The Triumph Bobber | Even More Special Than I Imagined!

With thanks to Tenerife on Triumph motorcycle rentals ( www.tenerifeontriumph.com ) for lending me the Bobber! Prices are €140 a day, or €120 a day if booking for three days plus.
The day finally came- I had the chance to test out the Triumph Bobber!
I had a few hours to decide what’d be my pick between the Triumph Bobber and the Indian Scout Bobber, and also the Triumph Speedmaster .
And how would this heavy, modern classic bobber, with low ground clearance handle, and would it actually be fun!
I hope you enjoy it!

I really like the bobber, I am planning to test ride one. However, I have sat on one and felt that it might be a bit small for me, felt a little cramped. I could spend all day at a dealership and test ride everything, I'm sure it would really annoying the employees

[@andrewkay114]

I know exactly what you mean, I sat on a Bobber for the first time a couple of weeks ago and found it very cramped but it didn't have the forward foot controls which do make a world of difference 👍

[@ElliotDooleysmith]

@@andrewkay114 that is true about the forward controls. I don't recall if the one I sat on had forward controls or not, thinking probably not.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Very good points! Adam (the owner) put on ape bars and forward foot controls specifically to make the bike less cramped and I promise you it absolutely transforms the feeling of size on the bike. For me at 6’1, it feels perfect- the first thing I’d do if I bought one is apes and forward foot controls. I know apes are polarising, but I do love them and they give you much more space🙂👌🏻

[@ElliotDooleysmith]

@@FreddieDobbs yes agreed. I can imagine with the Apes & forward controls it really makes a difference. And for this bike they both look so damn good, this type of bike is exactly where those mods are at home. I'm a fan of the aesthetic of apes, been considering them for my Harley, however, as it's my own mode of transport I'm not sure I'd want that for long journeys all the time. I would imagine your arms must ache after awhile? At 6'2" myself I do value your insights on these matters 👍

I'm a Scout Bobber owner, and I've been binge watching your videos. I absolutely love your enthusiasm and joy and excitment for the bikes you show. My favorite Triumph Bobbers are the ones prepared by Thornton Hundred, they are out of this world and TBH if the Scout Bobber didn't exist I would already be on one of these. Thank you and Monica for all this content you guys make, your sheer excitment is contagious and I also love the fact that you include clothes styling & lifestyle into your videos. Cheers and ride safe !

[@johnedwards6148]

Honestly my favourite bike review ever. All the details of why we love our bikes. Thanks man.

[@FELiPES101]

Honestly this might be the pinnacle of cool at the moment. The stance, look, sound, and performance all work well overall and for the pricepoint. I suppose the only problem arises if you have a partner.

[@mowgli6345]

The price point? A bobber is supposed to be a cheap bare bones parts bin bike that anyone can build by taking popular old models and removing everything until only the essentials are left. Most bobbers aren't even supposed to have a rear suspension or mud guards. Triumph basically just imitated the look, added modern technology, and charged 15k for it. This is overpriced hipster garbage. You're literally paying for something that LOOKS like a bobber.

[@bobjohnson1633]

No, you're literally paying for the speed master with a solo seat swapped for looks.

[@Nuri_91]

I'm just getting into bikes and discovering all these great channels all about motorbikes and I have to say, you have a very calm, yet exciting way of showing things off that puts you in the top 3 at least. Great video!

[@stephencooper5040]

The way you describe this motorcycle makes it abundantly clear that you have a profound appreciation for beauty. The result of well executed fine craftsmanship is often more beautiful than most modern “art.” It is rare indeed that a thing can be beautiful, cool, and functional. The Bonnie bobber is obviously all three of these things.

[@petezxr]

Great riding with you, sorry if I was distracting you 😉. For the record, I did buy replacements for those pegs 😂

[@thejudgehasjudged]

I got stuck on the diesel price at 1 euro a litre! £1.48 in Blighty!!!! Oh nice vid too

I love the excitement in your voice and the passion you have for this bike. Great video, Freddie. I’m always going on about Zard, and they don’t disappoint on this machine!

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks very much Conor!🙂. You were absolutely right- best exhaust I’ve heard!

[@alfiedog2942]

Been riding my bobber with gusto throwing it around for the last 2 years and rarely scrape the pegs . Probably the best fun bike I’ve owned. Great video

The Triumph every time Freddie! Super cool and not plastic looking like the Indian.

[@gavinwood8431]

The triumph bobber came to my attention by pure accident, and in doing so, I felt the need to look it up on KZbin, and found your video. Freddie, I absolutely love your enthusiastic honest opinion, which clearly came straight from the heart. These are the kind of reviews that would make a consumer want to buy. You’ve certainly helped put it on my number one list, so thanks mate.

