4:50 I'll have what she's having! lol
After watching this, I'm pretty sure that my neighbors in my apartment building think I'm living a much better life than I actually am. Unfortunately.
The best reaction I saw in a review, for my favourite bike and ive seen a lot, I can so understand and relate on how you felt riding bonnie. 👍🏻
thanks, Gagan! :D
Hi bud thinking of getting 1 next week what do u no like about them u think ok 4 2 up riding ,n do they stop ok and this gear box problem?
Loved the Triumph I had back in college (1970's). and it looked a lot like this one. I can still hear that lovely exhaust tone.
Glad they are making a come-back.
The Triumph is my favorite motorcycle. I had an '81, chopped, raked, springer front end, hard tail, king/queen seat, sissy bar .. I would have loved to have heard more from the engine on here.. nothing sounds better than a Triumph coming up the road.
Your reactions will be mine when I get my motorcycle license as well as a triumph bonneville 😍 absolutely priceless!! 😂😂😂
LOVE your excitement! It's contagious, almost like being on the ride myself. That's what it's all about. I have a Speed Triple and I'm still in love with it after 2 years. Nice video and keep enjoying!
Thanks, Phil M!
as an ex sportsbike rider .. I went for the ST as my wife wanted a decent pillion seat .. I love it , we go places on it :-)
I'm having a bit of a bad day but watching you ride this bike made me smile.
I almost didn't click on this vid because I've watched all the reviews about the T100 and the T120. Usually it's always some dude thrashing it around and talking big. But your video is purely about the joy of riding and finding a bike you gel with.
Same here getting caught up. I've been watching vlog motorcycle vids for years and the trend seems to be more more more as in content, risk, give aways whatever. It's very refreshing to get back to basic, giddy rider expressions and all. Great video as are the rest I've seen keep it up!
thanks, Steve! :D
I been watching ya videos from last few days.. nd girl u impressed me .. love ya videos .. cheeers u just got a new sub
Was the start a scene from when "Harry met Sally" 😂😂😂🙏
You really enjoyed that bike on your test ride - you had a bikegasm!
lol I like how giddy you were
:D thanks!
I think she likes the bike.
Always love watching your videos they are so fun and I love your enthusiasm :)
Thanks, Tacomamud!
You're welcome Doodle!! :)
I know it's an old video but I'm a new subscriber so I'm trying to catch up. I love it when people get excited like that girl you had me jumping up and down and screaming hahaha
Awesome! Thanks for watching 😄
I love it!!! Thanks for the awesome video
I like the riding details that you mention.
Awesome girl. Love seeing your journey :)
+CherrieBlossoms thanks for watching, girl! 😄
Cool bike! Had me laughing at your intense excitement. lol
yay!
Lol I was dying watching get super excited. 😂😂😂 love the excitement
Im also one of those that has a thing of not buying harley. I was SO close to getting this bike. Loved the retro look along with its conveniences (high mpg, easier to lane split, etc) but then I tried out the new Indian Scout and holy mother I just had to instantly buy one. So damn deceiving for a small beautiful bike
Bingo Dingo neat!! For a long time I thought the Indian Scout be my next bike too! But then I met Triumphs had to get one!
your bike probably got jealous because you loved the bonneville so much.
The dealership sabotaged it.
lol. Well anything to get that sale, right?
That's what I thought!
BAHAHA
love this review.
Hey Doodle.. love your videos and love the music you choose :-) I'm sure that brand new Triumph felt incredible but I wanted you to think about switching from a belt drive bike to a chain drive... your belt drive is virtually maintenance free but with a chain you will have to lube it quite frequently and it can be very messy !! Keep having fun out there !! Oh.. and check out the Indian Scout Sixty.. belt drive and liquid cooled..... I just bought one and I am loving it !!
Excellent point re: belt vs chain final drive. I suspect her decision has been made, however!
