The Ol' Man reviews the new 2023 Triumph Bonneville T120 Black, Modern Classic Motorbike.
Filmed in stunning locations, this review gets to the essence of the Bonneville. Like it's smaller brother, the T100, the T120 with the 1200cc engine, is a beautiful looking, minimalistic design, that also packs a power punch when you need it.
If you're trying to get your head around the modern classic's, particularly the Triumph Bonnevilles, then this video may answer your questions.
As always, we try to avoid listing specifications, other than power, torque and price, but get to the emotive elements that a spec sheet cannot provide.

Spot on your assessment of this bike I absolutely concur with you,👌 I just love the retro clocks the exhaust sound from the 60s it’s a keeper for me and finally I love the big round headlight as it’s in keeping with the classic look, great review biker buddy 👍🏻😊

Exhaust sound from the 60’s? Man, in the 60’s Triumphs had 360 degree crankshafts and they sounded entirely different than current Triumphs, which have 270 degree cranks. Current ones sound more like a V-twin.

​@@dawidos117absolutely spot on. Your obviously someone who knows what they're talking about. It never fails to amaze me how many so called motorcycle fans haven't got a clue about the proper sound of an old school 360' parallel twin and automatically think these modern 270' motors are the sound of the the old bikes. The only thing I can say is Triumph did make the Bonneville with a 360' crank up until the 2017 model year then changed to 270' for various reasons but at the cost of the proper sound 😢

If I was thinking about getting a T120, you just told me everything I want to hear 😂. But lucky me, I already own a 2018 T120 black. Bought new back then and absolutely love it. It’s my soul-machine. Takes me around my local scenic roads, long distance across Australia, puts a smile on my face. Probably similar how you feel about your beautiful R18.

Just picked up this exact model in May and have nearly 3000 miles on it. My main commute is on the interstate and the bike has no issues overtaking. There are times I am able to comfortably ride at highway speeds in the 4th gear (if the wind is hitting me right). My only complaints are how spongy and soft the front forks are when braking. My next upgrade is definitely going to be progressive fork springs because it really catches me off guard how quick and easily the front end dips when braking or taking sharp corners. Aside from that I have not ridden a bike more fun than this and highly recommend it to anyone on the fence.

I feel a lump in my throat. I rode a T120 Bonneville (650 4-gear) in the 1960's here in Australia. And it rode just as you describe here in your video. It would burble happily around the city (Brisbane) and was very maneuverable, or take off leaving almost everyone else in the dust if you changed down and grabbed a fistful of revs. It had a certain feel on the road. It was extremely responsive and I hardly ever needed to use full throttle to really accelerate and fly. With the 360 crank it was very low engine vibration. When my mates and I swapped bikes for fun at times they were green with envy at how silky the ride was. Especially the owners of the new Japanese bikes that were taking over. I don't know how anyone put up with the 180 crank japanese twin. Much worse than a single. They made your hands go numb. But that was then, perhaps they are better now. From your review I would say this new T120 is not just retro in looks. I want to tell you that all the fine riding features you describe in this video were there in my 1964 - 650 Triumph T120. The new one appears to have a near identical frame/forks/trailing-arm architecture and riding position. What a magical thing that the modern iteration has captured so well the deep spirit of the original Bonnevilles. I am very impressed and not a little moved. Still have my license but haven't ridden for years. I would so love to take one out for a run. I can tell from your ride and its note that I would be at one with it in minutes, and that's not just sentiment. I used to take my girlfriend out on it. We are still married. I really miss my old Bonnie, but am staggered that it has been reincarnated - better than ever.

My triumph does everything as you said and does it with a style. It is a time machine as well as physically takes you to places it transcends in time back to golden eras of motorcycling and makes you feel in the same league as the legends. That is how I feel about it.

You can do it! I'm 40, suffer from chronic fatigue (CFS) among other chronic health conditions that get in the way. It's been a slow way back into motorcycling this year after a 20 year break. Often can't ride for weeks at a time. But month by month it feels better, I'm more at ease, more in control. There are so many ways to ride. Different stances. Different distances, different riding styles, etc. At the moment it's just short outings in the local hills for me. I'm very happy with my decision.

i got a '22 t120 last year. just an all around great bike. first major purchase i ever made without the hint of buyers remorse. comfortable with a very smooth engine that sounds great 'out of the box'. you can also get on it as it handles well and has good torque. i have gotten so many compliments on it. here in the states, you usually see HDs then JP Sport bikes. so folks will double look at it. first look, they probably assume it is a HD b/c of the classic look and second look, they see it is a triumph. some older folks will tell me how they had one back in the 60s or 70s.

I had an 18 T120 - best upgrade was the FOX piggy back rear adjustable shocks and Progressive front fork springs. It really planted the bike and made less bouncy, especially on country back roads. The stock headlight was terrible - upgraded to a Motodemic LED and was much better. I also installed a Motone X pipe and BC Predator Pro slip ons and it really woke the bike up and would really turn heads.

