[@bradleyalexander5821]

Gotta admit, it is drop dead gorgeous. If funds weren’t an issue, I could see this bike as a fun 3rd in the garage. Congratulations on 100k subs. 👏👏👏

[@gk73man51]

Braver than me riding those roads Kate! The roads round here are greasy as hell, I’m in no hurry to start de-wintering my collection 🥶

[@michaelfraser5723]

It takes a seasoned sales girl to rekindle interest in the stars of Triumph's endless and timeless excellence. Rock on Katey Mc Queen

[@TheChrisglasgow]

Got myself a Triumph bobber 2 years ago an mine has the 9 litre tank an tbh it's has never been an issue as these are not designed for touring anyway. Only bad thing i can is the brakes are crap but other than that these bikes are awesome. The only way I'll be selling mine is if I'm upgrading to a Thornton Hundred or Pouslon customs version. Great bike I highly recommend 👌🏽

[@normanwigley2318]

Hi Kate, super assessment on the bobber . I am a bobber and thruxton owner, I upgraded the suspension on the bobber ( ohlin shock set to my weight 14.5 stone. Iam 6ft 2in tall . ) completely altered the ride, i found the braking okay ( I have the 2024 model ). Well done young lady. Kind regards Norman..👍

[@mikeythehat6693]

Just bought my brand new 2025 Bobber. Two weeks old, I gotta tell you, in my 60 years on this planet, I've never, ever enjoyed owning a motorcycle more. I am so deliriously, over the top, blissfully delighted that, sometimes, I feel I must be dreaming. If you think that might be hyperbole, well I can see why, but, really, I just lack the words to adequately describe my happiness and my satisfaction with this bike. (seat could be softer though) And I am a shorter individual, so I really appreciate the seat height.

[@midlife-crysis]

Got one myself❤ reviewed it a lot last year. It’s the bike I a, always happiest on, and enjoy every ride😊. Tried sports bikes with 3x the amount of power, and naked with 2x the power and always rather be on BOB.

[@SimonPass230267]

I started as an offroader, green lanes, enduros etc, then graduated to soft roaders (Adventure Bikes apparently), and so I've had the Tiger since 2014. Never liked or considered cruisers. Then the Bobber came out and I just love the look of them. Then Triumph gave me one as a loan bike at the annual service , and now I've got to own one. Love it. It's a fabulous bike.

[@chrisclemmett6458]

I’ve a Bobber Black it’s 237kg. Changed the rear shock for a Hagon much better ride, changed the exhaust for a Motone and it sounds even better. It’s not meant to tour but you can get luggage! I’ve opted for a Motone rear rack and I’ve toured to Yorkshire dales etc. Tank size it’s a bit small mines 9ltrs but you get used to it. Loads of people stop look and chat about it. And it’s perfect for the DGR!

[@chich22]

I got my Bobber last year, the stealth edition. When I saw it I fell in love 😊. So pleased you liked it and great video. As some have said, you're braver than us all for going out in the cold. Mine will stay in the garage for another month, I think. 4 months of this shocking weather in this lovely country. Fingers crossed 2025 will be better.

[@56Spookdog]

Looks like fun and being able to completely flat foot it is a plus.

Great Bobber review. In 50 years you will LOVE 'flat footing' a bike! Trust me - I'm 76 and Luv'n my Speedmaster 👍

This is a stunna of a bike. I saw a tricked out one a couple months ago. It looked and sounded gorgeous.

[@paulstevenson2539]

I own one as my daily, love it to bits.

[@woodcutter2479]

i have the bobber black and the first mod you have to do is fit a rear fox shock which really transforms the ride , it saves your spine from a pot hole compression ! ...for aesthetics i fitted short triumph mudguards front and back with triumphs rear mini light that has integrated indicators and brake light ..there are matching front indicators , a triumph side slung reg plate means you you see its foot print ....for the ears I trashed the cat and fitted US spec varnce and hines ..sounds great ...the review is right the 9litre tank is regular station pit stop pain but the bike is not for touring , its a body and soul realignment ride to the local blt joint .....the mat black finish is a stress at times because its high maintenance but you get over that ...its a brilliant ride with a low centre of gravity so it loves the bends ....the fat rubber means you you have to heave it but thats fun ...stunning looking bike that the Harley beards don't like to have parked by there tractors ...

