The Biggest & Baddest Bonneville Modern Classic! Triumph Scrambler XE Goldline Review in Stunning HD

[@craigwilson8228]

I'd say your taking motorcycle reviews to a whole new level.

[@midnightmc3096]

A Classic - Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! We must demand thirty seven or more riding modes. The truly bizarre thing is that your wit, dry humor and sarcasm is one of THE things that makes your and Mr. Darcy's channel enjoyable. So it's beyond me how people wouldn't get that. I look forward to every surly bit against overbearing UK licensing oversights and so on : ) From California ~ Ride Forever.

[@parismilner5047]

These guys deserve a lot more attention, best motorcycle reviews on yt in my opinion.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. Much appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼

[@richardgitz2264]

Nice real-world review that doesn't take itself too seriously which is appreciated. Noticed the camera work and editing has been taken to the next level. Lovely work, thank you.

[@Michael-dz9vk]

Good see another bike review ,your reviews are allways honest ,and thorough with a good sense of humour too,keep up the good work, mick

[@comradeyars]

I've watched virtually every Scrambler 1200 review on KZbin, and have come back to your XC/XE reviews multiple times. I will likely be picking up an XC next week. I very much appreciate your insight. Thanks.

[@zeve1322086]

One of the great things about watching the Old Man is how an apparent stereotype of the Big Bad Biker can show such good humor. I bet hes a great guy to have a beer with.

[@ThirdMonarch]

actually cackled at the irony alert, after watching your videos for years, it still kills me the people that can't figure out the sarcasm. that was brilliant

[@Unnamed29_]

I love your style of making video and also the way you explain everything. Good luck man cheers .

[@fauveride]

I bought this 2 months ago and it’s amazing. It's an all-round great bike, and I'm very satisfied with both city and long-distance driving. I know the price is enough to buy several Royal Enfield, but the excellent appearance, quality, sound, everything makes me happy. I'm 6 feet tall and I can't get both feet on the ground completely, but I can stop with stability on one foot. It goes without saying that the exhaust heat has been significantly reduced since the Euro 5 model. This bike can be said to be an adv bike in the shape of a scrambler. You can significantly increase your payload with the Unit Garage Pannier, and I am doing just that. The competitors of this bike is neither the RnineT nor the Ducati Scrambler. Comparison should be correct with africa twin, desert x, etc.

[@donaldsoncole3095]

Sharp bike with a unique style that draws a lot of jealousy! It appears that the comments are clueless haters ! This is an athletic bike that commands a certain amount of attention when operating! I want one !!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ftby59mikeD]

Hilarious stuff those riding mode set ups!...the tank is reminiscent of early Huskys, I like it. Glad Darcy's recovered, looking forward to his upcoming content.

[@deanchild9848]

"This is the Adventure Bike for cool People" best line ever, great review

[@davidpersson986]

Irony and humour - I loved this review!

[@TriumphLover]

🤣 MotoBob! Thought you were going to say TMF again! Great review as always! Maybe the XC is for me.

[@iivaridark6850]

Nice video! And a reminder of good night from the 2 Ronnies, the best comedy!

[@andyhorsfall9394]

Great review, I appreciate your humour..I think you're right about buying bikes as well, I've been thinking the same.

[@Fogeljazz]

Motobob's knickers 🤣 Loved the TMF joke as well. Excellent review, btw

[@Jack_Aubrey]

Love your style, man.

[@benkelly2190]

Love the look of this bike. I’m seriously considering this over my GS. Tours are few and far between, now. This would suit my needs, with the odd, 2/3 day tour. Great review, matey.

[@johnlaw5762]

I just find these videos so amusing. 14:50 and the MOTOBOB dig 😂 Oh and I think there was a nice bike in there as well

[@SQTierHog]

ROFL The Ol' Man going through the modes! This is absolutely brilliant stuff! Showing the donkey, etc, lol.

[@erwin4501]

Loved the mode bit, hilarious !!

[@pauldavis8421]

I absolutely love this channel ! please keep up the humour and irony ! Love it !

