Here’s Triumph; redoing, reworking, updating and IMPROVING their classic Bonneville line! Making the bikes better. More power, more torque, better everything, everywhere! Here’s Harley; cutting from the street/sportster line. Bringing out 3 models that are exactly the same as they have been (excluding paint jobs and aesthetics) no upgrades, no improvements, no surprises, nothing! Just a price increase! Maybe Harley should hire someone from Triumph to show them how to build motorcycles? Too bad Triumphs aren’t more accessible here in Tulsa Oklahoma where I live! They make absolutely beautiful, classy, and modern motorcycles that just LOOK retro but have actual parts and components from this century!

Triumph have a load of variants but not one that is really the 'US custom' look which is really what the main selling point of the original 'US spec' designs, just needs the 'US custom' livery, more alloy everywhere, the higher rise bars, grab rails, a bit more chrome, though i'm fussy i would of liked the old alloy switch clusters on the bars and the for me the cruise control? what bonnie rider is really interested in that? it's a bike for people who want to taste and eat every inch of road, i think the whole range is really a load of near misses

For almost a year, I dreamed of the Speedmaster. Compared to the T120, it's "cooler". The T120 had colors schemes and a seat that did not appeal that much to me but I felt it was a more sensible bike to own. The standard peg position would be better for our horrible roads, the larger tank more practical, heated grips more usefull than cruise ctl, more lean angle. My brain said T120, but my heart said Speedmaster. However, when I saw the new for 2020 orange color, that sealed the deal and I went for the T120.

Speed Twin. Yes it needs an RS version for those who like adjustable suspension and maybe a bit more power, although I'm happy with the suspension and power on my one. Seat needs to fully cover the frame, and therefore a little more pillion room. Get rid of the blacked out section on the exhaust pipes. Make them all brushed stainless steel (nope I don't want to pay £700 for Vance & Hines) Lug on the kick stand needs a bit extra metal to put your foot on. (I've told Triumph that, when they asked me, it'll be interesting to see if they do.) Slightly bigger fuel tank, but I don't guess that will happen. A quick shifter option would be good !

Excellent vid - thanks for uploading this latest info. I've been eyeing off the Speed Twin for some time, but have always loved the classic lines of the Bonneville T120. Now that the new 2021 version of the Bonnie has lost 7kg in weight, it brings it closer to the handling of the Speed Twin while it maintains it's retro look. Tough decision...which way to go. Thanks to Triumph we are spoilt for choice as each new model range is released.

For me, it's between the T100 and Street Twin. I find the smaller engine has that buttery smooth sound and I prefer to have a bit extra fuel range (larger fuel tank would be nice, Triumph). I just want something relaxed that goes along without a fuss. Heck, I think I even prefer a more spaced-out 5-spd rather than a closer-ratio 6-spd, especially with these very wide powerband twins. Very nice bikes. (edit: cruise control would be so nice across the range)

By most accounts, the modern classic line continues to be plagued by fuelling issues linked to Euro 4 & 5 emissions restrictions. Some pople don't notice it while other riders sell their bikes beacuse of it. In fairness, most new bikes have the same problem and its most noticebale characteristic is a twitchy throttle, especially at low speeds and in low gears. Some describe it as having a throttle that acts more like an on/off swich as opposed to a smooth, linear delivery of power. Another thing to consider is that the days of installing a nice set of slips ons to enhance the sound of your bike are finished. All the modern classic bikes are heavily muted and slip ons really won't make a difference as most of the sound dampening is happening in the catalytic converter. And if you remove the catalytic, you end up throwing out the fuelling significantly resulting in a dimished ride that pops and backfires heavily on the overrun. Again, not Triumphs fault. But the state of Motorcycling is in a sad place right now.

I recon the new T120 is still the pick of the Bonni range. I was hoping to see a 6speed box on the T100 range. The bump in power and reduction in weight is grate. Now Royal Enfield is hot on Triumph hills but I recon if some wants a Triumph they will buy a Triumph. Now there is another dark horse in the class and that is the new V7 850cc with 65ph and 6speed box and a the electronic gadgets as the Triumph. Plus it has shaft drive which is even more low maintenance. With a bigger fuel tank and less weight it might be a very interesting alternative. Now a test with T100 and T120 and the new V7 850cc would be a grate idea and I know Tim will be very happy to help out with it.