[@Kenneth-l6w5s]

Hi Kate. Nice review on the Bobber. Talk about following the grooves/ruts in the road. Just imagine if you had gotten one with a skinny front wheel. Those roads do look, pretty bad. I would like to have one. But, I would want the taller(ape hanger) handle bars. Congrats on 100K. Your reference to the Speed Master(I had a first generation Speedy (2003 model)). I call the new ones, “A Bobber with a back seat”. Love your channel.

[@Disposalist]

Your observations are on the money. I had a Speedmaster for 3ish years - same as the Bobber in most regards - and love love loved it. You feel amazing riding it. The bike itself is awesome. Like a Harley, but not in a brash American way (sorry you guys) - in a cool old-school British gent/lady way. Triumph have done an amazing job making it feel and ride like a classic, but be much more capable and sexy. Me, I'm now on a Bullet 350. As much as I loved the Speedmaster, I'm not really an 'awesome' rider hehe. I got one because I wanted a comfortable riding position (hence not getting the Bobber) and a classic ride feel in a modern bike. The Bullet delivers that in a much more understated and practical way and doesn't suffer the SM/Bobber negatives. The low tank range (you're worrying about the next petrol station after 80 miles, really, especially abroad or in the countryside). The short suspension (I'm heavier than you and the front regularly bottomed out. Sometimes the rear). The lurchy throttle (it's inevitable on a high torque engine and you can use the throttle to smooth it, but it could be annoying). The peg scraping (I'm not a knee-down rider, but adverse camber on a roundabout could even be a worry). If it suits you and your needs, the Bobber (and Speedmaster) are fantastic bikes, though. For many, the negatives are far outweighed by the positives.

[@LundRebel]

Yeah, if you ride that bike, you are instant cool. Very nice.

[@zenden6564]

This is the most informative bike review by a female reviewer I've ever watched. ❤ subbed.

I do lots :) Thanks for the sub - Hopefully wont disappoint!

[@thebonniebiker]

Great video, Kate! For those of us on the heavier side, the rear shock isn’t the best, and you really feel it if you happen to go over any potholes. I just love the after market parts you can get to really make your bobber your own.

[@Sparky-Mark-uk]

I had a new chrome edition Bobber, I really loved that bike, everywhere I went it got loads of attention, like you say, the sound from the stock exhaust is awesome. My only gripe was the suspension was very unforgiving for a guy about 15 stone. The only reason that was don’t have it now is because we are doing a bit more touring and with the best will in the world, it’s not a tourer. If I could justify having 2 bikes it would definitely still be in my garage 😀

[@Adge60]

Hi kate this bike should live in your garage it's the best looking bike i ever saw you on and you look so comfortable riding it yes it's not up to the performance of others but what a beautiful bike and such an iconic look yep it's drop dead you go together like carrots and peas 😊

[@MoxyDave]

Great review. I've got a '22 Gold Line with a few mods: belt drive, Matris suspension, Motone exhaust and a few other bits and bobs. It's a good bike for around town but it gets a little tiresome on long rides. The belt drive is the best mod for these bikes. Makes shifting buttery smooth. The sound is mesmerizing. I love hitting the throttle in a tunnel, always brings a huge smile. A small flyscreen will grant you another 10Mph of comfort on the highway, but really this bike is for crawling around town at slow speeds. I went to the dealer looking for a Speed Twin but they didn't have one so I ended up with the Bobber. I still crave the Speed Twin; I think it would be a much better bike for longer rides.

[@logangodofcandy]

It may not look the best, but I added Power bronze screen, and now it's a peach to haul around US highways around 90mph

[@DD-lc5ts]

Mine has a Givi screen. Yes, maybe not pretty but I can ride at speed all day.