[@sdefiel3719]

_"Oh dear! Somebody go get Pops! He's stuck on the bike again, messin' wiff the 'lectrics!"_ Man, that's a bu'ful bike. Man, that's a cool vid. Thanks again, S

[@markbikersfit]

Thanks enjoyed the review made me chuckle 😂👍🏻🏍️

[@SQTierHog]

Love The Ol' Man's one- liners.. "The adventure bike for cool people." Lol. Yup.

[@chrisbarnes9260]

Thanks for posting this great review. You are fast becoming my favourite reviewer. Please keep up the irony alerts as they are great. Best wishes from Australia

[@2cwaves432]

loving the alerts keep them please your my go to channel for honest reviews

[@petergrundy8081]

Love the Ol'Man reviews

[@stephensaunders4668]

Your presentation of of your profile sitting on the bike is something many other omit. Well done.

[@solentmotorbiketours9545]

I like bikes with the "NO MODE" function myself and what a bonus that the bike you tested comes with the MOTOBOB Knicker accessory 🤣

[@justinchampion5468]

Good gods that's a lovely scram... Too bad there are no dealerships for Triumph, Royal Enfield, BMW, or even Indian or Harley within 150 miles of me! LOL. Oh well. Thanks again for another awesome ride-review, the production quality and honesty in your vids makes them an automatic watch when they come out.

[@yolandeportor6800]

Love watching your videos

[@0HARE]

Thanks for a good, informative review of the bike. I have one on order, and am very looking forward to taking delivery. Happy Trails

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Great enjoy your bike when it arrives 👍🏼

[@ianh9871]

Another great review boss, on bike filming is superb

[@homegrowndrone2804]

Beautiful machine. The ‘jumbo sausage moment’ !!! 😂 Keep up the good work. 🇬🇧👍

[@milesdavis8665]

Man that bike really fits you well. Love the videos!!!

[@Big_DT]

Glad you added the 'Irony Warnings' for all the jackasses out there. .

[@michaelwatts224]

Loving the irony! More please😆

[@ivanmask6470]

The size of the sausage is perfect!)))😂😂😂 Good job Old Man!!

[@danielmcneil3004]

Good review and I’m in total agreement regarding modes - too many. I’m a proponent of the KISS method - keep it simple stupid… BTW, enjoyed the Two Ronnies reference at the end of the video. Showing my age now. Cheers and safe riding. Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦

[@christoff8750]

Good review…thorough and the added humor was great. Appreciate the view of you just sitting on the bike so we riders can size up the bike. I’m also 6’2” and often look silly on smaller bikes. I think you fit perfect so that is promising. Thanks again for the review.

[@lancerbiker5263]

Nice bike. Great sound. High pipes are no small feature on a scrambler. We had a 1970 Honda 450 scrambler back in 73. I like 2 modes, stop and go. Clutch, brakes and throttle offer infinite control. I also agree with you re TFT.

[@mikejarvis3035]

Great review, I got a 'non-goldline' one in Feb and currently think it's one of the best I've had (8 months later). I'm about your size, maybe a bit 😬 fatter, and find the bike fits me well. I have to disagree with you and most of the commenters, I LOVE the gold forks, they just shout out 'quality' to me, but that's OK, it's alright to have different opinions. Fantastic bike though, I commend it to the house!

[@chewie8]

Great review, I am looking for a new bike next year and this is on my list.

[@marekmako]

Perfect as usual! Thanks buddy

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks 😊

[@kennethcooley3445]

I own the XE1200 Steve McQueen 2021 Excellent motorcycle

[@stuart84632]

Is it totally worth it. I am back and forth on that one or the gold line. I think if I got the Mcqueen edition I would almost never go off road. I would get another bike for off road, but would LOVE the Mcqueen edition

[@MOTOUK1]

agree with you buddy on all points, to have twin clocks and 3 modes would be such an improvement 👍 love the underseat storage items 🤣

[@Jim52154]

My god I just spit out my tea when you started with the riding modes. It REALLY feels like that! You spend more time scrolling through the menu than riding. The only riding mode should be in your right hand. Lovely review

[@internetcruiser]