I sat on the Indian Scout at a motorcycle show, and I REALLY liked how it fit me (I am 6'1). It was very low and sleek. And comfortable. My friend who is 5'5 had the same impression from sitting on it. I wouldn't be surprised if the Scout would be a great fit for you, too, Doodle :)
Yes! All the classic Triumph bikes I'm looking at now have chain drives. You know I thought Indian Scout Sixty would be my next bike when I first got my S40... but now that it's come time to upgrade I don't want a cruiser anymore... they are beautiful though!
I loved it too!! I actually thought it would be my next bike for a long time, but now that the time has come... I guess I'm just not a cruiser girl for this next bike!
You should at least take one for a test ride ! Super comfortable.. tons of smooth power.. very sporty for a cruiser :-)
I always liked the Triumphs!
This was so funny to watch. I like you already
Doodle.... Yeah I know.... This an OLD vid to you... But I just watched it for the 1st time... youre just TOO MUCH Doodz.... & please be sure to know I say that in a most positive way.... You just squealed so much test-riding that bike! 💕 Love how you are GF... never ever change 😊😊😊
That was a joy 2 watch.... What a prize....
Fun video as a Bonnie owner, the screaming is warranted . I have the 2022 t 100 ( even better) and love it! I keep it in my master bedroom right next to my bed
Nice video. Thanks for sharing
Hi Doodle. How does the new T100 compare to the T100 that you previously own? Since you sold that since it was a heavy bike.
Hi dood love your vlogs don't compromise wait and buy the bike you want I bought a street triple r2016 about 3weeks ago and I love it I saved and waited and saved and waited and I'm glad I did I've got the bike that I want. I had a boneville in around 1978 it was one of the most fun bikes I've ever had so go for it but make sure you defo want it because you don't want to change it for something a bit sportier in 6 months time all the best from Dundee Scotland
you're right, thanks Derek!!
I love how you talk about changing the gears at mph you are adorable 😍
I love the triumph motorcycle.
Please make sure that your next bike is so enjoyable for you.
Got to 4:55 and the screeching made me turn it off. That was horrible.
Dan Carroll brave man
never compromise!!!
+Psychnurse Chris nevaaaaa!!!!
Oh my God this girl is so excited. I'm cracking up over here
🤪😃
Never settle. If you have to,,,,just wait until you can get what you want. otherwise you will be very disappointed. I hope that your bike is ok and nothing too serious. Good luck to ya!
thanks, Foy!
get the bike you want girl!!!
+Psychnurse Chris yes!!!
Are you High?
how about the new 2018 triumph speedmaster!!! I can't wait to go test drive one!!! Totally crushing on that one it has the bobber engine just with a classic cruiser design.
My wife is convinced I am watching something you don't normally find on TH-cam. LOL. Cracked me up to watch you have fun on the bike. Great stuff.
Oh dang it! Gotta remember to put a disclaimer up!
Review was dope reaction made me laugh! Lol
Nice video Doodle! I would still look at a Kawasaki Vulcan s or a Vulcan 900 lt. The Vulcan s has the motor of a sport bike and the body of a cruiser. The Vulcan S also can get adjustable pegs, seats, and handle bars (from the dealership). This combo will give you the right size bike for you. The Vulcan 900 lt is a nice lightweight motorcycle (600 pounds is light for a full dressed v-twin motorcycle) that resembles the traditional cruiser. Both of these models can get taller windshields, saddlebags, and passenger rests. You have a lot of time to get another bike. FYI. The cold months are the best time to buy. I bought my Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager in the middle of winter. It was a new 2016 model. I managed to get a better deal because it was the off season for motorcycles. I got 3400 dollars off the new sticker price in January. These prices start occurring around October. That is when you should start looking. I wanted a cruiser for low maintenance and the comfort. The 1700 motors from Kawasaki have special self adjusting valves so I never have to worry about adjusting them. It is belt driven, so I don't have to constantly oil the chain or change the rear end shaft drive fluid every couple years. The motorcycle is fuel injected, so I only have to add fuel injector cleaner once and a while to keep it running at its best. I only have to worry about basic maintenance like oil changes, tire changes, and brakes. That is usually the main reason why people love cruisers. They like them for their comfort, low maintenance, and reliability. I hope this information helps and gives you something to think about!