[@dustytriumph]

Great review. These have been on my lust-radar for sometime now. Really captivated by the new colorway Sapphire Black Icon edition. Last fall I looked at and had a short (very) ride on the new BMW R12, the standard (some call a cruiser) not the R12 R NineT. Which bike do you prefer: This or the R12 (cruiser) Thanks.

[@Kylehs]

great video, love the looks of the bobber

[@DD-lc5ts]

For anyone thinking of buying a bobber, if you’re a bit on the heavier side, the first and only essential mod’ is a CoC Customs Springer kit.

[@logangodofcandy]

MUST add COC custom seat spring. $200 and easy install. Smooths the ride right out. I had to upgrade the rear suspension on mine for better handling, but I'd you don't ride like a psycho, it really isn't necessary

[@goodthiefphoto]

I managed to borrow a Thurston RS for a weekend and fell in love with the sound. I've been wanting to buy one for a while and was sad when they discontinued it. Looking at it's siblings now - Do you think the Bobber sounds better than the new Speed Twin RS?

[@garys4756]

I think you're a legend. That is a vlog I would have watched :)

[@markf4018]

Thanks for this. Will probably get, for bike #3 in the garage - a Streetmaster but with Bobber bars and pegs. Essentially a Bobber with a pillion seat - cos Jnr on the back.

[@stevebolton8471]

Great review and video quality. I bought my current helmet with a peak to handle winter sun. Maybe the peak is a bit too high on your helmet? Lovely countryside on this ride and the bike sounds and looks fantastic. However my T100 is much better with adjustable rear shocks, a bigger tank and a long seat that I can move around on. Also with a thinner front wheel and Avon tyres it goes where I point it. 😃

[@josephmwilliams6754]

Very aggressive and great looking bike . I had a BMW 1200R eons ago which was so well engineered but a similar 'porker' It would suit an older biker who was no longer into getting anywhere too quickly !! I wish I was still fit enough ! Used to hate that low winter sun and damp leafy roads ! But you have just got to get out !!

[@Wheredafish]

Hi Kate. You and this bike look like DYNAMITE together. Can't stress enough how great you look. You should be Triumph's poster girl. I had the 998cc Speedmaster in the USA. PJ (Pauline.)

@logangodofcandy yeah but im from malaysia. This bike cost 3 year minimum wage in our currency. And the used one here aint that much discounted. Still hoping they would release 660 or 400 model which i doubt will be anytime soon

Your English is just fine, as you're English. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.

Had one, loved it but the rear shock (even upgraded to wilbers) was really bad for my aging back, so had to sell it. Still a looker though (I mean the bike...ok well, you too Kate...)

[@lightthiscity4974]

I've heard the seat, and the rear suspension make this bike really tough to ride because you literally feel every bump in the road because of how stiff the rear suspension is. I think I heard the bumps in your voice several times in the video lol. Great video though and appreciate the content.

[@MonkeywoodGarage]

I went to Triumph to buy the Bobber but ended up coming away with a Street Triple 765RS - I'm sure i'd have to loved either!

[@adammcallister2260]

This is a bit old school for me but that noise? Phwoar. Looks lovely and low too.

[@patmaher5500]

Although not like for like I'd be interested in your comparison of the bobber and the R/E shotgun, especially the ride quality given the price difference

[@pault880]

I love my bobber black, it really is a feel good bike. Best mod is to upgrade the rear shock to something adjustable. Transforms the bike and makes the floating seat less of an ejector seat over those big bumps!

[@UsernameKate]

Ejector seat 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@stevebolton8471]

Rear shock should be adjustable for the price.

[@logangodofcandy]

Get a COC seat spring smoother and cheaper than a suspension upgrade.

[@tiagocandeias1979]

Great review, I'm considering a speedmaster as it will be more suitable for touring. Got the chance to ride one when my Thruxton was being serviced... Loved the sound. Just a shame the size of the tank... A few more liters would make a huge difference...

