Triumph Bobber Gold Line Review. Is this the COOLEST motorcycle money can buy? THE Modern Classic?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2022
- We review the 2022 Triumph Bobber Gold Line Limited Edition modern classic motorbike to see just how good it is.
Is it the coolest bike money can buy? What do YOU think?
We put it through it's paces on all roads, from motorways, to town streets, to country lanes to find out!
We look at the handling, cornering, suspension, brakes, seat, ergonomics, the 1200 cc engine, gears, sound, styling and more!
We also make a few suggestions on how we think it could be further improved.
The Ol' Man also stops off at a few places and can't believe his eyes at a 'Health And Safety `sign!' in a graveyard, which he reads out! And he rides through Llangollen then on to some spectacular country roads! Also there is a last minute booking at our Holiday Let in North Wales so the Ol Man gives you all a sneak preview! If you fancy a self-catering farm stay which is ideal for countryside lovers, families, walkers, motorcyclists and cyclists, have a look on our website:
theoldebarn.jimdosite.com/
Also, we move the sheep and donkeys. Yes, it all happens in this video!

Ol’ Man, what an excellent review. I bought a 2023 Triumph Bobber because of this review! Keep up the good work!
Thanks buddy. Awesome 👍🏼👍🏼
this bike is arguably the coolest in all of the bonneville's line up especially with that gold line edition. The trade off is it's highly impractical - no pillion, storage is fairly limited, I also hear it's uncomfortable in the long run because of the seat. Having said that i'd still get it, it's the ultimate selfish man's bike.
Yea it’s very cool 💯
It’s a problem easily solved! Buy a Speedmaster, put the optional mid-foot controls and the optional flat bar on it. Et Voila ! You have a Bobber Black with pillion and luggage capability.
@@marktafft7025still doesn’t look the same. It just doesn’t ..I can tell
Not arguably… it’s definitely the coolest stock bike…in the world
Coolest yes !!
Great to ride n cruise…
Hands down, the BEST motorcycle reviewer on RUclips/ Greetings from Greece
Wow, thanks!
Man I love that garage. You sir, are living the dream. At 6’6” myself, your channel is set aside from the rest for us big guys as we can relate. Thank you, and keep on reviewing!
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Now we all know what u are doing when you are not dealing with motorcycle, u are helping around the farm , good working man helping the wife.
What a beautiful farm and holiday let room you have there! Lovely views of the gorgeous surroundings and the farm animals! Loved it!
Thanks very much indeed 👍🏼👍🏼
What a fantastic review, sir.
I stumbled across the triumph, bobber by pure accident, and in doing so have been watching, and reading reviews over the last week.
I thoroughly enjoyed everything you had to say, and got lost in your video.
Keep up the good work .
Thanks very much indeed 👍🏼👍🏼
2:56 the voice changes to the real original voice briefly. Fantastic video. I bought my 2022 Triumph Bobber regular edition, Cordovan Red color and just love it. Another dealer had the Goldline, but, it looked too bright and flashy for my taste. But, I agree that the Goldline has a bit of more torque and accessories and hand-paint job, that makes it unique.
Had a bobber at work, boss’s motorcycle which he never rode. Every evening to the tea shop and back, was literally riding on a wave of torque .. And I am happy that’s all I did with it and not take it any longer. Loved the engine, tbh it handled way better than what I was expecting and after a few more rides, I was seriously pushing the machine..Once you get used to it, that torque is addictive..
Yes absolutely. Have you ridden a Harley 114 or 117 or BMW R18? The touque is double at 2000rpm!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan never had the opportunity to ride any of those. The BMW R18 is something I am actually looking forward to take it out for a nice ride. Envy you Ol’man ..
Two of the things I like on this channel is the laid-back vibe and the locations. Your reviews are always nicely detailed and I think they are also excellent from the "daily rider´s point of view". Cheers from Brazil.
Thanks very much 👍🏼👍🏼
Would love to see the SpeedMaster in this color
Yes that would be nice
Always been a Harley man myself but that Triumph is gorgeous and I’d love one in my garage.
Great video again mucka ,, keep em coming!
Thanks buddy. Yes they’re very different to the Harleys 👍🏼
Thank you! Your review actually made me buy one of these. It took a while finding a goldline in germany, they seem to be pretty rare, but just two weeks ago eventually I got lucky and found one in perfect condition with only ~2100 kilometers yet. Mine got the triumph beach bars installed which are the perfect fit for me, and provides an even more classy look imo.
