[@jamesrichardson3322]

I love this Bobber it has that classic retro feel to it, like the bikes in the 40's and the 50's. I want one!!

[@thearmchairadmiral]

The look is amazing but what truly made me dream of this bike was the sound

[@DD-lc5ts]

I liked this vid over a year ago, when I’d first bought this bike. Coming back and re listening to your review I’m taken by how spot on you were.

[@spicy110]

Thanks 🙂

[@chrisdavidson911]

Briefly saw one of these - it was on a roundabout - looked and sounded absolutely awesome Making the fuel injection look like a carb is the sort of thing i really like about Triumph

[@dave6467]

Hey, if you like the fake carbs, you're gonna love the fake hardtail, fake rear srung-hub, fake points cover, fake 'Smiths' speedo, and finally, the fake "look what I designed and built in my garage", concept.

[@thefrog011]

I've been following bike reviewers for years and I have no idea how I never seen you! Until now. Subscribed. Best review I've ever seen. You clearly know what you are talking about. Joy to watch and listen. Forgot about the bike.... Dream machine.

[@Vegesaurus7]

Oh man you are first person to say you. Old ride a bike for the escapism and feel of it. That’s what I love about motorcycles! And the number one reasons I’d get a bike.

[@paulkinsella612]

I had my heart set on a bobber 3 years ago. I took one for a test ride and we didn't get on. Nothing wrong with the bike as such, we just didn't gel. Took the speedmaster out and fell in love immediately! Effectively the same bike in a different frock, but felt so different. From a riders point of view, obviously, peg position and bars are different, but the way it Rode was different too. Both beautiful, both practically perfect in the power delivery, both stunning. If you don't like one, try the other. Great review as usual Spicy.

[@dave6467]

I took one out 4 years ago. My local Triumph dealer talked me into it as they didn't have a T120 available to test. The engine was OK (which is why they sent me out on it), but fankly I couldn't wait to get off it. It was sooo emabrassing to be seen on. It's so pretentious and "stuck up its own hardtail", that you can't take this bike seriously.

[@paulkinsella612]

@@dave6467 fair enough, everyone is different. My take is, if you worry what you look like riding a bike then it's not the one for you. I don't give a flying doo dah what anyone else thinks. I think it's cool as penguin piss, and as I'm the one who paid for it, I'm the only person that it has to please. At least you had a ride before coming to your decision, so many people slate a bike and have never even swung a leg over it. I hope you find "Your" bike. Stay safe.

[@dave6467]

@@paulkinsella612 yep good call and I feel quite bad for being critical of it now. 😬. You're right that it's the owner who has to feel a passion for their bike. Nobody else. I guess I just found it a bit over the top style wise and a bit fake. But it certainly appeals to a lot of people and Triumph have sold thousands of them.

[@MrSwitchblade327]

@@dave6467 lol maybe it's just you that's stuck up your own tail

[@haroldc90]

I test rode one today (same colour in fact). You are absolutely spot on in every way….The bike put big smile on my face and them stock pipes are awesome.

[@tobiasbollig6394]

I m so torn between the Triumph Bobber/Speedmaster and the Indian Scout bobber. The struggle is unreal. Already testdrove both and they both feel amazing! Service and Community are both equally here. It’s so hard.

[@ramirof1986]

I’m right there with you. The way I see it is that since the Indian is a bit cheaper I can use the difference I save on switching the suspension and seat (which I hear is atrocious)…but it will never look like the triumph. Plus the triumph has more safety features and cruise control. Aaaaand we are back to square one 😂

[@corincrilow9172]

I feel you lol I’m torn as well

[@tobiasbollig6394]

@@corincrilow9172 hey mate, if it gives you a little bit decision help. i decided for the scout bobber. It felt for me that you have the possibility to drive a little bit faster on your own with great sound and power while still having the ability to get a passenger on board and have the cruiser feeling the speedmaster gives you. In terms of optic i still prefer the old school speedmaster, but they are both great machines with the indian taking it performance wise for me and i won t have a socia 24/7. Have a save ride!