[@UsernameKate]

100% I really enjoyed the speedmaster when I had it, but i think the bobber is more my style 😊

[@ravenslament622]

Pot holes what pot holes, we have the best roads in the universe......oh sorry I was dreaming. This bike reminds me of my beautiful Faith a 2007 Sportster missed greatly. I would definitely go for after market upgrades,some thing niggling is the off centre fuel cap, and a lack of shiny things lol, probably why I would go for another Harley Sportster . Nice bike though kate.

[@hunczar]

With the upgrade to the speed twin, I wonder if this will be next…better suspension a tad, and at least another gallon in the tank would greatly help.

[@martinhughes9769]

Like its looks, but a bit expensive just for a Sunday plod around the country roads , spending that kind of money there is better Triumphs available, and alternative brands in the price range, those wheels will contribute to the Kgs I would of thought,

[@TheChrisglasgow]

No other triumphs will turn as many heads though. These bikes are the definition of cool 😎

[@kentishmale1969]

Its subtropical down here in Kent, you need to move south !! 😉

[@BRITISHREPUBLICANuk]

Too heavy for the modern world. That's a great observation right there Kate - just imagine how it will feel if the next iteration manages to lose 50lbs! Really will be an awesome bike then. BTW I had an extended test ride when it came out and loved it. I believe they can be remapped to give a bit more power.

When you ride so many bikes how do you remember how different bikes feel? With me I rent lots of bikes because I travel for work but ... After a couple months unless a bike felt special my memory of most bikes turn to mush. Also if your traction control light doesn't come on a few times while riding are you riding?🍻

[@artistonamotorbike]

Achingly beautiful bike its too wee for me but i adore it.

[@rlw85]

It’s a lovely looking bike but I prefer the speed master. I keep thinking G I Jayne with the camo kit

[@paulyflyer8154]

Funny that you compared it to a Yamaha MT07. I actually used to have the Bonneville 120 Speedmaster which is more or less the same as the Bobber and a beautiful bike. However it had swept back beach bars which are lovely but after a 4 day tour it gave me tendinitis and a year on I'm still suffering so reluctantly it had to go. I decided to downsize to a more basic usable every day bike and I opted for an MT07 and trousered the 4k part ex profit. Im absolutely loving the MT07 but I'm starting to miss that Triumph 120 engine. Thinking I may buy a bonnie 120 or the Bobber and also keep the Yamaha.

[@UsernameKate]

Haha no way. Obviously not the same, but you know when something just feels similar from memory? I always remembered being impressed with the mt07 through the towns and lanes :)

[@suesue5694]

A lot of folk have the t120 bars put on the speedmaster. It's an option from Triumph. Best of both worlds

[@paulyflyer8154]

@suesue5694 Yes I thought of flat bars but the main attraction for me buying it in the first place were the bars and the feet forward relaxing position. In fact I did find a way afterwards of keeping my wrists straight but it felt a bit unnatural and also it wasn't really a bike I felt I could use every day in this country because even the slightest of moisture on the road and it came home absolutely filthy 😁

[@richardbarton2709]

[@petewatson9866]

Looks pretty cool but I can just imagine my poor cramped legs after a long ride

I'm a bit shocked by its weight and am also bit lardy for that saddle-apart from that, it's a beaut! So, funds being no object, you'd have one-now imagine you have dropped into some serious moolah and can afford your dream "5 bike garage." What would your 5 bikes be?

[@51stSTATE-ReformUK]

[@ianhockington7289]

Do like the look of the Triumph Bobbers, But where's all that weight coming from, All right it's got the 1200 Lump in it. How much do those oversize wheels weigh 😁🤔

[@RobertDodge]

Question for the Chat Triumph related so hence why I am asking it here - Which would you own ? (price is the same) 2022 T120 Black Goldline or 2022 Speed Triple 1200RR ? This is my current choice Regards Rob

[@steveparish9210]

Just how fast do you want to go?