[@TheGorillaBull]

I bought the Triumph Bobber last year, no regrets. I'm in love and will never sell it! ❤

[@monkeydust100]

im thinking about getting one, but i looked at one saturday (wasnt allowed to sit on it) and it looked abit cramped ,the sit and foot peg position. im only 5.10

[@michaelmuncy8136]

[@jabjab1010]

I agree with other posters, Monika not only has a great professional eye for these videos, but I love her inputs, giggles, etc. she knows she has a big kid to keep in control. Good fun and well done.

[@richardt.4224]

I'm a UK ExPat now living in NZ. I have riden Triumphs 50 odd years and at 70, I still ride one. When the Bobber came out, I though Wow, what a great looking bike. Sadley when I saw the engine capacity my heart sank. For a single person cruiser, there is no need for such big CC's. But it does allows Triumph to put on a higher price tag. Something that confused me in your video, you priced the bike in POUNDS. But you are clearly not in the UK, unless Britain is now driving on the right side! Otherwise a good video, THANX.

[@bobjohnson1633]

This is the same bike as their full sized cruiser that holds two up with a backrest and saddlebags. They just put a solo seat on it instead. Probably cheaper than designed another bike

[@MrJlk1973]

When I watch this video for the 1st time i knew this bobber black was my next bike.😎👍👍👍

Hey Freddie, im a member of the Triumph Owners NZ Inc club . What a great video , loved it , you are so right . i have personaly changed my 2016 Rocket Roadster for a 2022 Speedmaster (1200 HT motor. ) Same motor as the Bobber . I find the Speed Master so good to ride , plenty of power and torque like the rocket for a 1200 cc HT motor , Weight to power is awsome Congratulation Triumph well done . My good friend Carro rides a Bobba , and Helen a T120 . Your review is spot on mate cheers GlennMac

[@Vegesaurus7]

Love this bike it just looks so good. I’d go for this over the scout any day.

Brown leather is an option

[@joel.rundle]

Freddie, I come back to this review every few months coz the bobber is my dream bike. However, with a toddler in the house and hopes for a second one day soon I can’t justify the cost at the moment but one day, it will be mine. That being said, I’ve tried desperately to get one for a test ride but there are none anywhere! Can’t even find them to hire!

[@andrewkay114]

The Triumph all day long for me but the forward foot controls are an absolute must, at 6 foot 1" tall it is unrideable without them. Looks sooo cool😎 and those exhausts transform the bike 🥺

[@FreddieDobbs]

Thanks for the input Andrew- I’m glad you’ve said this because I feel exactly the same- it really would be an essential mod in my book! If I bought the Speedmaster, I’d also do this🙂

[@theowaigel8588]

Well I disagree about the apes and the forward controls I am 183 cm so that's around 6 foot. I can go all day on my 2017 bobber without that American style stuff. Did not want a HD so why mock up a genuine British bike (made in Thailand) as a HD copy... Just saying..

Very nice vlog Freddie, i’ll have to look once more. Got distracted by the fuel prices…🙄👍

[@marcverdi665]

Another excellent video, Freddie and Monica! The Triumph Bobber is the bobber to get in my opinion, although I am going for the Speedmaster to have the two-up riding option, as well as the super-comfy seat! Freddie, watching your final thoughts on the Bobber, I was out-of-this-world impressed with the fact that you did that all in one take! While watching you, I kept thinking, ‘Freddie is a consummate pro!’ Literally all those thoughts conveyed brilliantly all at once. Incredible! Also, you are spot-on about those of us looking at the new modern classics, quite the nitpicky lot indeed! Along those lines, twice in the video you commented on looking for a fit-and-finish squabble that you may have and could not find one, and I agree that the fit and finish on these new Tiumphs are superb. But I was reminded of your comment you made in your Speedmaster review video, and it was the only one squabble: the rear signal design was plastic instead of metal. And I agree 100% with that critique; it would really make a difference if it were metal like the front and rear mudguards. That’s a small critique, but I am one of those nitpicky ones. :-) Brilliant as always. Cheers!

[@tonychuter4830]

Yes yes yes I love that you said I'm parking this right outside the cafe so people can see it fantastic.....

[@user-tm9ho3bm4v]

Heard that the suspension has way too little travel,never rode one but I absolutely love the looks. Between this the sportster and the scout I think this wins due to how RAW it looks.

[@chetlyp]

The suspension has no travel, lol. Riding over a tiny pothole knocks the fear of God into you. I should know, I'm going in 4 months with mine. But I love it!!!

