New 2021 Triumph Bonneville Range Unveiled - Exploring all the changes

[@karlosh9286]

Good video :) I do like the red and silver 2 tone paint scheme on the T120, why can't they do something like that on the roadster triple range ? Hey even just the dark metallic red would be fine, the "cordovan" dark red from the bobber is nice, basically something other than shiny black or camouflaged grey. The blue on the street twin was pretty good too. It seems I must be in a minority, I like my Triumphs NOT to be black or grey. for the roadster range I think Triumph must have bought a massive amount of matt-grey, silver and black paint, or their chief artistic paint director keeps to like listening to the Rolling Stones "Paint it black". i.e. I see the red bike and I want to paint it black, No colours anymore I want them to turn black I see the Ducatis ride by dressed in their red clothes I have to turn my head Until my darkness goes I see a line of Triples and I've painted them all black ... sorry ! , I like brighter colours, even white with red high lights is okay !

[@mancavemoto]

Thanks Karlos. A good point well made, and I love the reworked lyrics! ;) The Cobalt Blue is lovely and would definitely be my pick in the Street Twin range.

[@karlosh9286]

@@mancavemoto Yeah the cobalt blue looks good, I could definitely be happy with that too. I was slightly interested in the Tiger Sport 1050s they're currently flogging off, but the ones available seem to be matt-silver-grey.

[@PaulBilton]

Amazing bikes! Triumph are really smashing it out of the park with their range at the moment, Brilliant.

[@leegingerninja]

That Street Twin gold line though👌🏻👌🏻

[@mancavemoto]

It's the Cobalt blue for me. I'm quite digging the T120 black and would love to strip one back to basics

[@leegingerninja]

@@mancavemoto not going to lie, when they first brought the bikes out and I see the blue street twin in first shot , I was like. Thats niceeeeeeee!! What a blue ! I'm like you. Love a blue bike 👌🏻👌🏻. Well, black. Blue .. and of course green 😜👌🏻😂😂

[@crocketgsxr6]

t-120 also sheds weight by removing the center stand and grab rail option as standard.They also got rid of the heated grips but hey you have cruise control now.

[@GrumpySpyder-Ryder]

Wow, you are right about this bringing back memories. I bought a Triumph Bonneville new back in 1966. It was an amazing bike to ride.

[@mancavemoto]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Shining_Whit]

Nice one Tony. I found you video easier to watch and more informative than the Triumph one! Looking forward to the Thruxton RS review.

[@mancavemoto]

Great to hear!

[@DarthFaded80]

Normally I'm not into paying a cent for appearances, but the matte black paint and hand-painted pinstriping on the Gold Line looks awesome! If they gave the bike upside-down forks in a non-scrambler package, I would seriously consider buying one. I have a 675R Daytona and I think it's amazing that Triumph makes so many different types of bike.

[@garyvesper9647]

Great video. They look great. Fantastic finish. Worth every penny

[@mancavemoto]

Cheers

[@damarine2808]

What about those gearbox and wiring problems? Any update guys?

[@mancavemoto]

I was under the impression that gearbox issues were down to a batch of faulty selector arms as opposed to an inherent design problem. The short wiring loom was dealt with by the recall notice

[@johnmartin7158]

@@mancavemoto You may very well be right. Possibly the T120 gearbox was also re designed.mine is 2019 so I am ok. NZ

[@andrewr6425]

Thanks Tony . I still love the Twin any especially the Blue. I would like to see a twin disc set up . I would still change the seat to a bench and mirrors to bar end but other than that it’s still a great bike .

[@mancavemoto]

You and me both!

[@gator809]

All those cuts at the end get to be a lot to absorb. Meanwhile, I'd love to see the Speed Twin get a sexier upgrade. A non-bench seat, better tank graphic and nicer suspension. Have they put to rest the brake squeak?

[@mancavemoto]

That was the Triumph footage I had to work with, obviously there was very little content available.

[@gator809]

@@mancavemoto Thanks for doing these videos.

[@gm2256]

That Street Twin Gold Line model is very nice. Also, I hate to see the red color go, but the blue they replaced it with is good looking too.

[@filmdetective]

Very cool... I’ve been wanting to ditch the headlight braket (painted black) on my first gen street twin, but didn’t want to go the third party route... could you maybe see if and how the new elements would be compatible with our street twin? And for how much... might be an idea for a video

[@mancavemoto]

I did look at using the mount from the Street Scrambler, BUT where it mounts on the 2016 Street Twin wasnt threaded like the SS. You could drill and tap the holes, but it seemed a bit of a faff. Particularly as the Motone bracket works so well.

[@alexred09]

I’m wondering if I can plop that seat onto my current street twin

[@mancavemoto]

I don't see why not, the frame hasnt changed, so as long as they havent messed with the latch system it should be a straight swap?

[@CaledoniaKeys]

Love the bikes. I was hoping to see the Thunderbird make a reappearance though. The Speedmaster is an awesome cruiser except it too could use a larger tank size to increase the range. Until then...loving my 2016 Triumph America!