[@MrHws5mp]

How on Earth do you carry luggage on it? it may not be very powerful, but it is very torquey, and it's the torque that makes the back end break traction on greasy roads, not the power, so that rain mode may be a blessing after all. I suspect it's heavier because of the triangulated swingarm to get the Harley Softtail look: there's basically twice as much metal in the swingarm and it's all steel, not aluminium. Not looked at one up close, but I suspect that a lot more of the fixtures and fittings, like the side panels for instance, are steel rather than allooy or plastic too. Also, that fat front wheel will be much heavier than a slim one.

[@UsernameKate]

I think road mode is perfectly fine if youre not revving the bike constantly like a clown because you like to hear the bark haha *calling out myself here*

[@BCoriaty]

Triumph makes pannier racks and bags for the Bobber and Speedmaster. They actually fit and work quite well.

[@MrHws5mp]

@ We've all done it... ;-)

[@MrHws5mp]

@ So they do. Relieved to see that the pannier frames fit to the main frame loop, not the swingarm!

[@JohnLongdin]

It's a great looker, but you surprised me with the weight!

[@marcbrasse747]

I am sure there is a lot of extra weight in those wheels. The gyroscopically effect of their mass will add to the planted feeling but in every other aspects it is all about looks and nothing about common sense and efficiency.

[@UsernameKate]

It's not a common sense bike to me, it's just a feel good one 🥰

[@marcbrasse747]

@@UsernameKate No argument there. In the end few modern bikes are reasonable. The 270 kg electric Energica I recently bought provides about 110 km / 65 miles of range in winter and therefore isn’t offering much common sense either. So it falls far outside of my normal argumentation. But it still is fascinating. Difficult to keep upright while shoving it around though, although most of that weight seems to evaporate as soon as it starts to move under its own power. 😁

[@agentk5590]

Funny looking bike. Looks like it's missing a rear half.

[@Jambobist]

It's a really cool looking bike, think I'd feel like a bit of a poser riding around on it though.

[@Satch_4_Hogs]

The bobber has an issue with the gas range calculation. On a full tank, my bobber ALWAYS states a range of 87 miles. This is not accurate. As you approach an empty tank (half tank or less), the estimated range becomes accurate. I have the 9L tank on a 2017, so range is always on my mind. After riding 21k miles, I am averaging 55 miles per gallon overall, with some spirited riding strongly mixed in there. The standard seat is not great for long rides. I have a Corbin brand after market saddle and can ride comfortably on a 300 mile day with no issues. With no wind management, I can ride comfortably at 65 mph all day. 70 mph and over is fine for short bursts but it begins to wear on me.

[@jonno94]

I have the same model and my range seems to go up as i ride 😂 But i have managed 120miles with some spirited riding on one tank full (9ltrs) and it only took just over 8ltrs to refill, so a few miles left too. Not sure how accurate it is, but mine seems to average 60mpg no matter how hard i ride it.

[@RheaAyase]

I wish more sexy bikes were higher... I suffer greatly on tiny bikes like that. Pants are not made for ducking level bent knees, plus it gets painful. Usually, in fact, bikes are neither tall enough, nor short enough. Different styles equal different sizes. Sadly. I like cruisers and the likes, usually extremely tiny bikes. Yet I'm tall (i mean average for where I come from.) You will NEVER have a perfect size bike. Anyway, don't say "usually bikes are tall" - it's just wrong. I'm yet to find a good size bike for me.

[@UsernameKate]

Respectfully, I'll say it because it's my experience as most bikes I ride on the channel are tall, and I am quite clearly speaking from a small person perspective. I say this bike probably won't fit you if you are tall..

@midlife-crysis it's not about my time consumption. It's about different aspects of a review. It's a useful feature. Many reviewers are regularly using it. Her review is Nice, she speaks her mind. But if I want to just listen to info about the engine, how do I do it ? It's like reading an essay written in one big paragraph. Also you watch some videos many times with time period. A segmented video helps to sort out the subjects, helps the viewer.
