    I have a 2018 model and - to gently correct you - if you gun it, you do have to hang on a bit. But I know what you mean, it's not a ferocious sports bike and not trying to be.
    I think you have to have the right mindset/attitude when you get on, to fully enjoy this gorgeous-looking cruiser.
    My Tiger 900 GT Pro is for different riding....
    Glad you did the walk-around after seeing you on it at the DGR.

    By the way, you rocked the look and still kept it wonderfully feminine.
    You really nail all aspects walk-around, riding, travel, events and family. Fan for life here

      @@paulyflyer8154 I've only just done 600 miles so it needs its first running in service but so far so good. The only thing I have encountered is when the engine is hot it sometimes stalls as you go to pull away. I am hoping they will be able to address this during the service. I suspect it is due to Euro 5 regs and running the engine lean. Apart from that it seems to be perfect.

    Hi Kate as a lad of the 50s / and 60s it's a blast from the past so many bike manufacturers are doing the retro thing, I do love them, but at Thirteen years old in 1969 it was the up and coming Japanese machines I dreamt of. The funny thing is I've gone from sports bikes to hyperbikes, and my last three bikes have been the mighty GS's, but those retro machines do have an appeal, thanks' for the review Kate...

    Once more a very nice and gentle video of a marvelous cruiser bike. It’s not my cup of tea in terms of preferences in what concerns to this glorious machines on two wheels, just because the body position on this type of bike is too laidback for my taste. Despite the fact that I ride tested a Yamaha TMAX and could enjoy the comfort, but that’s the maximum relaxed position that I can stand riding a bike.
    I love that 1200 Triumph engine and my bike of choice from the Bonneville family would be the T120 and of course the Thruxton. They are really good and premium bikes. Ride safe! ✌️✌️

    Those boots had me at “Hello” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I wish they made this about 30% bigger with front fairing and matching hard bags. Triumph needs a full time, full size cruiser especially for the North American market.

      As the owner of a Thunderbird 1600 I agree. Updated with hard locking panniers, a narrower rear tire and a better suspension from the factory. I fitted Hagon rear shocks on mine and they transformed the handling, much improved.

      @@chrishart8548 Yes I did. I think many manufacturers opt for the base suspension except for their premium models in order to position their mainstream models at a competitive price point. Understandably so. What I fail to grasp is how so many buyers can shell out their dollars for a so called premium product and then have to spend more to upgrade the suspension and engine in order to make their machine what it should have been when it rolled off the showroom floor. I’m not speaking of Triumph either. We all know the elephant in the room. Sadly some manufacturers seek to emulate that strategy. Frankly, I’d rather spend a few more dollars up front and have competent machine that I can take pride in.

    This bike looks awesome in pictures and seriously considered getting one myself but... i agree with her when she said it was tiny for a 1200cc, i mean i can understand why japanese bikes are small being built for little people but for triumph to make tiny bikes for the european market is just weird! Even the 2019 generation of triumph rocket 3's look like a toy compared to the old gen ones. Tiny bikes with big engines SUCK!