Such a beautiful bike, bit of a dream bike really.
I am really enjoying your reviews, such an amazing environment to ride in.
Also great to hear a taller riders perspective on it!
Great video this one, including the insight into your beautiful property and animals!
Isn’t it. Thanks very much indeed 👍🏼👍🏼
Man you guys do such a great job on these bike reviews! Plus, where you live/film is so beautiful I always look forward to your uploads. The bobber is literally a work of art. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks very much indeed 👍🏼👍🏼
Great review, I just a week ago purchased a 2022 triumph t120 black . I absolutely love it. Your review on the bonnevelle made the decision for me , so I thank you for that. And I just received my first t-shirt from your web site. Your videos are my favorite thing to watch hands down. Keep up the great work. Cheers fella’s
Thanks mate! That’s great to hear. Very nice bike 💯
My dream bike. I'm 6'1 with long legs compared to my torso so I normally feel weird on a lot of bikes but this one feels so good... saving to get myself one
I don't know what more stunning the farm countryside or that Bobber.EXCELENT SOUND man.God bless u man.Ron from East Los Angeles.Calif..
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
Loved the video...the editting at the start as you took bike out of shed was great. A lot of effort that really looked well.... loved the laid back chat of the video and the bike was stunning. Love the bit of farming and real life snap at the end...keep up the great work
Thanks very much 👍🏼👍🏼
Great review. I’d read some reviews saying that 6ft riders felt the Bobber was too small but seems to work well for you 👍🏼
I took delivery of a Goldline Speedmaster a couple of weeks ago, but with straight bars and mid foot controls, so effectively a Bobber with a comfy seat and a pillion. Absolutely love the bike! Can’t think of another bike that I’d rather have.
Awesome!! 👍🏼
I don’t even ride and I love this channel…It’s so relaxing and informative about bikes and the culture
Thanks very much! 👍🏼👍🏼
Lovely bike and a lovely review as well. I just bought one of those a few weeks ago and am now waiting for its delivery. I was already sold on the looks of it and after the test ride I knew, I NEED THIS :D
Great news! Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
I never knew you could have forward controls on this bike. This has definitely caught my attention now. This gold line edition will definitely hold value in the long run. My garage needs one. Great video...
Yes indeed 👍🏼👍🏼
Great review mate! I just sold mine. Absolutely gorgeous looking bike. But with 190cm and 115-120 kilograms it was just to small for me. Whenever I could see myself in a store window because of the reflection I thought, awesome motorcycle but I look like a circus bear on a tricycle. Now I switched over to a Triumph Rocket Roadster :) This now feels much more comfortable for my height and weight. If the Bobber were available in an XL version, I would never give it away. Great bike but small...
Wow now you got me wanting a bike again!
Haha stop watching ❤️
As your pitch got higher, I actually laughed out loud while on my treadmill watching your video. Good stuff!
Haha only a temporary injury 👍🏼👍🏼
I have always adored the Bonnies they are quite beautiful and this bobber even more so in its own way.
This has got to be the best bike review I've seen. The info and review of the bike is spot on but the added bonus of seeing you move the sheep & donkeys was just genius. I love the Bobber but couldn't bear parting with my 2017 T120 (very modified). We're just in the process of buying a similar looking property in the heart of South Warwickshire. Couple of questions - are we going to see inside the gym and why is it that your wife is the one running around 🤣
Thank you very much indeed.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
I have to keep the wife moving!
😉
I’ll have to film the gym next time 👍🏼
Excellent review, thank you. The Bobber is on my list of choices for a new bike in the Spring, more because of the coolness of it, but the Speedmaster is edging it out. I showed my wife the tour of the holiday let, she lovesvit and is now getting ideas. You have such a beautiful spot there.
Thanks buddy. Yes two great bikes!
Great; the holiday let is a good base for touring Wales without being overrun by tourists and traffic like some parts of Wales (see forthcoming videos!)
Your videos always have excellent engine sound. The static camera with the bike going past is also great for getting the sound for bystanders.
Thanks Steve. That’s the aim and we’re glad it comes across that way 👍🏼👍🏼
Outstanding review 👍like always. Thanks for your videos
From across the pond your reviews are spot on simple description of the motorcycle no complicated explanation nice shit thk y stay safe out there
Love the camera work and the extra stops :) I was within inches of buying this gorgeous gold line edition, but ended up opting for the Street Scrambler in matte khaki/ironstone. It's been awesome!
