As a 26 year old with a 19 Bobber black, this bike makes me want to break laws and go fast. It loves to be ridden at 8/10's. I can never get enough of mine. Over 1300 miles in under 2 months of ownership. And it's been ridden nearly every day since I got it.
I'm 65 and currently ride an MT-09, but I feel like I've been bewitched by the looks and the sound track of this bike. I am going to test ride one tomorrow. I enjoyed the video and your enthusiasm. My only concern is that it looked really bouncy. I had a Fat Bob for a few years and it was comfortable but at 800lbs and shook way to much, so I bought the MT-09 and I enjoy everything but the harsh engine braking. But this bike is just drawing me in, especially the Thornton Hundred video's. My wife almost divorced me over the Harley. Here we go again : )
Love my 2017 bobber. I use it for touring too though, I do get some strange looks. Hepco and Becker rack, 70ltr Oxford roll bag on the back and that's all I need for a week camping or touring.
I’ve kept the original silencers but with an X pipe decat’. When under load the sound is a fantastic heavy thump. I prefer it to the sound of straight through pipes.
I'm 60 years old and own a 2022 bobber and a 2021 rocket 3gt. I just love the bobber for what it is. The looks and how it feels like a hooligan bike in the city.
I'm looking to upgrade to one of those 2 bikes from my naked 650 Kawasaki. Initially liked the rocket 3r but considering the bobber now too. Have you got any comments comparing them both? I only have the budget and room for one unfortunately 😅
What is the Triumph Bobber. It’s a can do bike. Mine can carve around the tight bends of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Dales. It can bob along for six hour rides. With its screen on it can, so I’ve heard, happily sit on the Motorway at speeds above the legal limit.
Excellent review! I have had a few sports and tourers and the triumph America which always sticks in my head, wrote my Suzuki 650 off last September and the family banned me ..last month the ban lifted and I purchased one of these ...not rode yet but cannot stop looking at the thing,,, this video has put me balls back in the sack to get out and ride the thing !
After fitting a CoC spring to my bobber, I couldn’t stop laughing every time I went over the usual bumps and holes in the road. The difference in comfort is unbelievable.
@ I’ve been testing it and it does such a good job absorbing d harsh bumps that I’m able to stiffen my Fox shocks which is my preference. The trade off is that I feel less planted in my seat when I’m drag racing.
I disagree re comfort and cruising. I often go for more than 3 hour rides without issue. Yes, it urges you to blast along but is equally as enjoyable bumbling along. The torque is amazing and must be one of the best bikes I've owned.
@@paulsilson2148 no change. The x pipe balances out the exhaust gas so it’s just a lot more noise from one side compared to the other. But decatting was the biggest difference
Superb machines. I have the standard with the 19" front tire, i like that look better - the fats on both ends are too much, too bulbous. As is the larger tank they later went to. But as you said, to each their own. Lotsa guys like bulbous. I also like the pipes that come with the bike. Not only do they look perfect for the machine, they are not overly aggressive sounding - just right. The bike almost sounds like a European sportscar. The sound is there for sure but no one's gonna think you're just another obnoxious dude stranded in adolescence.
@@midlife-crysis I recall when they first came out with the fat front on one they said it had a negative effect on the handling but not really much. I know my bike handles flawlessly and is even surprisingly stable on gravel.
stopped watching at 1:40 "going somewhere to attack" i tottaly love cruising with mine on around 3k rpm doing B roads or highway in lower speeds. i get your passion but Triumph bobber certainly is not a bike to go out and attack even if its so agile
Do you realise that the police can still work out that you were speeding just by analysing your video and using the white lines on the road and how quickly you are passing them. So unwise to break the rules. 😮
who ever it was that was riding this bike, i hear that he faked the video and sped up the footage to look cooler. also lol, police having time or skill to be able to that stuff. they cant even find stolen bikes that have trackers on them in the UK.
all it takes is some old fart to pootle out of one of those side roads and you are a gonna riding like that. I hope you have life insurance for your wife and kids sake.
You can ride virtually any bike down a country road like your hair is on fire if you want to. Somehow, I think this is not the intended purpose for the Bobber, to me, its for chilled out, (especially with ape hangars), relaxed cruisin', taking in the admiring glances and the sights and smells as the world goes by. 🤣 The fact that it can boogie when required, is an added bonus.

love mine - my first bike - 54 years old - feels safe as houses and is the most beautiful modern bike to my eyes.
Wow, first bike at 54😮 well done 👏
@@ripmax333 i had to lose my craziness and sober up. ha ha
@@DexterDexter123 you are a true influencer 👏
Love the exhaust blast you show at the end of the video, really shows how powerful the engine is!
Good god that sounds absolutely phenomenal.
Pensacola Florida Bobber rider here. Love your content.

Your woohoos, exuberance, and pipe noise say it all. Amazing bikes.. I want one.
What a sound I felt like i was riding the bike with you.
This is the most amazing "review" of a Bobber. simply lovely.

@ They are totally different categories of bikes. They are both great bikes for what they are made for.
Sounds amazing, I must do mine, good video 👍🏻🖖🏻
What is the Triumph Bobber.
It’s a can do bike.
Mine can carve around the tight bends of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Dales. It can bob along for six hour rides. With its screen on it can, so I’ve heard, happily sit on the Motorway at speeds above the legal limit.
if I had this bike, I'd write "bober kurwa" on it.
Excellent review!

its a great bike even just for looking at and polishing and reving in the garage. so handy when the weather is total crap
I love my bobber. Only weakness is the rear suspension. Waiting on my CoC springer kit
After fitting a CoC spring to my bobber, I couldn’t stop laughing every time I went over the usual bumps and holes in the road. The difference in comfort is unbelievable.

It's funny you mentioned the CoC ... I just ordered one for my 2023
I disagree re comfort and cruising. I often go for more than 3 hour rides without issue. Yes, it urges you to blast along but is equally as enjoyable bumbling along. The torque is amazing and must be one of the best bikes I've owned.
i am going to test that theory out, doing a 3.5 hour ride this weekend to the highlands, will report on the state i am in from that ride
I now understand why my Bobber-owning mate is picking up speeding tickets at the rate he is.
no speeding was done in this video, footage was sped up to look cooler so i am told....
@@midlife-crysis I guess you have to ride slow because your speedo is all blurry.
@@sd3457its made in japan
what is the exhaust setup on this?
How is that on engine performance with 2 different pipes
@@paulsilson2148 no change. The x pipe balances out the exhaust gas so it’s just a lot more noise from one side compared to the other. But decatting was the biggest difference
@@midlife-crysis thanks
Nice,what year it's your bike?
2023
It's my dream 😢😊❤
so, not about going slow and relaxing?
I am thinking of upgrading my 250cc honda cl250 to this. Your video made me a bit afraid of this bike 😂
@@karga3662 it will be one hell of an upgrade! But you will fear parking it outside anywhere as it’s just too pretty.
Boy! you dont Ride chill do you?

@@tozobozo4142 would like to ride yours side by side mine, see how th 19 inch wheel affects handling compared to my 17 inch.
@@midlife-crysis I recall when they first came out with the fat front on one they said it had a negative effect on the handling but not really much. I know my bike handles flawlessly and is even surprisingly stable on gravel.
The exhaust looks stupid, but a very nice bike
there are 2 exhausts, which one do you think is stupid? the short drag pipe, or the big silver one?

I prefer the T120 Bonneville these things look fake a bit cheesy.
Subtle blurring. lmfao!

@@philcowdall9399 can be injured or killed going at 30mph as well. If we all think like that we will never ride our bikes
