Just bought the bobber 2023 model, super fantastic bike. I am 6ft 2in - put the seat back as far as you can. Ride it sensible and it’s great. No scraping pegs..❤
I am also 6'2", and a bit arthritic in my knees, so I had the footboards with heel/toe gear shift installed. This has proved pretty comfortable, so I haven't experimented with moving the seat back.
Hi steve i guess you have put the boards on the middle peg settings, if you’re happy and comfortable nice one mate 👍 if you put the seat back it might give you 2inch?. Ride safe my friend. Keep the faith.✌️
sat on one the other day... love it maybe more than my 2023 Harley soft tail standard which was the only harley I had cash for. I am making space in the stable because that bobber is a keeper. it would be a 35d bike in the stable, also have a 2018 Kawasaki Zed 900 naked that is my solid go-to ride. I may be crazy is 3 rides to many? thanks for the share.
I absolutely love my 2021 Bobber, but I don't like the cruise control, nothing wrong with the bike, it's just that I am so 'old school' it unnerves me when the bike has control of the throttle, even for a moment.
I am 5'9" and it fits me fine. I owned a 67 T100R in 1970 and rode it for 5 years. I then moved up to a 1948 Panhead Chopper that I rode for 40+ years. I'm now back to Triumphs and ridding a 2018 Bobber. Some people see it and think it is a very old Triumph and are surprised to learn it is a 2018. I'm 75 now and this bike is everything I could want.
Despite it being a big engine the power is very manageable. The weight sits quite low as well so it’s very easy to handle. No reason it can’t be your first bike.
I bought a 2023 bobber last week. It had been 6 years since i sold my old bike. I am so happy with this powerful yet manageable beauty. In every way. I commute to work with it and i live in a rural area so i get to enjoy the countryside as well :) I’m in love!! Thanks for the review. I agree with your take and will get the saddle bags asap. Cheers!
I just bought one. 2021 model wit h 500KMS on the clock. Had a 21K custom mod done and then unridden. British custom pipes. Bar end indicators. Custom everything. Looks, rides and sounds amazing. And yea… for me it’s a toy…😅
After decades of riding big twin HD. I have lost my mind over this motorcycle. Triumph created this motorcycle right. Can't get to the local Triumph dealer quick enough. Lmao
Got mine in 2019, and I'm still in love with it.
Ok I'm sold...I was looking at getting the Indian scout but I just can't get this bike out of my mind so thank you for this review...happy riding..
Amazing! Thanks, Tony - you'll love the bike. Congratulations in advance for the purchase!
I also had an Indian Scout under consideration, but swung in favour of the Bobber with it's twin front discs and low down torque.
I have a 2022 Iron Stone. Every time I ride it I love it more.
It’s simply a joy to ride. If anyone is thinking of getting one I say 100% do.
Amazing colour scheme. Everyone needs to try a bobber to understand the true joy in riding them!
How much it's cost

Congratulations! We wish you many happy miles of motoring!
I don't want to ride it sensible.

Great review! I'm hoping to pick up my 2024 Triumph Bobber Stealth Edition this week! Shopping for accessories now!
That's fantastic! Congratulations!
I have the 2023 iron stone. High bars and the same bags he has. You're going to love it! Such a fun ride..
What a beautiful bike. I’m looking to get back in the saddle again. I think this may be top of my list!
i just picked up a 2022 Bobber in Cordovan Red, it’s beautiful! it’s my first bike so i’ll be learning on it
I may become a biker soon at 58, I fancy a bobber. Are you finding it okay to handle or is it too much?
@@strangedeanDefinitely Not!! I highly recommend it for starting out, it’s been very easy to manage for me.
it might also be your last bike 😊

Remember, nobody ever sat on their death bed wishing they had owned fewer motorcycles. 😉
😃👍👍👍@@driven.videos
I say, own as many as you can comfortably afford. 😁
I just bought one three weeks ago and love it.
By the way, it’s my eighth bike and happy to have all of them but the bobber is special.
@@St.Swithunagree.. after 15 years driving big vtwin bikes, this bobber is a revelation. stunning, beautifull bike!!
I have a 2018 model. Wish the gas tank was a little bigger and had more mod options. NEVER getting rid of it!
I absolutely love my 2021 Bobber, but I don't like the cruise control, nothing wrong with the bike, it's just that I am so 'old school' it unnerves me when the bike has control of the throttle, even for a moment.
If I may suggest to you, don't use it! 😉
lol
After having a few bikes with cc, I’ll not have another without. Such a blessing on extended highway trips.
How did you find the mid pegs for comfort...would the forward pegs be better you think?
No complaints from me. I'm 6'1 (185cm) and it was pretty comfortable even with big boots on. - John

I wanna buy this bike as my first, would that be OK for a beginner?

@@jak2828 thank you, I ended up buying a 2024 Yamaha XSR700 Black Raven, a cafe racer style bike. It's a really nice bike. Ride safe brother. 👍🏽

Can you hit the twisty roads going 50/60 with a good lean?
MPH ☝️
@@ShaMuhmma if you’re brave enough yes! But be prepared to scrape those foot pegs! 😅 - John
@@driven.videoshaha bet, Thornton hundred peg risers it is
Nice Review. I’m waiting for mine to arrive next week. What helmet are you wearing in the video
Awesome! Congratulations, you're going to love it! John's Helmet is a HJC V60
A great watch 👍 🏍
Thanks, Simon!

i had a 1600 wildstar for 15 years ... great bike! ..
but this bike is awesome!!
bought me the 2017 model with the bigger front wheel
What gloves are you wearing?
Hi Rod, they're from Fuel. - John
Great
Thanks, how tall are you (the rider) ?
John is 6'1 / 185cm
So it IS the perfect bike for me … now I only have to find the money 😅
Waiting for the £1000 off offer to come back on again, either that or talk the dealer down a grand.
Just bought a brand new stealth for under 12.
How tall are you?
HI Brandon, I'm 6'1 (on a good day) 😄
Led lights and mirrors come as standard on this bike.
good intel!
I like the Bobber, but it seems excessively heavy - its dry weight is more than that of the Triumph Tiger 1200 adventure bike!
yes sure, no plastics
Que. Esto ?.
:)
That jacket 💀🤡
Looks more like an armoured undergarment designed so you can wear non armoured clothing over the top.
One of the most verbose reviews I have ever watched. So many words used to say so little.
So, you liked it then? Regardless - thanks for watching and commenting.
GFYs.
11% interest charge!? WTF!?😮