Thanks buddy. Ok great 💯👍🏼
I own the cordovan red colour of the same bike. bs 6 is amazing and she's a beauty. have asked for a fox suspension to make the seat more comfortable.. this bike has my heart ❤
Love the Bobber,but brought the speedmaster to accommodate the wife, loved the video & your accommodation looks fabulous. Thanks for all the info & good luck with the let 👍🏻😊
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
One of the very few motorcycles on which I can't find a blemish regarding looks. Everything is where it should be and looking like it should. Bravo Triumph.
Yes it’s a cracking looking bike 👍🏼👍🏼
The guys over at Thornton Hundred Motorcycles work some voodoo magic with these bobbers.
love the detailed review. precisely what i need to make an informed decision
Thanks very much 👍🏼👍🏼
Love how this video has been done this time with the riding the bike out of the place it had been kept to the mini review to you grabbing your jacket from the 'gym'. Belting love all the videos though
Thanks very much indeed 👍🏼👍🏼
Its one of the most beautiful bikes around. It has the magic that only very few bikeshave
Indeed 👌🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan honestly its the reason i do my bike training. Sort of fell in love with it
Beautiful 🤩 the bobber is definitely one of my favourite top 5 triumphs that I ever had the pleasure to be apart of 🙏 and there’s definitely a lot of my sole blended into that bike another good review keep up the good work 🙏
Excellent!
Thanks very much 👍🏼👍🏼
Such a gorgeous bike. I sat on one at a dealer and it felt like sitting in a bucket.
Seen a few Triumphs in my area. Recently, when I was in my car, I had a Speedmaster behind me. Guy overtook me eventually. I was impressed how fast it was. He also had an aftermarket exhaust on it. Didn’t sound bad either, but of course nothing like a HD. Not bad bikes at all it.
Yes agreed 💯👍🏼
Great reviews as always,I have a speedmaster,to take me camping, site seeing ect,trundling around, 65 mph max I wanna be seen not missed ,I loves I do
Sounds great!
Bobber and Speed Master are my fav Triumphs. Nice review.
Excellent 👍🏼👍🏼Thank you
Best looking Bobber on the market (and comfy) with a name like Triumph it’s now legendary
your vids are so much cooler when a Triumph is involved, the rental looks awesome to, 👍
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
I'd love to see a kawasaki W800 review. Best looking modern classic in my opinion.
Yes we really wanted to but Kawasaki have only just discovered RUclips and aren’t with it yet
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I'll secong the kawi w800...I've been looking at this bike lately
Beautiful finish to the bike love triumphs now
The Bobber and Speed Twin have got to be 2 of the best looking motorcycles in the world 👌
Yes certainly 👌🏼
The Bobber is the best looking new bike out there. If I could have more than one bike than this would be the one. As it is I'll stick with my Road King but someday a Bobber will be added to my stable.
Thank you for the walk around of your farm, so beautiful.
PS, you're looking great, "Old Man".
Thanks buddy. 👍🏼👍🏼
Wonderful review, gorgeous Triumph Bobber….the high-pitched voice part was hilarious 😂, love your channel 👍🏻
Thanks very much 😉👍🏼
O'lman you are simply a genius and good Motorcycle reviewer.i like your every episode of Reviews
Thanks very much 👍🏼👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan my pleasure
Just bought this and it sits next to my 765rs. Took it around a few mountain rides here in my area(CA) . This thing is a surprising little beast. I am a short dude so the fact the bike is smaller is no biggie for me. I think this bobber is unique. Its not a cruiser, but is still super comfy. Its not a sport bike but let me tell you this thing can rip on some faster twisties. I feel like its pretty okay at everything, but the looks for me are the knock out thing, followed by the torque and sound.
Def a bike that you need to ride to really understand. Plus you can do some pretty crazy stuff with it (Check out Thornton 100). You can make it a cool oldschool ride around town bike with back storage. Think like 1950's, or go super hard and do the sportbike front conversion with 4 piston upgraded brakes. Agree on the seat. Its find but after about an hour good god its not great lol.
Some people do complain about the suspension and while its not even close to my 765rs its not that bad. Great video btw!
Thanks buddy that’s great! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The more I LEARNabout gem of a MACHINE... ONE MAY BE IN THE FUTURE AS A 3RDin my STABLE. as always thanks for sharing.
Love the Bobber, although prefer the Speedmaster. All the Gold Line Triumphs look great. I have a Bonneville T120 Gold Line, and the paint and finish is spectacular. But my favourite part of this fantastic review has to be the sheep. They're gorgeous and so entertaining 😍
Excellent!