I own a T100 Black 2014 and to be quite honest with you I hated it the moment I rode it for the first time. The road legal pipes didn't sound like a Bonneville should sound so I replaced them with the, not for road use ones, then she sounded lovely. I've had no end of trouble with the shoddy metal quality all over it for example, I bought it with a number of extras a chrome rear rack which rusted in a week spokes that you dare not leave it outside for a second in the rain as it may dissolve into a pile of rust. I spent nearly £12,000 on it new and all it did to me was put me off Triumph for life.

Still not making the Bonni I want. Up swept exhaust, dual gauges, dual front discs, no gators on the forks, alloy wheels, shocks from the Thruxton and with chrome fenders. Also the big chrome tank badge, rubber knee pads and two tone paint. This is the look I remember from the late 60's and 70's and a look I will buy if Triumph ever makes this one.

I was worried the updates would devalue my 2018 T120 Black, but with heated grips, centre stand grabrail and cruise control, I can see it being in more demand, rather than less....and a 'grey' version of the Black...meh

I bought a T120 R Bonneville in 1970. It was a trouble free cycle for the 3 years I drove it. If I bought a new one in 2021, I’d go with the Speedmaster. I don’t like all of the black coating all over the bike. It never looks good, imho.

Ok Bob; I don't own a Triumph, YET!!! but it is DEFINITELY on my "I'm gona have one" list. My problem is..... I LIKE the Street Twin, but I'm "old school", I like dual "clocks" as you Britts say, I want a Tach and a Speedo on the bike and I am HAPPY!!! I don't want a 1200, just too much bike for me, 900 is what I need and want, so I guess I have to go with a Bonnie, so I can have the dual clocks and the true classic motorcycle look, bottom line.... It's a TRIUMPH. BTW, keep up the great content, I look forward to your videos. P.S. if they put dual clocks on a 900 Scrambler, I'd have to buy that one first.LOL

I love the T120 line but just a tad too small for a tall guy. The 1200cc motor is plenty strong but the overall length and feel was just okay. I ended up with an R18 Classic. 1802cc might be a bit much but the fit is right and it’s certainly as nice looking as the Bonneville.

Excellent video, I had to sell my Tiger Explorer 1200 too heavy for my knackered knee and had to get a knee replacement and was worried I drop the bike and knew I wouldn’t be able to pick it up , last week I got a StreetTwin jet black really chuffed and I ve got the buzz back again when I’m on the bike 👌🏻 But all Bonnevilles are beautiful bikes

I'm sold on the 660 Trident, but don't know if I can live without analog tach. and speedo. I'm 71 yrs. age and like to see rpm and speed w/ peripheral vision. Maybe test rides are in order. Maybe a twin would work.

Of all the Triumph bikes I've been on the Speedmaster was the most comfortable. Very low to the ground and the reach to the bars is perfect for me. You'd definitely need a different seat for two-up riding, but for solo its fine like it is.

special edition street twin, SWEET. reminiscent of my STR in black & gold paint w/gold rims. now if only Triumph would consider a mono shock smaller CC scrambler weighing in more like the Daytona for ppl wanting to go off road - like say, 400-765cc?

Hi Bob, I live in France, Honda is now offering a 5-year warranty on all models, I traded in my Honda Forza 300 for the new 350. I'm looking for a weekend motorbike & with a 5-year warranty, it's a game-changer for me, Honda or Triumph? I feel if the company are confident in their product a longer warranty wouldn't be an issue, with a 5-year warrant it holds the value of the bike when you wish to sell it after 3 years with another 2 years warranty left. A win-win for all parties.

Ive had a 12 liter (3.2 gal) tank since 2018, I just had dealer install the sppeedmaster tank on it and I debadged it. Always over 150 mile range minimum and bigger tank looking nice and beefy on the small bobber black. As a result of extended range I had to install wilbers top of the line rear suspension to keep my butt happy on those longer days.

Love Triumph and hope to purchase a T120 this year, my only gripe is you talk about weight saving but you now don't get a centre stand rear passenger hand rail and heated grips as standard these are all additional costs, why not be honest about weight savings how much does the centre stand weigh for example, so tell us about the downgrades as well as the upgrades 🤔