[@boogie1354]

I'm going with Triump Bobber, it depends on what you want it for. For me it would be to quickly jump on an go. Loving the quality as well as the vintage style and the solo seat. This would be a 2nd bike to my HD Ultra Classic which would be for long rides. Motor with care people !

[@wwfww]

Investigate the reliability reports on both bikes, it makes so much difference on the overall experience of a bike

[@fredmercury1314]

Speaking as someone who's done 189 on British roads, more times than I care to remember, you definitely can go faster than 70 on a GSXR1000. And although I'm a fool who is addicted to speed, I have to say I almost completely stopped riding my GSXR when I bought an old DR600 thumper. Turns out that, slow with drama is just more fun than fast with ease. Who knew?

[@tabbytrue9953]

Hello Hayling!!! Well, I actually had a sit on one of these a couple of weeks ago. I’ve had a word and will shortly be trading my Ducati Scrambler in towards one of these. A wonderful review :)

[@trev8591]

Thanks, Brother. I'm looking at "downsizing" from my VN900 and sat on a Bobber today at the Triumph dealership. Quite taken with the little thing, I think it would suit this crusty old biker rather well.

[@spicy110]

You will love it, it's got the power when need but is a very chill ride.

[@isaidthephil]

I pick up my new Bobber next week when the new reg comes out and can't wait. I also did a tour or the Triumph Factory today with the Thornton Hundred lads which has got me even more excited to get my hands on it 😁 Nice review buddy 👍

[@EDD357REVIEWS]

The smile on my face when i realised you were riding down Hayling seafront

[@spicy110]

Been making videos here for over 10 years 🙂

[@EDD357REVIEWS]

I grew up there, my parents still live there infact, rode my first bike down that seafront a yam virago 125

[@jerryhawley-higgs7357]

Nice to see Hayling in videos. Grew up there. Had an FS1E and Yam RD200 and 400 back in the day.

[@mowilliams1511]

I've subscribed mainly because you're the same height as me and I always find it difficult to find the right bike for my height. Loved the video!

[@MrSlowestD16]

It's a sharp looking bike, no doubt about that. I agree, it's a "back to basics" take on a bonnie (as if a bonnie wasn't already 'back to basics') and really harkens back to the bobber look.

[@jasonkelsey3441]

It is not a matter of "if" but when I buy one of these ;)

[@valuepack2]

The review was great, but the eye candy in this one! Beautifully shot! Cheers from the States, Spicy.

[@timange124]

Just saw this at the Toronto motorcycle show, what a beautiful bike! I’ve always liked bobbers, but this one just stuck out for me.

[@HolidayAtHome]

I will get mine tomorrow! Can''t wait =D !

[@spicy110]

Exciting times haha Have fun!

[@chazizphat]

Every cell in my body is SCREAMING to just hop on one and go get a nice tall ice cold milkshake by the beach

[@phantomrider22]

I really liked this bike when I test drove one. I didn't care for the upright controls, but it was still very comfortable. I would like to test drive one with the forward controls that they offer.

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

I test it too today and loved it. It's very likely I'll buy one.

[@RiderReviews]

Great Review! I have this one on my List ‘Hopefully Soon’. Take care Jake.

[@brownco_customs]

I feel sorry for you guys in the UK having to use that giant number plate. Oh, and the weather of course😉😉

[@minty1758]

Glad you mentioned the smells. It's amazing how much green tobacco ";^ ) smells there are out there. They must grow it in every street in our area.

[@felixhora8535]

How would you compare your experience riding this bobber to riding the BMW R18? I know the other one is a lot bigger engine and all. I’m just curious about how you enjoyed them both, which one would you choose if money wasn’t issue, etc?

[@martybartfast]

Good, honest review, Spicy. 👍 🏍

[@Flyingbull99]

is this a good bike for a beginner ? I' used to ride 1200 Sportster 20+ years ago and havent touched a bike since and now feel like I am starting all over. Would appreciate any feed back. Thanks in advance.