There are retros that provide a very retro experience, they are meant for those who have no desire to 0-60 in the 3s or 1/4 mile in the 11s. The T120 is not one of those. It is a fast world class motorcycle in a retro suit. I have a few friends with them and I have a Thruxton (lighter, more hp but 1200cc). The engine is a gem, the 6th gear is so welcomed, the torque curve power delivery and handling put it a step apart. Triumph has succeeded.

Only things I don't like are length of gear lever with size 12 boots and 600 trip for dealer service, need to investigate service options after warranty. I believe dealer needs to reset service spanner which appears on clock, time to get riding....cheers

One aspect that is implied, rather than stated is the visceral pleasure of riding the T120 within the speed limits. I had a Kawa Z1000 and that engine was always egging me on to let it rip, like a hyperactive teenager, couldn't enjoy getting into the groove with the motor at the nominal speed limits, so unlike with the T120, with its beautiful baritone beat. The other aspect is the delightful handling IMO of the current T120 setup.

After owning an Aprilia Tuono 1100, and a Kawasaki ZX14RR, then selling them both on account of my bad back, this T120 (or T100) might just be the perfect bike. I've never sat on a more comfortable bike, and low RPM twin torque is awesome. I loved it on my old SV650, but these probably have even more low RPM grunt.

I got a 2022 T120. at 5'6" I find it pretty comfortable, I can't quite flat foot it, but it's not far. I use it to get to and from work about 20 miles each way in an area where people drive very fast (normal highway speeds are 70-90 MPH). I can easily keep up with traffic and still get fairly good gas mileage. the biggest issue I have found is the downshift keeps breaking, but I think the latest repair I did at the cycle shop seems to have fixed that issue.

I always enjoy your laid back stile reviews. I would like Triumph to stop messing around and put cruse control on all their models. The T-100 would be ideal or the Tiger Sport if they had cruse.. in San Diego the Triumph dealer has an good selection and one must get up close to see the fit and finish. Works of art.

Really interested to see what you say here, because you practically described the T120 in your Scrambler 1200 review when describing things you’d change I’ve got a soft spot for T120 Blacks because it’s like a comfortable Bobber with better handling and fuel range 👍

Superb motorcycle by a legendary brand, I loved my 2022. It was a joy in every way. There are a ton of accessories available by Motone and others, I yanked the ridiculous Mickey mouse mirrors (my only gripe) before I left the dealership and replaced them with Triumph bar ends from the showroom which are perfect for this beauty.

Bar ends don't suit this type of bike

I have a T120 Black. It's a complete joy to own. It is a go-anywhere machine (on the roads), and it lazily thumps along without complaint. No regrets in buying it. However, I am looking at a Himalayan for a 2nd bike. Not for any reason other than to keep my T120 pristine, and do a bit more gnarly stuff and bad weather touring on a small capacity bike. The perfect duo if you ask me. 👌

As for the heat, my 900 heat cycles mainly on the right side off and on. I just slightly move my knee out a little and let the heat escape and it cools down.

I have one and commute 45 miles each way to work on it on a mixture of country lanes, city traffic and motorway. It averages 70mpg on the motorway, is great in busy traffic, comfy for long distance, bags of torque to make riding easy, fast enough for fun on weekends, looks perfect (imo), great for a pillion, small enough to manoeuvre in and out of garage. Tonnes of modifications available. Good for touring with lots of stylish luggage options. It's an incredibly versatile bike The bad bits: Headlight is equivalent to holding a candle infront of your face and barely lights the road. It's a naked bike so commuting at motorway speed is noisy. Expensive to buy. Recommended modifications: Decat- stops the heat and makes it run and sound better. Performance exhaust makes its sound 100× better with better performance. Performance air filter to sound and run better. Sissy bar- really difficult to push bike out of garage only using the bench seat, the bar gives you something to push against. Spoked wheels are difficult to clean. Not tubeless wheels and tyres

Nearly all bikes are fun ridden fast. The T120 is the rare bike that's also a pleasure to ride slow. Let the countryside roll by, give it extra in those nice turns, and you'll forget the spec sheet and nonessential tech along with your worries.

I'd like to improve the exhaust on my 2020 Bud Ekins edition, but the sound is so perfect the way it is that I'd hate to ruin it. One must be very circumspect with changes to the bike because it is so beautiful in its stock condition.

Another option is to buy the previous generation air-cooled Bonnevilles -- I had a Thruxton 900 -- and look at the aftermarket: lovely brushed aluminum fenders and side panels are available as is darn near everything else you could want. About the same HP as the water-cooled 900s and so more than the Royal Enfield. You don't have to be a racer to need some horse power once in a while -- I had a Moto Guzzi V7 and got rid of it because it simply lacked any ommph.

great vid with all the details I was looking for. Great sound too (stock exhaust?). I liked the transition at 4:35... very funny. I'm the same size and was wondering if I can fit on this. I have a HD 48 at the moment, but I want something more classic and with an extra seat available.
