Great review. Thanks for the ride. Being a shorter rider I love cruisers and bobbers. I’ve a Rebel 500 at the moment which is also firm so I’m used to it. This bobber is gorgeous and my dream bike. Think I’d want a rack fitted on the back for some storage. Always look forward to your videos.
I upgraded the rear suspension to the Fox shock from the outset. So I can not compare it to the original, but can say it will still bottom out on bad surfaces because the travel is still short, and I am a heavy rider.
You are correct about replacing the non-adjustable mono-shock, especially for heavier riders! 12L tank will get you 255 km down the road(max)>. The damn fuel light illuminates at 150 km and two (of 8) bars remaining.
I love my T120 and as you say you cannot park them anywhere without someone asking about them. I have been asked so many times if I've restored it and heard so many stories about back in the days of the 650 and 750 Bonnies. I could be quite tempted with a Bobber I love the style but I like touring so the T120 was a better choice for me at the time but I've since bought a GS so maybe a Bobber might work for me now but I think I'd want higher bars on it I have sat on one and I'd like a bit more upright position I think. Maybe I'll have to book a test ride.
Really nice bike 👍 my first video I saw on your channel was the “gs from a sport biker’s perspective” . That was interesting for me because I am in that situation. But a haven’t seen any more of the gs, have you switched bike? Best Daniel from Sweden
Hehehe, when you said you were getting a vibration in your nuts at a certain speed, I was half expecting you to say you were driving everywhere at that speed! LOL! 🤣😂 It's a lovely bike btw!
Well done- great review on a bloody great bike
Thank you glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed, still got the GS Daniel just ride it very little now
Your audio capture on this is great. What setup you using?
Cheers Dom, using a Purple panda mic inside the helmet linked to a GoPro Hero 5 Black on the bike and a Rode 2 when talking to camera :)
COC customs springer seat works best

Haha #numbnuts lol
That seat looks very odd - as does the whole back of the bike.
It looks magic lol
@@simotofoto I beg to differ.
Its surprisingly not uncomfortable and it does look cool
@@domsbits3922 It looks like a tractor or a plough with that odd tacked-on seat hanging off the back. Hardly cool.
