    When I pressed sport mode on my bullet I was suddenly sat at a cricket match. Technology is amazing 👍🏻

    At 6'4", I love my '23 XE. I did however just order a set of SW-Motech adjustable pegs to lower them just a little. Not that it really needed it, but we'll see. The heat from the OEM pipe was hot and uncomfortable to the point of a deal breaker on the bike. I swapped out for an Arrow slip on and it eliminated the heat on the leg almost completely. There are some other exhaust options out there, but I didn't want an obnoxiously loud bike. I am loving this bike 100%!

    This looks like a great bike and I’d really like a test ride but the three times that I’ve been in my local Triumph dealer I don’t even get a “hello” from anyone in there, which doesn’t make me feel like spending money with them.

      @@TAYM I wanted to give them a chance. I did send them an email to point it out and was told that if I made an appointment, someone would look after me. I don’t want the red carpet treatment, I just want someone to say “hello” as I walk through the door or walking around the showroom. I went into another dealership and was spoken to nicely, shown where the coffee machine was and told that if I wanted to chat further, where to find them.

    if you want to stay off the main roads it's a cracking bike,done the picos on it this year and it was perfect.the mrs came up to the north york moors for a day and was perfectly happy with the ride and the exhaust but i did have a TEC flank pipe on which really does keep the heat down so if you can handle the height it's brilliant

    I have one as my commuter bike and I think it's great. The tall position is commanding in traffic, even non-riders appear to love the styling and the power is solid throughout the gearing.
    The heat production from the exhaust is ok, filtering is easy and it feels light (but my main bike is an R18).

    Hi Taym, i know I always bang on about it but imo the cockpit view is pants. Whereas your T100 is sublime. Many people are of this opinion it seems probably all old fogeys like me. I remember I. The early 70s I went from FS1E to a suzuki gt250 with twin clocks and a rev counter the bees knees😂 and some poke. All my shed cars minis, vauxhall ha vivas etc I put a rev counter in them all. Looking back I don’t know why😂 but I still like that arrangement on motorcycles. Nothing like bouncing of the red in everything really. Oh and a go faster small steering wheel and flash gear,nob😂

    • @TAYM
      @TAYM  Месяц назад

      Thanks Volt 😁 yes, yes, yes definitely at least two round clocks 😁 🤔 was it the viva that had a sliding Speedo, if you know what I mean, one that went across the dash 😁 I guess we must have been born like it 😂😂

      @@TAYMno that was my austin 1100 and my dads 1800. Like a red ribbon sliding across the dash. The viva was a two clocks speedo and fuel and temp. I pit aftermarket rev counters on the dash taught by my dad who owned a garage repair/recovery business. That tape speedo was even worse than these new horrible mcycle dashes

    Hi'ya TAYM it looks nice and looking at it makes me wonder why Triumph doesn't put similar tubeless spoked wheels on the Bonnevilles 🤔. Alas not really my thang these off roader type bikes although probably a good option should one need to ride in all conditions and through winter but I would probably go for a 400 cc for that .👌👍
