2021 Triumph Bonneville Bobber Black Review | Beyond the Ride

Take two on a bike that Jinno was about to take home for good. This is the Triumph Bonneville Bobber Black on this episode of Beyond the Ride. Equipped with a 1,200cc twin cylinder, Triumph's British roots show in everything that surrounds its motor. From head to tail, this bike is a showstopper of a classic in the Philippines and the rest of the world.

This is love. 5% utility. 200% emotions. One of my dream bike.

[@CraiusProject]

Totally agree! Getting a motorcycle is an emotional process, more importantly is, how it makes you feel by looking at it, riding it, the sound, smelling the fumes, the new tires etc. Love that Bobber Black! As always, great content, loved watching it!

[@itskrill]

Smelling the fumes? Chill bro

[@doorshotel]

You have a relationship with a motorcycle like you don't get with any other vehicle.

Hi boss nice bike if you don’t mind what style your jeans is the slim jeans or straight jeans thanks bosing

[@stuartvorster4911]

I had one of these things for 9 months. Beautiful bike with a couple of major faults. The bike is l o w so suspension at the back has very, very little room. I put on an optional Fox shock. Made very little difference at all. But as i said keeping the design this low did not leave too much space for more travel. Sadly though the front is as bad & here Triumph should have added much better fork shocks. I have been riding 45 years & this is the worst most uncomfortable & potentially dangerous suspension i have ever dealt with. It will bottom out regularly & its not pleasant when it does. Just to give some background. I have owned 27 bikes & ridden a lot more. I am also fitter than most guys 20 years younger than me. So looking at the situation i really have to wonder if Triumph shouldn't redesign this great looking bike slightly & dramatically upgrade the suspension front & back. Sadly, 2 guys i ride with occasionally have also sold or traded their Black Bob's....this bike deserves a much better, much upgraded, fully adjustable suspension. I would rather pay more for quality than settle for 5th rate. C'mon Triumph.

[@dickylee12]

Thank you that was deep you answered my question just what I needed... . .hot looking bobber but no comfort. Damn bike does look good.

[@GerardoRamirez22]

Thanks Stuart, that's the information I was looking for. I am considering the HD 2021 Sportser S but it seems to have the same suspension issues. Do you have any recommendations for low bikes that don't sacrifice too much on comfort?

[@Eganweeds]

Have a 2019 bobber. Phenomenal looking bike, real head turner. Everyone who I've let ride it says it is the most uncomfortable bike they've been on, especially if they've been on it for longer than a ride around the block after we swap bikes for a bit. Personally I haven't been uncomfortable on the bike at all, and I've put many miles on it at a time, also never bottomed the thing out. Probably because I'm a super skinny guy (6 ft at 140 pounds). I've just chalked it up as being a bike for the really young and skinny, not exactly a bike to be kept around to be used in my forties lol.

[@Quitexo]

Your review might just be the one I need before payinh $20k for an uncomfortable bike. But that bike is really good looking! thanks for the honest review good sire.

[@raynaldtorres1731]

This was the review i was looking for. I've been looking at this bike and the look is phenomenal but comfort is also a factor since a cruiser is supposed to be comfortable. Thamks for the honest review.

[@williamforbes4750]

Torque is actually 106 Nm (78 quoted in video is lb/ft figure). It pulls well because it's a pretty flat torque curve from much lower in rev range than rivals, peaking at 4000 rpm. It does run out of steam at higher speeds, having only 77 bhp, but that's not what this bike is about. Cheers from Australia.

[@hiddendragon415]

Which is what you want and not some licence destroying superbike in Nanny Land. I bought a Mt09 SP and even though that has a lot more on offer I think the Bobber looks so good.

[@williamforbes4750]

@@hiddendragon415 You're so right. I lost my licence within a few weeks of arrival in Australia, riding my Speed Triple on fantastic roads in the Adelaide Hills. Never even had a parking ticket in 25 years riding back in the UK. I've always had sports/naked bikes but I'm an old git now and the Bobber is more age appropriate. It can still give most bikes a scare up to 120kph or so. It gets a lot of attention among all the Harley's at my local. I'd be very happy with the MT09 (or 10) SP if I could trust myself not to be an idiot on it. Great bike.

[@hiddendragon415]

@@williamforbes4750 Yeah it's hard not to open up the 09, glad I not in revenue raising land anymore (Victoria..). I'm pretty jealous of the looks of the Bobber.

[@SteveSmith-wk9dx]

I haven't ridden the Black or the more recent models, but I have my faithful 2018 Bobber which is still a reliable head-turner. Mine came with a shortened rear fender and mini-apes. I've added white-walls, switched to clubman bars and custom saddle, and fab'd a side-mount registration plate. There are better bikes, cheaper bikes, faster bikes. But this one is MY bike. If you see a Triumph Bobber and love the look and sound, that's the best reason to have one.

[@BorjaOjeda]

@Steve Smith Would love to see a picture of that!!

[@Zekriax]

Do you have any photos of your bike ? Would love to see it as this is what I’ve envisioned on mine ! :)

[@SteveSmith-wk9dx]

@@Zekriax I've added a link in my 'About' section.