Neat! I've eyed those bikes before but I'm just not a cruiser girl anymore...
That is fine Doodle. Make sure you get the bike that you find is best for you. If you want to know what your Bonneville competes with, it competes with the Harley Davidson Sportsters and the Ducatti GT 1000. There are also many different flavors of the Bonneville to chose from as well. After you look around enough, you will find the perfect bike for you. Also, I find that using the website cycletrader.com helped me find my motorcycle in the winter. Give that website a try for some Bonnevilles!
yep the Kawa Vulcans S (650 , 2 cyl) is a real rival to Bonneville, nice bike in the price bracket range lower price than Triumph Modern Classic Boneville.
Did you see/try The Bonneville America? cruiser style in Bonneville family nice cruser as easy as the Bonneville classic very different than the S40 on the road (not like the lawn mower engine of the S40). It exist some sporty cruisers that act more like sport bikes like kawasaki vulcan cruisers, nice nice nice!
Owen Hasler thank you!! I'll check that site out
I understand about Harley owners. I had three Harley's but a closet Triumph lover. Sold the Harley last year now time for a Triumph Bonneville T100 :-)
Ahhh this is an oldie!! I love me some Harleys after riding a few in slow speed skills classes and on the back of a good friend’s
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle So now you prefer Harley over Triumph Bonneville? LOL
Lmao😂😂This would probably be me!
:D
Lol this video legit is pure love at first ride😍🔥 enjoy!!!
Bonneville. classic bike. Rich history. Look it up, its pretty cool.
It is!
Bonneville Street Twin is almost identical same engine as the T100 same ABS same stability control same Clutch assist but only a clock over the bar and less money
and your salesman dont know the bike , the T100 is 5 speeds the Bonneville T120 (1200 cc) is 6 speeds. the Street Ttwin is 900 cc 5 speed too!
And Huhh you look better biker on The Bonneville!
yup! now on the look out for any of the classic Triumph models with the Bonneville engine- Street Twin, Scrambler, etc...
I test rode the Street Twin recently!! And the Street Cup! Both lighter than the Bonneville! I friggin loved them... too much... D: videos coming soon!!
You strike me as the sort of person that does the research. I don't care so much for the Harley thing either. I started looking at Triumph's but I can't get much information them such as reliability especially long term. I've seen a few people mention not to by a European motorcycles because of reliability issues, maintenance costs, etc. I'd like to know what your thoughts are. I used to ride sport bikes however i haven't ridden for quite some time and as Ive gotten older I find that I want to relax on something a little tamer. Ive even considered a 05 Yamaha 650 just like yours except in black. I'm drawn to the simplicity, one piston, one spark plug and one carburetor. However i am 6 feet, 235lbs and I don't know if I'm just a little to big. What advice do you offer?
Thanks, Matt.
Some people totally love the 1 cylinder, low ccs for life! Not just beginner! If I didn't ride with sport bike riders, I would've been totally happy with the S40 for much longer. I think best thing is to sit on the bikes at dealerships, see if you like them.As far as maintenance and reliability issues... here's a link to the most and least reliable rates, chart shows percent fail rate- which even for the "least reliable" bikes, isn't that bad. www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2015/04/who-makes-the-most-reliable-motorcycle/index.htm
"It's so smooth!"
Probably has oil in it... Too soon? lol
Forever too soon 😭😭😭
Did you buy it after all?
would you say this type of bike would be recommended to get my motorcycle license? or maybe too heavy ?
