I took one for a test ride, and could not stop thinking about it. Was not in the market for a new bike, so tried to just forget about it. But then a week later had my bike in for a service, and took another ride on the Bobber, and ... bought it. No regrets, such an awesome bike. :)
I bought my Bobber one week ago. I’m 5’8” with exceptionally short legs so the Bobber a good fit but I’m going to add Motone risers. Riding was fine around town but when I got on a higher sped road the suspension harshness was revealed. I weigh 155 and the rear shock does almost nothing at higher speeds. I’ve ordered a springer seat tailored for my weight. Still the most beautiful bike I know of.
i love mine, and you were partially responsible for pushing me over the edge. i’m 6 foot. the only thing is i think i look massive on it. i ram a poll on the fb site asking how tall owners were and most were around 5.8. shrug. it doesn’t feel small when riding it though. and that 3rd gear is so good. could use better suspension but… she’s so pretty. i’ve done nearly 3 thousand miles on her in first 6 months. my first bike. i’m 53. lovely ride out to southwold from cambridge on all the B roads last hot weekend. all good. great video as usual. (
I am 5. foot 5 inch currently own a 2018 Kawasaki Zed 900 naked and a 2023 Harley Soft tail standard with low drag bars. I have been looking at the Triumph bobber... sat on one and it feels so perfect... right in between both of my bikes. I may be puchasing one soon very soon. if I can make room in the barn I think I would have bought her already. thanks for sharing your experience on the beautitful machine. I have not been around a British bike since my first bike when I was 15 years old. it was a 1967 650 BSA Hornet, I still remember the wentworth tools I needed to wrench on her, Stay in the wind.👍👍👍
I haven't ridden the Bobber but I have sat on one and, as a short person, I can tell you I found it instantly uncomfortable. The bars are far too low and I end up leaning forward with my arms at pretty much full stretch. I would have to have taller bars and probably pulled back slightly. I find the T120 supremely comfortable and have no issues at all with all day or even multiple days riding it is one of the most comfortable bikes I've ever ridden.
@@Adam-mo2qw I wouldn't think you'd have too much trouble with a T120 as far as you legs are concerned but if you have short arms aswel you might find the bars a stretch (maybe) but pull back risers should sort that for you. I'd say get to your local Triumph dealer and have a sit on one.
@@Grumpy-Goblin thanks, upper body and arms won't be an issue. It's the legs lol. As I say most shorties have legs and inch or two longer. There's a dealer in my town so will take a look
This video, I have watched all the way through and I concur pretty much fully with all the points you make. I've now ridden the Bobber twice, once in its original incarnation and once earlier this year and it's currently neck and neck with the Rebel1100T in my affections. Both have excellent engines, handle and fit me well. The Triumph has the Charisma, but the Honda has the amazing DCT transmission. My Rebel review is out tomorrow at 6pm (hint hint) and I shall probably follow up with a comparison video of the two. Oh and I met Hippo-Drones and Phil480 today too. Hurrah!
Like you I am 6'2", I like the low seat height and the slight lean forward to the bars. However due to arthritis in my knees I went with the floorboards and heel/toe shift lever, which I absolutely love. The low down torque gives it an excellent ability to briskly accelerate when required, whilst being easy to ride at a gentle cruising pace too. The handling is surprising, far more nimble than one would expect with it's fat 16" wheels, though I do find the short travel suspension will occasionally bottom out on pot holed roads.
A handsome bike from the rear , very vintage looking with it's commodious seat . It would look even better with a narrow front tyre and an 8" headlight . Swept back bars would reduce the straining . I have heard that the short suspension travel bottoms out quite easily . Maybe just a flaulent rumour . Perhaps this is a petarade foisted upon us by other reviewers who don't know their *rse from their elbow . I am sure that Uncle Stu , who , advanced of years , uses his bobber more frequently than your youthful self . I was worried that you wouldn't like this bike , it is quite a relief to know that you concentrated on the job and passed it with easily with flying colours . I suggest an additional colour , a resplendent khazi , the " Thomas Crapper Limited Edition ". I would feel flushed with pride , if I rode one . That's enough for now , I must go .
