First Ride of 2024 on a Triumph Bonneville T120

[@billumberson9453]

That's a long video that I'm sure some folks will find a bit boring. However, I loved it! I'm a 64 year old guy who is trying to make a purchase decision on my last forever bike. The T120 has been one of my top contenders. Your video sealed the deal! I'm going to go buy one!

I have loved every mile I have put on my Triumph, I think you will be happy

You won’t regret it 😊

Hi. Same age same problem 😂

[@KRColson]

What a coincidence! I'm a 69 year old and have been watching videos for the past three weeks trying to decide on selling my Versys 650 and getting the T120. I'm very close to pulling the trigger on the Bonnie! Cheers!

Beautiful PORTLAND

I could not stop looking at the sky. I love the summer when the sky is just blue and there is never a cloud, but I also love this time of year. The light coming through the clouds was wonderful. Unfortunately commuting is commuting so it can be difficult to appreciate the Pacific Northwest when one is stuck in traffic. 😁

Portland Maine or Portland Oregon?

Gravel? They put down gravel and not sand? Wow. That sounds nuts to a midwesterner.

@@dhovious6247 “We recover as much as 75% of the gravel we lay down for reuse.” According to the city so I think it is cheap

How is the throttle at slow speeds? I heard it’s twitchy but doesn’t look like it at all in your video.

Like with any bike it took a moment to get used to. If you are in 1st and you completely take your hand off the throttle and just allow the idling engine to move the bike it can be a little twitchy. But if you just keep a small amount of throttle on it moves very smoothly at slow speeds. And the weight distribution on the bike is phenomenal so I do not find slow speeds to be a problem.
