I bought this as my beginner bike about a month ago now and absolutely love it. Though I have nothing to compare it to i agree with your points it’s very comfortable and easy to ride. I’m 6ft 2inches(187cm) and around 230lbs(104kg) and haven’t had any issues yet though I do plan on moving the seat back

Currently getting my licence. I´m getting this as my first bike. Can´t drive a sport bike at the age of 47. Need something like the Bobber instead

in this vid you mentioned dropping the speedometer down more flush. I didn't see that in the vid. Is this something that can be done? mine seems fixed but I would like to drop id down a bit.

It can be dropped down, if you go to 3:50 in the video you will see me flip it down on the quick release lever behind the clock 👍🏻

Hey great review need some advice… had triumphs for years, and more than happy with the brand…. I have now a triumph storm and abs … and thought about upgrade to triumph rocket gt 221 due to discontinued storm…. Particularly as I am 6ft1… but then saw this bike… and this one has the bigger tank… any advice ?

Hi, well 2 completely different bikes if I can put it like that. Rocket 3 GT 221, which I have seen in the flesh, is a stunner but also the rocket is an insane crazy spectacular bike just WOW!!! 🤩 please see my video on that, one of my all time favourite bikes. This Bobber is cool personified, classic, nostalgic, everyday loads of fun and works like only a triumph of near perfect build quality of today even though an old school bike……. I’m sure I haven’t helped you 😂😂 but testride them both for yourself and I think you might go for the Rocket……

Nice review. One question; how tall are you? Might get one of these but don’t want to be cramped. Not that I’m big mind you at 181cm
@route21garage2 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much. I am 181cm and when you adjust the seat I was super comfy and feeling cool 😎👌

wow, triumph says the bonneville gives 60 mpg at least on the 2023 model! That's fantastic. The bike looks great but I'd ruin the bobber look by constantly having to take a backpack for work (laptop/clothes).

Thank you 🙏 I’m in South Africa and do films around the country, from Johannesburg to reviews in Cape Town. This one was done up here in Johannesburg 1500m altitude. In July I’ll be doing some filming in Italy and World Ducati Week and some bike museums if that would interest you 🤙👌

230kg as a beginners bike is a bit of a challenge

Centre of Gravity is super low and so is the seat height 👍🏻 gives a good feel of being in charge

@@route21garage .. still don't think such a powerful, torquey bike is a good beginners bike. Also the riding position is not suited for beginners. But thhis is just my opinion.