I wouldn’t have thought that bike would handle or be comfortable so I’m surprised at how you found it , it just shows you can’t go by looks or pr-conceived ideas 👍🏍
Did a test ride on one of those a few weeks back and loved it, handled way better than expected and it felt surprisingly comfortable too. Been testing quite a lot of different bikes lately but do have to say that the Bobber is at a top position at this point. And if I buy one I definitely will not give it to “her” again…. like I did with the T100🤣🤣🤣
@@robertboomsema4422 oh Robert, I think we both know that if the fancy takes her, there will be no giving involved.😂😂 you will wake up one morning and both Lilian and the bobber will be gone😂😂 at least until dark 😁
I've not ridden the Bobber either, but sat on one at Motorcycle Live last year. It fits me, but would benefit from having the bars from the Speedmaster on it due to my short reach. Nice series of overtakes there Mr TAYM 👌
Yes, if you are shorter and the seat and bars need to be adjusted. Triumph makes 1-inch up and 1-inch back set of raisers that help. They also have a slightly larger padded seat that moves the rider a bit forward. I'm considering the forward controls as well.
That does sound wonderful 😁 I wonder if they do one🤔 if not I think it could be a special 😁 through on some baggy panniers in brown canvas too 😁 thanks JL 😁
Nice clip Taym, bike suits you. Like the proper footpeg placement but it needs buck bars or small ape hangers, or better still, the bars off a Speedmaster, would give you the upright riding position without the reach to the bars. Don`t know why more dealers don`t have an in shop facility to customise these things new, to buyers satisfaction before they leave the shop, "Bespoke Spokes", or "Andys Andlebars" perhaps? Last one I did with the pull-back bars was a Yammie 600N fantastic comfort - all day riding.
I am only a quarter of the way into the video, but I wanted to say, it's a beautiful bike, but does it have anywhere you could attach luggage? Perhaps that's not what it for. Back to the video now. 👍👍
Awesome review. I really like my Bobber. Only thing I do not like is the smallish fuel tank and if you hit one of them invisible pot holes in the road. They are also a bit on the heavy side for their size. Other then that great for a cruise. Would never sell mine.
I am a shorter rider ( 5'7") 30 " inseem and despite this I couldn't 'get on ' with the Bobber riding position and much prefer the Speedtwin (which I bought). I note that none of your modern classic bikes have fairings and you've commented that the single clock on the Bobber and Speedtwin seems to deflect air. I had considered fitting a screen to my Speedtwin for long trips but wondered whether it was worth considering, what are your thoughts please? Thankyou for your constant stream of excellent videos!
Thanks SW 😁 I find screens to be funny things 😁 They don’t all do the same thing. Sometimes they seem to make too much buffeting and noise 🤔 design rather than size appears to dictate their effectiveness 😁 sorry not much help 😕 hopefully others will have an opinion 😁 i will have a mutter about it 😁
I'm of the same opinion as TAYM regarding screens, their shape is as if not more important than their height unless your talking about full size cruiser/tourer type screens. I've fitted taller touring screens to three bikes, a Yamaha FZ1-S, a Kawasaki ZZR 1400 and a KTM 890 Adventure R. The FZ1-S OEM screen was dreadful for head buffeting, fitting a taller screen lifted the wind to the top of my helmet. Wind noise past my ears was still an issue but the buffeting stopped. The ZZR had the double bubble screen but as I'm tall I couldn't crouch and tuck behind it. A Zero Gravity touring screen lifted the deflected wind from around my shoulders to the top of my head but at higher speeds it would drown out my mic in the chin of my helmet. The KTM came with the short off road screen, I fitted the taller S model screen mounted on a Puig adjustable screen mount. This proved ideal as there's 130mm of height adjustment and as well as being able to be locked in any position, the screen will raise itself the faster you go if left unlocked. I guess what I'm saying is there are Pros and cons, no screen means a broad band of less troublesome wind. A short screen will cause higher wind around the shoulders which may cause buffeting. A taller screen will raise the wind to the top of your helmet or over depending on your height but at higher speeds will be loud around the ears. Only a full sized Touring/Cruiser screen like I had on my Vulcan 1600 Classic Tourer will place you in a calm bubble.