[@wellyftw]

No update for the Speed Twin? No Speed Twin RS? Seems to be forgotten a bit by Triumph and it's one of their best looking and best performing bikes.

[@mancavemoto]

I think something will be coming later, they will want to spread the updates into the spiting/summer

[@jeremythomas6980]

Cheers Tony very informative, when are doing some more tiny tours?

[@mancavemoto]

Thanks Jeremy, I'm working on some, but lockdown hasnt helped!

[@efword1200]

Have they said USA prices anywhere yet?

[@mancavemoto]

I haven't seen anything yet

[@saddle8bag]

It's cool they put lighter aluminum rims on the T120, but what it really needs is a wider handlebar. The should really chrome the one they make for the Street Scrambler and bolt it on the T120.

[@mancavemoto]

Yep its about time

[@JimmySlacksack]

where's the Speed Twin?

[@YouMotorcycle]

May want to include at what RPMs the motors make that power, otherwise we don't know what the heck's going on. Other than that, great outline of the line up.

[@mancavemoto]

[@mancavemoto]

I agree, that is a lovely colour

[@johnmartin7158]

Hi ! Awesome vids. As I have a 2019 T120. The loss of weight is long overdue. Nissin brakes are ok, but brembo better. My biggest complaint is the weight as it is a bike that you can’t exactly chuck around a corner. Slightly extra foam won’t go amiss either. Auckland. NZ. John.

[@xorbe2]

You can get the same wight loss. Just remove the grab handle and center stand like the 2021 model.

[@mancavemoto]

Cheers John

[@mancavemoto]

Some weight loss, not the same weight loss. Its the changes to the engone that will make the bike feel different

[@neilsmithers6979]

Great bike but..... have they finally upgraded the potentially catastrophically failing gearbox which has been the ticking time bomb of the previous models?

[@mancavemoto]

I thought they had done that? I believe it was down to a poor batch of fork selector arms?

[@marcbranchaud4408]

Why hasn’t Triumph announced that the gearbox issue has been addressed? They released a TSB for the replacement part but haven’t even said that will rectify the issue or how it has been rectified. A case of if we don’t say there is an issue then they are not on the hook for it. Sad really.

[@splodge57]

Er no other bike, inc. BMW, has had a problem? Some singing the same old song.

[@neilsmithers6979]

I guess all products will naturally have a percentage of problems during their lifecycle, hopefully many of which will be overcome during the design evolution. BMW have certainly had many problems but a company can be judged not so much on what problems they have but how they handle them and how they treat their customers and in the instance regarding the Triumph gearbox reported by Mr Fillingham, Triumph handled the issue in a worrying manner. Hopefully that was an isolated incident and they have learnt from their mistakes and will value all future customers.

The updates to the T100 now mean it still costs extra, but it's no longer paying for looks and getting less performance/brakes/etc than the Street Twin it shares an engine with. I still wouldn't pick it over the Street Twin, instead going to the T120 if I want that look, but it's not the, er, 'less than ideal' purchase it has been for the past couple years.

[@rickducharme7429]

I do like that blue Street Twin, but in terms of aesthetics the first year is still the best imo (except for the headlight/speedo bracket). The side covers keep getting tortured, and keep getting worse; the last model's wheels were a visual disaster, so by default the new wheels are much better, but still not as good as the originals. All the other changes are improvements, but we'll still need to see how the new Euro compliant plumbing works in the real world for instance - we look forward to your ride review. Thanks for the update. Stay safe, Tony, they're really out to get us this time! Cheers!

I don't get it. Why would you spend almost £10k on a classic, plus accessories, when you could spend half that on a RE Interceptor and have plenty of cash to mod it if you were inclined to do so?

[@splodge57]

You're comparing a 1200cc bike with a 650cc. I think the 900cc Street Twin is better value than the RE when you compare the complete bike. Pays your money and takes your choice but you can't go wrong with either.

[@timgomez1084]

@@splodge57 you have to define what a classic means to you. But to me it means a bike that's a classic style and blank slate. Something I can adapt and personalise to suit my riding style and my personality. Despite my years of experience with motorbikes I would be afraid to take a spanner to the modern triumphs. When I look at the RE I know that I can strip that down with confidence and put it back together again. I know that I can uprate and customise that bike any way I want. I also know that I can buy a brand new bike, an engine remap, new tyres, suspension and luggage. Then still have at least £1200 spare compared to the cost of a street twin at £8200. Surely that makes more sense than buying an "out of the box" modern classic?

[@splodge57]

They all make sense to me. I've owned Norton, Triumph, BSA and now a 2001 Kawasaki W650. But would I like a new Street Twin in the Blue and Silver? Sure would and it looks good value to me at £8400.

[@billycaspersghost7528]

And it still would not be a 900cc bike with 65bhp. Take out your calculator and work out the £/cc for the RE and the Street Twin .. they are about the same. I like the RE but the Triumph is a better bike. I have ridden them both and would only have bought the RE if I could not have afforded the Triumph. I bought a Moto Guzzi and solved the problem
