Thanks for the video! Have you ever ridden the Triumph Speedmaster? I know you rode the Bobber, but the Speedmaster (in my opinion) is more comfortable and less aggressive, giving the 1,200cc engine more of an "it's there if I ever need it, but I doubt I will" feel. Plus, it's a smoke show. :-) Ride safe!
@@msmichellerides I can understand that. It's about 28 lbs heavier than the Bobber. The weight distribution is very balanced and low, so I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to maneuver.If I lived in CA, I'd let you test ride my Speedmaster. I just love it so much. 🙂 However, I saw your other video where you got the Rebel 500! Congrats! I am sure it is an awesome bike, and it sounds like you made a great decision! Cheers!
@@marcverdi665 I found the weight distribution and low center of gravity of a bike really helps me. The Yamaha Bolt C-Spec sat really low (27 inches) and I loved that, but man was that a heavy bike! The Honda Rebel will do for me for now. In a couple of years, I may look into the 1100 (that is 80 lbs heavier than the 500 Rebel).
@@msmichellerides I love your willingness to try new things and change it up to find what works best for you. I personally may try a T120 someday but cannot imagine not having a Cruiser-style bike, so I guess I’ll have two someday! 😊
@@marcverdi665 5 bikes in 5 years feels excessive but I wouldn't have done it any other way. I definitely learned a lot through the experience. The T120 is a niceeee bike. Very beautiful! Agreed on the cruiser style bike.
hi i think you should have gotten the yamaha bolt r spec or basic bolt i am also 5 feet 6 and 135 lbs and i have the yamaha bolt and i can flat foot the bike very comfortable and very easy to handel it and you sit in the bike not high up why dont you go and try sit on the bike and take a test ride and i know that you will feel really comfortable on it , and congrats on the new bike and ride safe

I've sat on a Speedmaster at a local bike shop and I really liked it. The 579 lb weight concerns me though.