Cons bike is designed for short rides Stock seat, suspension and shock is something that you would want to upgrade right away , legs position is uncomfortable after. 1 to 2 hours riding Pros. The look, low gravity gives you the sensation of a super light bike, torque and handling is amazing ,…. In conclusion if you used it for long rides over 200 miles i recommend that every time you fill your tank which is every 110 130 miles just rest your legs by having a walk and you will be ok is a beautiful bike I understand the bad comments here but like I always say there bikes for different purposes, definitely this is the best bobber of the market
Nice example by Triumph I would however want to own the Speed Twin 1200 rather than this one without doubt but nice one TAYM but good review of this bike though 👌👍
Bad overtake opposite that junction at 6.08 u naughty boy biker. Giraffe was watching u over the hedge😂😂😂. No criticism really. I overtake sometimes and find myself in that position a junction appears from nowhere. Any signs hidden by overgrown hedgerows. One triumph I don’t like much. More aesthetics and image purchase? Love your enthusiasm for all bikes. Looks a pig to clean too
😞😁 yes, it rained all the time I had it, very low for a tall person. I would definitely need a hydraulic ramp if I owned one for maintenance and cleaning 😁 or a new back 😁 thanks V 😁
I see new Harley Davidson x350 & x500 are coming to NZ 🇳🇿 & Ausie & are Parallel twin 360° crank.The x500 actually looks good in orange 🍊 too & loaded with features like Adjustable upside down forks for preload & rear shock preload,Dampening Compression.Dual 4pot front brakes.47hp @ 8000rpm 46Nm @ 6000rpm & 80% of torque at 3750rpm.160/17 rear 120/17 front.208kg wet. Chain drive. Pity it wasn't a 270° crank but it uses the Benelli Leocino 500engine but more style & metal tank,fenders.2k more than Leocino but less plastic that's 800-$1000 & $1000 for the HD badge 😁😆😂🤣.
My flatmate thinking of getting Learners license & LAMS bike & likes the look of Orange 🍊 Harley Davidson x500 & it has got suspension,brakes, HP,Nm.HE also likes the Super Meteor that looks better & both same price but Harley got more features.Triumph Tiger 🐅 660 is another but is 3.5k more. The Bobber with Motone up & overs & panniers & it a winner Triumphs are fantastic bikes & fit & finish is great even on my Trident 🔱 & it just gets better from there.Lets hope the Triumph 400 keeps up the high standard as best they can for price.Triumph 400 is 37Nm & 40hp so down on Harley x500 which no good for my mate HE'S to big for Triumph 400 the HD x500 is 47hp 46Nm & got 820mm seat height good for HIM.Super Meteor he'll fit but if HD x500 got 16000km valve adjustment might be a factor.
@@TAYM Speedmaster is more popular being more capable to travel further.Only thing that these Triumphs need is a 13.5-14L tank they do have quite a few bikes with 12L tanks Street Twin,Speedmaster, Bobber.Considering you leave 2L in tank at fill up only leaves you 10L which would be 200km max range cruising less going hard out 190km. I guess being a 12L tank you can afford go lower so about 1.5L minium left in tank at fill up any lower risk grit etc getting into fuel system.Also most bikes you can squeeze a extra 400-500mls filling straddling level bike & Triumph manual will tell you this.All Trident 🔱 reviews say 14L but in manual says that on side stand but level when you straddle bike get 14.4L upto just below filler neck.I usually just fill in side stand but notice about 20km later first bar goes away as when I fill straddling bike get a out 30km before first bar goes away then about 21km per L average of 4.7-5L per 100km depending on how you riding.

Bobber.Considering you leave 2L in tank at fill up only leaves you 10L which would be 200km max range cruising less going hard out 190km.
I guess being a 12L tank you can afford go lower so about 1.5L minium left in tank at fill up any lower risk grit etc getting into fuel system.Also most bikes you can squeeze a extra 400-500mls filling straddling level bike & Triumph manual will tell you this.All Trident 🔱 reviews say 14L but in manual says that on side stand but level
when you straddle bike get 14.4L upto just below filler neck.I usually just fill in side stand but notice about 20km later first bar goes away as when I fill straddling bike get a out 30km before first bar goes away then about 21km per L average of 4.7-5L per 100km depending on how you riding.
Nowhere for luggage
I think you can get a rack and panniers 🤔 thanks AD 😁
Dodgy overtaking on them roads especially when there's a junction on the right.
Yes, the GoPro makes it look worse than it actually was though 😁 thanks S 😁