It was definitely too heavy for me!! At 5’4” and 109 lbs at the time - I couldn’t flat foot it, and since it wasn’t low enough to keep my flat foot, so I dropped it many times. If you’re much taller and stronger than me, you’ll probably be fine, but to make it even easier on yourself, a cruiser with a low seat would be ideal for slow speed first time class - those are sooo easy to not be clumsy with, unlike something higher.
its a street bike, retro style great video s Doodle
This was six years ago. You bought one of these and then sold it because you said it was too heavy and you kept dropping it. It proves to all of us that first impressions can deceive us.
I hope that your S40 is ok, nothing serious. Ive never tried to ride a Triumph, but I di ride a Suzuki m50 about 3 weeks ago, it also is a very smooth ride, 'shaft drive' I would have to drink a lot of coffee to stay awake riding that bike, it is just like sitting on a comfy couch. you are young; buy the bike you really want.
Thanks, Phil!! Ooooh m50 the big brother to our bikes!!
wow I want to ride with you, you're passionate in all the ways it counts.
:D
Are you gonna check out the new Trident?
If I can get my hands on one!
What is the difference between the Street Twin and the Boniville?
Check out this chart comparing the two, Zechariah: auto.ndtv.com/compare-bikes/triumph-bonneville-t100-1127-vs-triumph-street-twin-1249-vs-triumph-bonneville-t120-1251
About the sound your S40 made at the end of the video i presume you've got the infamous timing chain tensioner problem . it can be costly! this occure often at 12-15 k miles .
Sportster cams, of course, are driven by gears instead of chains, so this is never a problem with Sportsters. Bah on overhead cams; the more one knows about Sportsters, the better they resonate!
Timing chain tensioner problem? Haven't heard of that... I've got a belt drive though
Denis is referring to the chain inside the engine that connects the camshaft(s) which operate the valves, to the crankshaft which moves the piston(s). Your external belt is the final drive that transfers the energy from the 5-speed transmission to your rear wheel. Chains stretch/break and generally must be tensioned/adjusted or they can cause premature failure. The classic example of this miserable design is the Harley Davidson "twin-cam" engines in their touring series of bikes. Another reason why the Sportster remains the most reliable motorcycle ever built: no timing chains, only gears.
man that bike's got a few rough things about it...
Damn love those Triumphs! That is a hard decision to make. Wait or not to wait.... I guess it comes down to you and what you really want. If you really want that Bonneville then wait til you can get it. If you just can't wait and really want something other than what you are riding at least try to maybe find a used Bonneville. I hope nothing serious is wrong with yer bike you may not have the choice to wait if it died on ya :(
thanks, its2!! lookin for one of the used Triumph classic models
Very cool!
How tall are you? Because I want to get a triumph Bonneville but I worry about my height
I'm 5'3" (160cm) it's low enough for me. I'm not totally flat foot, but just enough that I am comfortable
Doodle On A Motorcycle thank you for replying :)
I love this type of Bike. In this type, I love the Moto Guzzi V7.
Oh yes that one's beautiful!
I like and own a Triumph also a Moto Guzzi and you may want to check one out before you make a decision as it happens to be my favorite and I also own a Harley and a few Japanese bikes too.
Your enthusiasm is most beguiling.
Thanks!
That's one long screaming orgasm you had when you set off lol.... I had the Bonneville 865cc, now riding a Harley Street 750cc. However seriously considering the Triumph Bobber 1200cc (So pleased Triumph have added fuel gage to the new bikes) x
Paul Shepherd wait till she test ride the triumph rockett which is 2300 cc....lol you havent heard screaming yet
still waiting for that hayabusa test drive Dood
Psychnurse Chris :D
hayabUSAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
What gloves are you wearing?
Perforated Icon Pursuit leather gloves!
Doodle,
DON'T compromise.....
WAIT til you can get
bike YOU WANT.
a MCist of more than
50 years.
Did the spark plug come out?
You'll find out soon!! :D
But we want to know now!!!!