The donkeys in the back are gold. Great review as always. 👍

[@ianmorgan7198]

Great 'vid' , loved the humour (Motobob's underwear was priceless) as for the XE ,great bike and a whole lot of fun to ride, all it needs to make it even better is a change of exhaust, a high rise front mudguard and a tail tidy (would also be better with twin analogue clocks)

[@richardjames2775]

It fits you!!! Proper size bike ... Yippee! Totally agree with you over clocks and modes. Agree with the idea of lower pipes but isn't the frame different on one side to cater for the originals ... Isn't it cut out? Would be great to be able to do and get both side luggage ... I still camp and do bike rallies... As I age, I need to take more comforts ... It would then be a competent competitor for the adventure bikes you don't like.

[@No1Nova]

Great video! The bike isn't my style but interesting none the less. Thats some beautiful countryside where you live with stunning views, perfect place for cruising around. Happy riding ✌️

[@lilynorthover8378]

What's MOTOBOB ever done to you?😂😂😂😂👙 What a gorgeous looking bike! You look good on it. Fantastic review.

[@wilcar1966]

Great review and the humor....dude, you could write comedy.

[@-old-school-motorcyclesltd]

Cracking video again loving the warning ⚠️ info Enjoyed you trying to set the modes 😂😂 Lovely bike and yes the forks should be black I agree in my opinion Clocks yes keep it basic Heh the Donkeys are beautiful can’t wait to see them !! Gorgeous location and the Town Regards Phil

[@yoshihartley7812]

Best Scrambler review ever. Totally agree with wishing there was another option for the TFT but I’m going for it all the same. I’m expecting mine in just a few weeks and have a lot of backcountry exploration planned in British Columbia this riding season.

[@evoermine]

Great review as per usual. Not heard anyone mention the weird steering before. Wonder if it’s tyre pressures or incorrectly adjusted head bearing or something.

[@mihaimike2500]

Best bike ever made 😎 👍👍👍

[@nigelfisher6896]

Thanks!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thank you 😊

[@michaeloneil8281]

Hi big fella. I am Australian and I stand 6.3 and I am 57. I`ve been riding since I was 12. So I do relate to your videos. I think that Triumph has been building their bikes in Thailand for quite a few years now. But soon they will be producing bikes from the Philippines as well. Cheers

[@chris_rides_kawasaki]

My mate has a touno... It's tech-tastic... I would need one to one tuition just to start it. You chaps are going to make loads of friends... Very funny.

[@keithmayes4842]

Great review informative and entertaining everyone knows they are your pants really 😀

[@hockeymann88]

Great shots of the bike. This thing is absolutely stunning to my eyes. Seems like a great big guy bike, especially for city driving.

[@colincoleman2536]

I love watching, always such a lot of laughs what a brilliant sense of humor top man keep em coming.

[@mbudz1k]

Lovely review. Really enjoined your points and your delivery. Nice video.

[@worldofameiso5491]

I like watching your reviews, because at 6'4" I get some idea as to how I would look on these bikes.

[@everestvirtue309]

Thank you for the laughs We all need them All of your insights Would make that bike much cooler And better over what they did Take care my friend

[@olethorhermansen5696]

Warning, irony alert! To own a modern motorcycle, you really need two things: a son who's a computer wizard, and a wife who loves to clean things. That way, while your son is sorting out the mess you have made of the display and ride modes, you wife can clean the bike of the dirt it's covered in because of the ridiculously short front mudguard all modern bikes are fitted with. Without these two essential assets, you are limited to a Royal Enfield 350 Classic, which has no ride modes, and a mudguard that actually protects the bike.

[@DucatiDiaries]

LMAO at the sped up parts going to night. 🤣😂

[@dorstefan]

The modern woman will make you hire someone for cleaning and the son will be more interested in social media.

[@user-fn1rb9ze6p]

Id rather look after the bike abit more by cleaning it a little more than ride a RE 😂 and you dont really need to faff with the rider modes that much just pick one and leave it especially if your just gonna ride it on the road

[@kwakithailand]

​@@dorstefan Wifey and doggy do have (at least) one thing in common: Good training is required 😁

[@dorstefan]

@@kwakithailand yes, but you can't turn a 304 into a housewife.

