Is the Triumph T120 the perfect motorcycle for older riders?

I lost 25 lbs. sold my large, heavyweight cruiser and bought a smaller motorcycle, a Triumph T120 so I could keep riding past 70! I hope to inspire you to do the same and fight back against growing old.

I'm 72 and bought my 2016 Triumph T120 new. It's the best all-around bike I ever had. It's powerful, but never heavy or intimidating. Congratulations!

Couldn't agree more!

Me too. Recently took my riders training class, got the license and a new Triumph T120 at age 66. I sold the previous motorcycle 46 years ago. I’m having to learn everything over again and it’s a blast!

This is really good to hear. I'm 67 and thinking about starting to ride next year as a beginner.

[@naturalforlife6741]

I'm also 70. I ride a 2022 Heritage, 2018 sportster, 2015 XT250, and a 2023 ZX4RR. I have taken care of my body and diet. I have a video for older and younger people how to stay in shape and eating to loose weight.

I always call them Standard bikes because they are upright position and are easy to control compared to a cruiser. I have had more falls on cruisers than standards so I dislike crusers. Triumph makes the best retro standards bikes. Top quality finish. but watch out for the premium repair cost. But in my opinion Triumph makes the most handsome bikes today. And buddy that one is handsome bike. congrats!

63 y/o riding an FJR1300 - love it. At some point I may need a lighter bike . . . .fight against the dying of the light !

[@billesbacon]

[@ridingonabudget]

I'm 77 and ride a 12 year old Harley. I do a lot to keep my strength up to be able to handle a heavy bike. I appreciate your comments, dang it I'd hate to give up running boards...LOL!

[@ridingonabudget]

I hear ya. I rode running boards for most of my life and love the heel/toe shifters. But that time comes for us all when we either stop riding or get a more manageable motorcycle. Glad you liked the video hope you subscribe.

Hi, like the videos, I'm retired and have heart problems bin riding 50 yrs now. Had all kind of bikes my wife last year for my birthday bought me one of the new Royal Enfield Classic 350. I had older Royal Enfield bike and have a old military Enfield I'm restoring. Once getting the new classic 350 sold my Suzuki. This classic 350 is such a pleasure to ride my wife same day bought herself the meteor 350 then she sold her Vulcan 900 classic. She's really enjoying riding much more.both bikes are getting 81 mpg highway and around 100 mpg city we both cruise highway around 65 mph. I find I don't need the big CC bikes and doing over a 100 mph anymore. I'll keep riding even if they have to duck tape me to the seat. My bike was 52 hundred out the door. I'm back to smaller cc bikes just as I started come full circle lol.

[@ridingonabudget]

I'm 70 now and sold my big cruiser to buy the T120. Best decision I ever made. I does seem us older riders are coming full circle with the smaller bikes. I started on a Honda SL 350, had five Harleys and numerous, Yamahas and Hondas. Now I'm back on a "smaller" lighter bike and loving it. Guess I'm completing the circle of life. Thanks for the comment and I hope you subscribed.