[@PR-xh3nj]

I have a 2018 Bobber. It's nice to see they increased the incredibly tiny fuel tank. The mid controls are perfect if you prefer a bike to be ride able. You can get really aggressive in the corners if that's your thing (it is mine because I came from a sport bike background). I can't say I agree about the highway riding. I can tuck forward and do long highway trips without an issue and haven't added a windscreen. If you are sitting upright then of course you are going to take an absolute beating by the wind. It is a shame if the 'not loud enough' statement is true about the newer model. I am well past wanting an annoying/aggravating loud bike for no reason other than to try and be cool. My bike sounds RAD stock. When the RPM is up in a lower gear and you let off the throttle, you get a nice crackle and pop from the exhaust. Nothing overly stupid, it just sounds awesome.

[@frankykid]

Great summary and respect, who needs a noisy bike, smooth ride, nice looking, good fuel tank, easy acceleration through corners and good handling it has it all

[@bfranco1519]

Euro 5 regulations are killing motorcycles. I have the 2019 and its still sounds good for stock.

[@bfranco1519]

Louds bikes make your presence known and could save your life! Quiet bikes are lame…

[@PR-xh3nj]

@@bfranco1519 Nope. Heard of the doppler effect? I'll assume no. Science > cool factor. Loud bikes don't save lives.

Anyone can add a $25 cafe-style windscreen and direct most of the air over their body.

[@byunism]

great videography and review. I ride the bobber on a 2000+ mile trip every year. The guys I ride with do it on home built choppers with hardtails. You can tour on anything if you're crazy enough 😜

[@quacktac]

I haven't even started riding yet, but this bike calls to me so much.

[@pallergarage]

First time i started thinking about selling my Iron 883 was right after Jinno's Bobber Black test. Iron 883 is a different bike and it's having its own thing. But how does he behave on the road after 100 km/h - big dissapointment. I had opportunity to test Bobber Black this summer and I couldn't sleep for 2 nights after this test. Only thing i was disappointed was small tank. The last October i sold iron 883 and bought bobber 2021 with 12 liter tank. A sound issues i'm going to solve with motone x pipe.

[@reginemiller9739]

One thing I like abt the 883 was the heart shape tank. It looks sick

[@wilsondelosreyes5335]

It's basic but very good looking, and the exhaust sound, soooo good! I like this kind of cruiser.

Saw this bike an hour ago while getting bubbletea, it looked so nice

[@mrmsc919]

I have a 2018 Bobber Black. Would love a bigger tank. Wish there were more ways to customize it. I love it though!

[@bfranco1519]

You can retrofit a Speedmaster’s tank on your 2018 for a 3 gallon I believe

[@RoyalBurritos]

For short trips - it is perfect. For longer than 200km, the ride is hard and tiring. But, again, as for city rides, short trips - perfect and a looker too.

[@earthworm7894]

5:11 parachute catching everything ? thats the best part that makes u feel at one with the bike and the road (as long as it it is not a gale force wind u are riding into). get on something with a massive fairing is like driving a car (also : i like a full face helmet to protect my chinless chin but not with the visor down because that is like hav ing a massive fairing)

I am a beginner rider - about 6 months now - love it! I am small and I do feel like the bike is going to throw me off when going fast…ish.

Quite the opposite, the heavier the better at higher speeds. Heavy bikes are usually hard to control when going through slow turns.

I suggest getting a lower cc at first, maybe around 250cc would do you good

[@jeromeavila3195]

I'm impress with this bike! Love it❤!

[@_OpdeeMist]

Are you calling it a Bobber Black so you can charge more? The 2021 model got rid of the Bobber Black variant in 2021. They only have 1 model now which is basically the old Bobber Black extras (Brenbo Brakes, 47 inch Forks, cruise control, ….etc) however, they only call it the Triumph 2021 Bobber…. Not Black!

[@lazybonemotorcycles1527]

Nice video mate ! Can you do a Harley 48 :)

[@AndrewLane-pm2ro]

Why does Triumph Bobber weigh 34kg more than the Speed Twin 1200?

[@sunilvarmadatla]

Rear part from side looks out of place. Looks like rear part of the old classic bike is attach to street bike. Still Indian bobber looks well proportioned.

[@bfranco1519]

I have a 2019 Bobber with 19” front wheel and it sounds better than the newer ones. You should really address that Euro 5 compliant regulations are turning motorcycles into sissys. Motorcycles should sound cool not lame…

Pretty edition! Nice video. Dream bike.

[@Michaelem72]

[@noelcatanzaro3405]

I usually hate when factories try to imitate a custom bobber or true street fighter. They always butcher the whole concept. Not too bad on this one for triumph ? Hand built, high octane, hooligan machines !

I think the bobber is the most comfortable riding position for me. The slightly forward controls and footpegs are way better than the normal location where you cramp your legs. And the controls being too forward like inba chopper i find that I don't have as much control of the bike

[@grahampalmer9337]

Hmm. 900cc (max!) seems more than enough to me given the improvement in engine technology. 😕 And it doesn't sound that great. It's too quiet & the firing order doesn't 'inspire' emotion like it should. 🤨 So. That'll be after market 'shotguns' & revised engine geometry. 😒 Looks like I'll be spending my money on a custom build then. 👋