[@MrOpinionatedOne]

I have a 2018 Bobber Black. I ride it to biker destinations all the time. There are shinier bikes, faster bikes, more powerful bikes in attendance. But I have noticed as I observe discreetly, the one bike that the riders always talk about is mine. It is absolutely stunning to look at. I haven't done a single thing to it. Perfect right out of the box. The only gripe I have is the tiny fuel tank.

[@kevinpick194]

I ride a 2018 Triumph Speedmaster and would have a Bobber in a heartbeat.... nothing to choose between them. And you are right, scraping your pegs does take a bit of getting used to, but never a biggie - if you remember the peg bends up on a spring and you are not going to dig into the ground and be fired off the bike. But do back off a bit - as that is what the lean angle indicator is there for.

[@BFSilenceDogood]

That's a great looking bike. The floating seat is so freaking cool. A kickstart would put it over the top.

[@billleeee]

Another great video, Freddie. This is the only moto content my wife will even watch, let alone enjoy. I test rode the Bobber Black before settling on my T120 Black, but I had the same initial impression of the Bobber you did. The handling was surprisingly good, especially in the corners. Probably good to note that this was a Bobber Black and not the regular Bobber. While some of the differences are cosmetic, the front wheel and tire are a different size, which definitely improves the handling for the Black. And the Black has two front disc brakes compared to one for the standard. At 5’8”, the apes would be a bit tall for me, but Motone makes a nice 1” up and 1” back riser, which would probably do the trick for me.

[@taichung465]

My neighbor has that exact same bike, a 2019 Triumph Bobber in all black, but with standard bars. He parks it next to my V-max in our underground garage. and regularly scrapes the pegs as he makes the 90 degree righthand turn up the garage ramp. At a height of 170cm (5ft 7), he says the seat height is just perfect for him. He says the only drawback is that the servicing costs are incredibly high here in Korea.

Fantastic looking bike. I think the new Bobber (2022) has a bigger fuel tank than that model. So many choices, and I went for the T120 (delighted with it), but almost went for the Speedmaster with the flat handlebar fitted. Lovely video. Thanks for sharing.

This for me, over the Indian. But without apes. Having said that, I would get the Speedmaster for more practicality unless I could have multiple bikes.

[@SQTierHog]

I actually believe that people appreciate when a motorcycle does not take up a parking space. I've parked up on sidewalks out front of stores and restaurants and have never received a complaint. Dobbs is correct here, The bike needs to be close up, not only where he can admire it, but others as well. Plus, I ain't leaving my bike that far away from me. Good call Mr Dobbs!

[@78Outlaw]

It was the launch of the Triumph Bobber that got me back into bikes after 25yrs and build Lil Lemmy. I then had a Victory Octane (the hot rod 110hp cousin of the Scout) and loved that bike 😎 before I got the Rocket 🚀 . For me the Scout motor takes it but love the looks of the Bobber which has slightly better torque low down and better brakes, sounds great etc. The more comparable version is the Scout ‘Sixty’ Bobber, 😎

I had a Triumph America and swapped it for a Rocket III Roadster. Beautiful bikes America's (I modified loads of things on mine; white walls, mini ape's, new air box, new exhaust, power commander V, SAI delete, Maverick customs solo seat); but it was always missing that little extra bit of power I found. It should have been a 1200 like the new Speedmaster and the Bobber and then I'd probably have kept it.

Deffo Triumph Bobber for me. It gives me a special feeling already just by looking at it. Since I’ve owned the T100 black, this Triumph Bobber feels very familiar when I look at its engine and other details. The only thing I don’t like about this particular one in your video is the Zard exhaust. The original ones look way better and suit the bike more. But I guess you’ve got to make a choice whether you choose the sound or the look. Anyway, well done to the owner he really did a great job here.

[@footnotedrummer]

In my humble opinion... this bike offers more than the Indian Scout does. Simply having a dual Brembo front disc system is worth going the Triumph route. Indian is a single caliper front brake system. I personally really like the hidden rear shock system better than the exposed system on the Indian.

the most mesmerizing thing about this video is the 1.08€ price for a liter of diesel. Danke Merkel! Edit: I ordered a Triumph Speed Twin 1200 `22 in Jet Black for next season.

Great video Freddie, the best. That Bobber is sweet! It's on my short list. I think Triumph has put more engineering Into their motorcycle's than the other Bobber's. This factory motorcycle is better than any garage custom. You and your camera girl put an excellent video together. Btw, I liked the diner part. It did need to be seen.
