’m the same dimensions as yourself. Just need to pass now…
I loved the look of the first bobber.. then was so tempted to buy the bobber black when that came out.. I held off because of the small tank size.. then when they bought the new model out and addressed the tank I couldn’t believe my luck.. but was also a little disappointed by the lack of black option.. and I’m the same height so the seat height on this is also more appealing than my z1000… everytime you made a comment I had to think back to work out if I’d actually made this video.. then I remember I havnt actually bought one yet.
A year or so on, do you still have the bobber? Like it or not? I recently swapped my Z900RS for a 2022 bobber. The only negative for me, suspension, I changed the rear for a Fox and have it in the softest rebound, changed the seat for triumphs comfort seat, and if going any distance I add a seat cushion. Coming from a 4 cylinder Kawasaki I was surprised at the vibration of a 2 cylinder 170 degree engine, but have grown to love it. The engine does give off heat, I put that down to the radiator fins doing a good job assisting the liquid cooling. Looks wise I wouldn’t change anything, for me it’s perfect as factory. The exhaust tone is musical, perfect. It’s performance is geared to real world usage, it’s happy at any legal speed and has the torque to overtake with ease. The best thing I can say about it is, whenever I ride it I smile, or laugh out loud!