Ahh yes they’re very sweet!
Loved the voice inflection, cracked me up. Nice review!
Haha yes the injury was temporary 😬
That seat looks amazing. Actual bobber styling. If Harley did not excist i'd be riding a triumph for sure.
Yes good point!
AWESOME JOB. THANKS. 70 YEAR OLD VET. IN SOUTHWEST UTAH, USA GOD BLESS. 😇
Speedmaster is my favourite Triumph but this bobber is looks so cool then this is my 2nd fave :)) thank you big man for the review vid
Yes agreed. No problem 👍🏼
Thank's for the interest Test Video of this wonderful bike 👍
No problem 👍🏼👍🏼
Just off to buy a bobber goldline tomorrow thanks for the vid 👍
Awesome 👍🏼
Great review and even greater beard!
This is my absolute dream bike, but I'm a skinny 5'5" 61kg guy, so I'm kind of aftraid I won't be able to handle the weight and power it comes with. I mean I'm not weak per se, but I sure as hell am not the (no offense) mountain you are... sir.
Even got a Triumph dealership near me in Germany, but I'll probably ride my puny Online VT125 for a few more months, maybe do some lifting at the gym, and hopefully gonna be ready for this beautiful machine!
You can totally handle a bike like this. I have a 2019 Boneville Bobber Black. I'm 5'10", 130lbs, so we're nearly the same weight. I was also really worried about the size of the bike prior to getting it, but I have had no problems. The Boneville Bobber sit pretty low to the ground so you shouldn't have any issues with putting your feet down. You should take one for a test ride if you like the bike.
Sounds and looks amazing, great review!
Thanks mate 👍🏼👍🏼
His little vacation stay house is beautiful
Thanks very much 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video!!! I’m still happy with my gold line Speedmaster,
Thanks buddy. Yes still my personal favourite triumph 👍🏼
Indeed the bobber goldline is this year's highlight
👌🏼
That's a beautiful bike.
Beautiful scenery!
Thanks for the review...
Blessings from Georgia USA ✌️
🇺🇸⚔️
No problem bro 👍🏼
Very nice Ol’Man
Nice place,you look comfortable on the bike,I was looking at the Speedmaster as my next bike.I think i will go for it.
What a beautiful place you have! I love the bobber too! Ok, so it's impractical, selfish and painful for long rides. But I'm glad some bikes are built like this, with no compromises. It's also beautiful, badass and sounds magnificent. Can't think of a better bike for cruising round the countryside B roads. Great video.
Thanks very much. Yes absolutely 👍🏼👍🏼
Just couple days ago i was scrolling through all your vids to find one on the bobber!
Excellent 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice and nicely done.
Great review and watch as usual
Thanks buddy; much appreciated 👍🏼
Love this Old Man! Makes me miss my horse ranch in New Mexico. Had 2 donkeys that looked just like yours. And love your casita. Who knows? Maybe someday... Love the Bobber Gold Line, but love my Speedmaster Goldline a bit more :)
Great! Thanks very much. 👍🏼
Thanks for the honest review of the bike,it's good to know the good and bad things about it.its a shame triumph doesn't do an old looking bike (1950) with an up to date 1200 cc engine.
Who knows maybe they will !!😁
Take care on the road.
Peace out ✌️
P.s .
I meant a springer front end with a rigid looking back end I.e the triumphs from the late 40s early 50s
Thanks very much 👍🏼👍🏼
Maybe the best looking bike ever. Especially the gold line in red.
Really nice 👍🏼👍🏼
Would love to visit. Awesome views.
Im a new fan! Just subscribed to your channel, keep it up!
Excellent. Welcome aboard 👍🏼👍🏼
Good lord this thing sounds glorious
I have that exact bike, I have the Triumph High handle bars so much nicer easier in the back, installed frame rail leather bags with 2 aluminum gas bottles, rear fender rack with a leather tail bag on the fender rack, it makes people twist their heads as I go by, the ladies love the Triumph, so different than any thing on the road, i am 66 years young and ride hundreds of miles on it and love every mile, I made a set of panniers for it also, tell me where I can send video and i will Mr. Darcy.
Kind of ironic that women loves that bike, and it has no pillion seat for them to come along for a ride. ;)
It is bloody gorgeous though, in my humble opinion the best looking bike on the market currently.
👌🏼👍🏼
Awesome buddy, you can send us it on Instagram mrdarcyandtheoldman
The high pitched voice was a nice touch. It is a beautiful ride though.