>:D
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Doodle, life is so short. Go for it! Today's price is tomorrow's down-payment. Argue with them! Make them throw in a windscreen at the very least! I cannot believe that in this spotty economy that motorcycle sales are terribly strong.
LOL working on it!
It started out so good, but the love affair with the Bonnie didn't last. Can't say you didn't try. I just test drove that same model. Pretty sure that's going to be my next bike. I'm 6 foot 175 pounds, so I won't have the same problems you had with yours. Lots of tar snakes on those roads. I hate those things.
Triumph should be paying you to run clips from this as an ad.
They’ve given back beyond what I could’ve imagined 😁❤️ th-cam.com/play/PLTQU1JIgQDN6f8x7FfiNWghcasAfZyDS-.html
Question, is it smooth ? :)
Bahahahhaha
I cannot believe they let this woman test-drive !
They and many others let her test drive! You better warn them
Yeah that didn't sound so good on the highway with Charlie. :( Maybe look at a used Honda CB1100 too, a couple low miles ones on craigslist now for decent prices.
Oh those are beautiful!! Thanks, fleemos!
i scream too when i ride my 2003 Bonnie .....LoL
It died of heartache.
+Yang Yeh truthhhhh
My girlfriend who is upstairs just accused me of watching porn...
of you are still in the market check out the Honda ctx700 you can find left over 2014 ones for 4k and for the money you will not find a better bike.
Those are some really nice looking bikes!
Doodle On A Motorcycle they say it gets 64 mpg but I'm getting around 70 on hilly country back roads. It's got enough power to keep you at any speed limit in the US. and it's really comfortable with excellent handling.
Neat!! I actually looked at those for a little bit too, but man I just couldnt stop thinking about the Bonneville
if you were in PA id let you go for a spin if you can test ride one you won't be sorry.
Well Doodle, did you buy the bike?
heck yea! th-cam.com/video/86Wyw-OIJaA/w-d-xo.html
Glad to here that. It would have been a shame if you had passed a bike that pleased you so much (yes, I remember the test ride before I bought my first new bike). I am sure you will get a lot of advice and comments from those of us who are familiar with these bikes, but I do suggest you order the service manual and read it as you have time. That way, you can make sure the bike is maintained the way it should be (and I know you want to). Happy riding, I am excited for you!
OH yes I'm on round #3 of reading my service manual.
Do me a favor please, test ride the triumph rockett lol video tape the road test and post it on TH-cam, i want to see your crazy reaction at its optimal level.
i'll see if i can find one ;D
Did you look at the 2017 Triumph Street Twin? If so, what did you think of that bike? If not, maybe you might want to give that bike a test ride and see how it compares to the Bonneville, no?
www.triumphmotorcycles.com/bikes/classics/street-twin/2017/street-twin
For fun, did you consider trying the 2017 Triumph Bonneville Bobber?
I didn't like the look of the Bobber, and I do love the Street Twin too! But not finding it in my price range
I think that guy at the end drained Charlie's oil and that's why he died, but it's just a theory
LOL
She will be American then
Cute
🤪
was that good for you too.. ?
LOL
Nice bike! Like and subscribe.....👍👍👍🤜🤛
That's what she said to the entire video
🤣🤣🤣
Use the entire lane, not keeping to the right. Cars might then try to pass in your lane... danger...
Funny how you love everything about the bike yet sold it cos it was a bit heavy for you..
Yup. More time with a bike particularly when you’re newer rider as I was when I made this bike - you don’t know what you don’t know so you don’t test it out until you struggle with it later
I've gone deaf!!!!!!
sowwwwwy :D
triumph bone-ville
😂👏
OMG! I lasted until 3:01 and I had to turn her off.
Rude.
Charlie! NOOOOOOO! Sounded like a valve.... Suckage!
D ' :
my ears hurt lol
: []
I had the volume up to high haha
Love your video's but this one is not your best in my opinion because of the first couple of minutes. You sounded like a 14 year old girl at a Justin Bieber concert. 😂
Sounds about right 😂
