In my area it’s turned cold early and salt has already been applied to the streets. So since my bikes are now safely tucked away I needed a pick me up. What better then Laramoto’s Triumph Bobber review. She maintains a sense of humor between the raindrops but even better... she says “bobber”. Despite the weather conditions she does an excellent job, as with all her reviews, of capturing the essence of what a particular motorcycle riding experience encompasses. With this one you have the added pleasure of hearing her say “bobber”. Thanks Laramoto!

Hello Joe! Great to hear from you again. Glad you picked up my attempts at Bristolian. I enjoy riding in the wet but making a video in rain is very tricky... I'm probs not going to seek to do that again! It was a good giggle with my friend behind the camera and I felt a bit bad handing it back to the @fowlersmotorcycle team in such a dirrrtyy state!

Folks coming at the bobber from a sport bike background call it relaxed, but if you come at it from a strictly cruiser background the performance and handling is hair-raising... and fabulous! The standard bobber you rode is the cooler bike in my opinion. Perfection. The blacked out everything on the later model in combo with the fat front tyre detracted from the balance between muscularity and elegance and queered the lines of the thing for the sake of "badass." A hackneyed pursuit in today's world.
@Laramoto5 жыл бұрын
Well summarised Tozo! It is rather comfortable (but I needed to get used to that straight back style) and I loved seeing the rear sus do it’s thing! I must admit the fatter bobber black wheel did look a bit better but agree, takes away the elegance of the standard. Thank you for your comment! 🤗💪
@tozobozo41425 жыл бұрын
@@Laramoto some like the beefier and all-black look of course. I've got the standard and for me it's just the perfect motorcycle. I find it pretty much flawless. "Epic" even. I've had Kawasaki and Honda and Harley but this one eclipses them all. Triumph really hit the ball out of the park with this bike. Thanks Lara.

The bike is ACE and fits you to a T. And the review is spot on, with the fresh, candid approach so personal to you. Pity you seem to be mostly into sportbikes; would love more reviews like this one and the Fantic Caballero, but you're so partial to crotch rockets......not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you.

Owned since 2018 and done engine and body work. The bike is versatile but limited capabilities unfortunately. Luckily TuneECU has come out with maps and broken past ECU, and EU's very own TEC Motorcycles with their profiled camshaft have made it a little better to get that Engine if you're into modifications.