[@spicy110]

I you were young and had never ridden I would say no just because it's a large bike in size, weight, and displacement. However, if you used to ride something like it in the past you are not truly a new rider.(though it is a good way to look at it) I would say you probably could yes, but I think taking refresher training would be a good idea beforehand.

[@Flyingbull99]

@@spicy110that’s an excellent thought. Thank you.

[@boredloner2609]

this is probably a really stupid question but is it possible to put a Speedmaster seat on the Bobber?

[@RickyBobber]

Nice looking bike! I got test ride one. quality ride! This color scheme is awesome

[@landedzentry]

very strange gearing - very long- they've made it 4 gears!. I suppose it makes full use of the torque and relaxes the ride experience. I would run a compromise - change the sprockets to have 5 useable, with 6th as a long overdrive (70mph+). This would sharpen the acceleration and not ask the engine to pull from low revs so much.

[@RodiGKaya]

Great review

[@reaperpl0454]

im actually in process of convincing my wife to buy a bike but bikes are dangerous... And im considering getting this bike, its perfect for me. looks amazing have great sound and its not too fast.

[@farhanzaman152]

How is it dangerous?

[@reaperpl0454]

@@farhanzaman152 how what is dangerous? Convincing my wife? Or riding a bike? Its not a hot news that both can be deadly.

[@charliejones3119]

Hey spicy hope you reply as I have a question I currently have a lexmoto zsxf and debating if to get another 125 like the adrenaline currently got my theory test booked for my A2 but I'm just wondering what your opinion is on getting another 125 thank you

[@zerospeedfactory9503]

Probably the factory gearing is meant for 12-13 stone lads. Anyway, gear changes... do they felt stiff like harleys?

[@17hmr243]

what no 2up review :D good to see you sampling all types of wheels

[@Xenro66]

Jk lmao. I still hold the same opinion that I left with on the first ride video, it's not quite my cup of tea. If I was going for a bobber style bike, I'd personally want the most power and torque possible low down, but something like this is just perfect for those that aren't interested in all the newfangled crotch rockets, supernakeds, supermotos, but also don't want a rolling sofa like a goldwing. Classic biking will always have an appeal somewhere.

[@CheapskateMotorsports]

I think if I live long enough to not be able to ride sporty bikes anymore, I'd probably ride a bobber style bike. Something about that pre ww2 look appeals to me. I could never see myself owning one right now because I need the agility, power and practicality. Even with a sportsbike you can mount a top box, panniers tail bag and tank bag if you need to. With this, you either ruin the elegance of the design by fitting a rack to the rear somehow or you're stuck with a tank bag and backpack.

[@steveball2307]

Enjoyable review of an interesting bike. Can't decide whether making the injector bodies look like 60s Amal Monobloc carbs is really cool or just naff though... 😉

[@Zube53]

youre videos are really good, well presented and very informative, i just got a triumph speedmaster, you ought to do one on that almost the same as the bobber, but oh so much better!

[@bernardvezina-gagnon24]

Im suprised that all the reviews i see doesnt mention the Tubed tires , its a big turn off for me

[@spicy110]

Why?

[@bernardvezina-gagnon24]

@@spicy110 Because fixing a flat on the road is way more of a hassle then a tubeless tire.

[@spicy110]

Fair, I guessed that might be why but wanted to be sure. Honestly, I do not think it would put me off a bike but then one of my bikes has tubes and it really is not that big a deal. There are things you can do to fix a tubed flat but true to say, it's not ideal. On the other side of the same coin with tubes, you do not need to replace tyres with odd-shaped puncture holes.

[@bernardvezina-gagnon24]

@@spicy110 Well im considering Buying a Bobber , and the only point that makes me hesitate is the tubed tires ( i want to do some light touring) in your experience , how many puncture did you get with a tubed tire?

[@spicy110]

The funny thing is on my XJ6 (tubed) I have had more punctures than on my DRZ (Tubeless) I take greenlining, and I use road tyres to do that. haha So I think I would not be a good example. Side note, here is a video I "fixed" a tubed tyre at the roadside kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJbJn6RrmbahjLM
