I think you all are missing the Burns magic. I love that guy. Funny, understated, and not a typical industry nut-hugger. As experienced as almost anyone in the industry and let's his retro-grouch shine.

[@kleinbottled79]

Been a fan of his written work since the 90's. Also; he has never bothered me on camera, but clearly that's not what he was hired for. He is a writer. That's how anyone over the age of 30 probably got their start in this industry. Burns is gonna tell you the important aspects of a bike with very few wasted words. Guess maybe that means more in print that on video to some, but his style works well enough for me.

[@AkaAndyKnuckles]

Nice review. I like it when the presenter is honest and not too scripted.

[@zenden6564]

I see a lot of chaffing in the comments but like a good cigar, the real enjoyment of the Burns drollery is in the not inhaling. We are left with just the fine machines themselves described without any faux urgency. If one wants the opposite approach with a nuanced Teutonic review, have a look at the mystic Zonko with his pipe on 1000PS. Myself I like both styles :)

[@djb2366]

Great review, don't take the hate below personally. Some people just don't understand your sense of humor/sarcasm...

[@ramonburgos6351]

John, you get to go to Spain to try out bikes...boy do I envy your job!!! Great job on the review.

[@danielhilley4818]

Thanks, Burnsie! I always appreciate your reviews. Good job!

[@3RayJ3]

I know at sometime every job becomes work but it is also said that if you love what you do , you will never work a day in your life. That said, This was a fairly spoiled, uninspiring review. Poor baby, have to go to Spain to ride the newest bikes. That said, I love what Triumph is doing. So many well thought out, quality bikes. It is too bad they all are so heavy though. I know I wont be trading in my old '70 Tiger 650 for one but maybe some day I might add one of them.

[@Velosirraton]

The most interesting Scrambler rigth now is the Benelli Leoncino, it's ligth and has decent torque and HP

[@noobasdfjkl]

All Things FUNZIEZ! I’d expect nothing less from the creator of such classic motion pictures as “I’m drunk”

[@roybatty-]

I was pissed Triumph did not show up to the NYC auto show this year. But with 54Hp and 59 torque, I don't think I missed much here. The sweet spot for a street bike is 100hp and 80-90lb torque. Never get bored of that....

[@Parabloop3r]

But that means it's probably making peak power at like 6000-6500rpm, and would require a 1.2L+ sized motor

[@mr.silverback8358]

that Street cup looks nice

[@Roboflux]

Great review!

[@cfcasazza]

Thanks John. Great video

[@kurasenpai6923]

u just gotta click so fast when its John Burns the one who reviewing

[@Parabloop3r]

Geez, take it easy on the guy. He had a stroke like a year ago. His facial muscles might not allow him to have enthusiastic speech intonations right now.

[@johna6968]

Great review, with sarcasm included

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

I liked the no-bullshit style John, don't listen to them! haha. You're just a man speaking from lots of experience and some people take it as negative. I'm a straight shooter myself.

[@RichDunn]

The Bobber actually uses the Hi Torque (not Hi Power) 1200cc engine and makes just shy of 80 hp / 80 torques.

[@jboy2621]

I'm loving the Street Cup. Although I'm not fond of the name. Reminds me of baseball gear for men.

[@chrisdigital]

Guys complaining about getting the fly out to try bikes out... Quit your job buddy... I'll take it that job any day.

[@mroaktree1162]

how'd you know i would be watching this at work? O..o lol

[@zbb2stillalive]

Neat looking bike. Hopefully they worked on reliability? 2015 stats showed a 29% reliability failure rate.

[@tylerrue3108]

I'd buy one of these as a second bike, for sure. Too bad it's over priced, as all Triumphs are.

[@nowphoenix]

So yeaaaaah. Wrong tone this time out, Mr. Burns. But you're a solid reviewer. You'll knock it outta here next time.

[@brantwilliams2464]

I never comment on videos but this guy is just a terrible on camera. I'm sure he's a great guy with tons of moto knowledge but there's just no entertainment value to him. He's not charming, he sounds like he hates his job, and he's certainly not doing the product any favors. You guys gotta find someone with some charisma and someone who takes time to research the products he's reviewing.

[@BrosForWhat]

NICE VIDEO !! :D LOVE IT !!! CHECK OUT MY CHANNEL TOO!!! YOUR IS AWESOME !! :D

[@Zero081086]

One word "UnderPowered":C amazing bike but no, i miss the ducati sport classic 1000

[@myriad860]

The most doped out review I have ever watched lol! We need real motooggers taking charge of this stuff!

[@iflystuff1]

Fix....The.....Audio

[@barefootbab]

who buys these? why..

[@germanium1872]

I love the bikes, but that was a horrible review. He looked like he didn't care about what he was doing

[@IMAWILDPARTY]

Nerd shirt alert.

[@pashaATX]

between the weight/performance and the price these bikes are garbage

[@adamfairall1]

Honestly, what an awful review. You couldn't seem less interested! I know you're the editor for Motorcycle.com, perhaps it's time you let someone else take the reviews. Disappointing to say the least!

[@turbo311]

I can't believe you guys actually get paid to fly to another country to ride a bike then film yourselves standing next to it just blabbing and pointing at shit. Your format is tired. Other publications are putting in MUCH more effort.

[@peakrider4886]

Where on earth did they find this guy? Was it supposed to be ironic?, sarcastic?, mocking another moto journo? If so it completely missed the mark. Utter crap!!! And a thumbs down from me. If I were the M.D. of Triumph I would not be happy about this so called "review" and I wouldn't be inviting Motorcycle.com on another launch.

[@waylander07]

you should get a new job. speaking to camera is not your thing errrrrr

[@remikus]

Did I just witness the least inspiring bike review in last 10 years. Motorcycle.com please keep that gentleman on the other side of camera or at least let him get some sleep and rest before he will do it again 👎🏼:/