[@jaymoore88]

Really refreshing video. Good sense of humour, willing to give good advice keeping it light.

[@toddswain7459]

Thanks for the review! Love the color and I totally agree about the clocks. If they could have put the set up from the T120 on it I wouldn’t have been disappointed. Llandovery is a beautiful back drop! Would love to come ride with you some time!!

[@ramimator]

Heheh a very nice review monsieur, specially the time travel you did while figuring out the modes 😅, keep up those great honest reviews and I hope those Irony warnings will disappear by the time people understand cause in my opinion it ruins the joke a bit. Ride safe ✌🏼👍🏼

Thanx, that’s the Best test on KZbin, Cheers from France 🍻

Wow, thanks!

Loved this review, must be my favorite to date! great stuff guys!

[@stephencritchley7169]

Fantastic review young fella! Thank you so much for the alerts, saves having to work them all out, or for other people missing them all together! Do you know where Motobob shops??

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Any time! Haha not sure where the knickers are from

[@cliffordkershaw7943]

Great review old boy, actually made me laugh, these modes would drive me crazy,on my bikes I only have ABS,which I can switch off,Rain mode would be handy in Wales lol,wide bars definitely improve handling,, PS I think the knickers might belong to the Missenden Flyer

[@user-fn1rb9ze6p]

Id just leave it in one mode and foreget the rest 😄

[@FullArmorE6]

Nice bike. Excellent video!

[@andrewbull3537]

I saw that your "back up crew " the donkeys where there in the background making sure you said no innuendos that could cost you subscribers 😁. Great review of the scrambler ........maybe i'll get one ......have to ask the missus . Peace out ✌

[@jndl1992]

Dear Old Man, repeat viewer and despite being some years your junior, appreciator of your humour (thank god someone still has some). I know this isn’t a radio station and you don’t take requests etc. but we are the same height (am 6’3”). Would greatly appreciate some tips from a tall guy with a lot more experience on bikes than me on how to improve things with customisation. Hopefully this would be worth a short video. Thanks a lot either way for the work you both put in. Cheers.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. We can certainly look into doing something like that 👍🏼

[@achikuda]

that’s a beautiful rattle 🥹

[@timmartindale8736]

Love the on-bike footage. What cam are you using for that?

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. DJI Action 2 👍🏼

[@seyseymar]

Nice review! I owned a Street Scrambler before, now riding a Tiger 850 Sport, an excellent motorbike...👍 Will test ride the 1200 XE in the near future....😉

[@seyseymar]

Your review of the Triumph Tiger 850 Sport was also very good. That convinced me to go for the 850 Sport instead of the 900. It has the same engine, is a little less powerfull, has another TFT dash with less electronic gadgets...is cheaper ....and it rides just... fantastic. It does everything I want it to do....on and ( light) offroad.... I like the way you're bringing the reviews! Greetings from Belgium!👍😉👌

I love my tft display. Works perfect plus bluetooth, turn by turn navigation, music, text messages, phone calls, tire pressure monitor, cruise control, heated grips, fuel range, mpg, coolant temp, auto night mode, etc. Try doing all that without a tft.

[@DustyCowdog]

Warts and all... I love Triumph.

[@actstuntcam]

I do really love the look of these and having ridden one I found the brakes and suspension so amazing. The engine is ok, but a bit underpowered and slightly sterile. If these came without Ride modes and without RBW, it would be at the top of my list for bikes to buy.

[@GunCollector007]

The bike is just ok but the scenery is fantastic!

[@richardjeffery6676]

I recently discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying the content. I'm close to pulling the trigger on the XE though, as you suggested I won't be using it off road, though the line is somewhat blurred when looking at some of roads near where I live. I intend this bike to be my only bike to do everything on (commuting, day trips, touring, etc.). Would you have any concerns about this bike for a do-it-all machine?

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

That’s great to hear. The XE will do it all. If you’re a tall person, it’s the one to go for. Handling is slightly better on the XC, but you’d get used to it after a while

[@jamesmoros1274]