I usually don’t get all excited about a bike unless it’s something like a beautiful, custom, CVO or something like that with those crazy paint jobs and such, but………that very first scene where you are standing there next to this bike, I was stunned at how freaking sexy this motorcycle is!! It’s beautiful, tough, modern, and old school all at the same time and it just floored me! What a freaking motorcycle! I want one!
Great! Thanks very much 👍🏼👍🏼
I know I'm going to have to get one. The red-white goldline is my fave. In Thailand we don't have power/speed/torque restrictions so the bikes are fully tuned to the top specs. Thank you Gentle Giant for yet another review and some views of the green fields of England which i have not seen since 1989.
@@ducatireviews1136 Excellent! Yes I like the sound of living in an in restricted country (people think that of the UK for some unknown reason!). Thailand looks amazing
Definitely one of best looking bikes out. Makes good noise as well.
Yea definitely 👍🏼
Seen one in the flesh yesterday in a dealer for sale, very nice.
Great 👍🏼👍🏼
Lovely looking holiday let, fantastic job on that. The toilet is great, looks like it has more chrome than my glitter & dust interceptor:)
Thanks very much! Haha yes 👍🏼
You are right on those UK plates. I see a lot of UK riders passing through Belgium, and my god they are enormous. Our Belgian motorcycles plates are pretty decent. I would say half the size of the UK plate. The German ones are 75% the size of the UK ones.
Yes 💯 Just goes to show what a crap government the UK has…always
The Triumph Bobber look is growing on me.
Yea it’s a great looking bike 👍🏼
Good review. Nice rural setting where you live. Looks like you get a good aerobic workout walking and working around your property.
Thanks very much. Yes indeed, and it’s pretty hilly 👍🏼
Great content brother.. as usual
Thanks buddy 👍🏼
Really love the look of this bike ♥️
Yea it’s really cool 👍🏼👍🏼
Super video me diverti muchisimo me encanto la moto y toda la granja esta hermosa saludos👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Muchas gracias amigo 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the review. I have an R18 first edition and was wondering where you are based in terms of the holiday let? Thanks for your great work. Nigel.
Thanks very much! Awesome.
Were 6 miles south of Llangollen 👍🏼👍🏼
needs a full front fender to protect the rad. of dirt .. and a few more inches in frt for a true 1930 retro look ..also some seat springs would fill the retro look out no need to work but just for looks along with some retro mufflers .. then i might buy one ..small changes mean a lot larger frt headlight in chrome
I guess you could retro fit that 👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan yes but triumph has most of the bits on the shelf from other models and could do it at the same price ..thus offering a retro model ....shame a 1930-1940 style ..bit of this a bit of that ..the old color and badges .. triumph ia big in limited models for sales .. this would be a true collector model ..not the pin strip and $1,000 more rip off they do every few years ..but then they are not really British anymore are they ..even though they force the '' we are old english co '' in all the adds .. history and all that sort .. even dealers say made in England for years .. till they were caught ..shame .. just another foreign made bike in the end ...pity .. history repeats itself .. the pride of 2001 bonnie made in country gone ..dam shame ..
@@katana258 ok I get your points there. 👍🏼👍🏼
It’s a cool bike however I bought the HD Softail Slim over the Triumph. Much the same style (bobber look) but much more comfortable on longer rides and seems to have more torque. Great review as always too.
Yes the Softail has waaaay more torque and it hits harder at lower rpm 👍🏼👍🏼
Haven’t seen video yet - but OMG looking forward to this. I’ve had a Bobber Black for 4 years and longtime subscriber. Match made in heaven (I hope you like the bike!!)
Actually mate, for a big dude and a baby Bonnie frame - that actually looks great on you
Thanks buddy.
Yes when I saw it back I thought it looked pretty good 👍🏼👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Spot on review as always. I still love my Bobber Black. It’s such a fun bike. I’ve toured on it, been off and commuted on it. Looked cool AF 100% of the time too. We need more bikes like this 🤘
Nice bike. Nice remodel as well.
Yes indeed 👍🏼
Clunk-click every trip, love it! Have you signed up a new film director, opening scenes really excellent!
Yes I remember that.
No still all done in house. Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice bike if ya like your knackers squashed every time you brake..Thanks for the review and the mini tour..😊👍.ps Can't wait for the B.S.A Goldstar review
Yea it’s a crusher!
Hopefully we will get to review the BSA soon 👍🏼💯
