The Triumph Bobber | Even More Special Than I Imagined!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ธ.ค. 2021
- With thanks to Tenerife on Triumph motorcycle rentals ( www.tenerifeontriumph.com ) for lending me the Bobber! Prices are €140 a day, or €120 a day if booking for three days plus.
The day finally came- I had the chance to test out the Triumph Bobber!
I had a few hours to decide what’d be my pick between the Triumph Bobber and the Indian Scout Bobber, and also the Triumph Speedmaster .
And how would this heavy, modern classic bobber, with low ground clearance handle, and would it actually be fun!
I hope you enjoy it!

I really like the bobber, I am planning to test ride one.
However, I have sat on one and felt that it might be a bit small for me, felt a little cramped.
I could spend all day at a dealership and test ride everything, I'm sure it would really annoying the employees
I know exactly what you mean, I sat on a Bobber for the first time a couple of weeks ago and found it very cramped but it didn't have the forward foot controls which do make a world of difference 👍
@@andrewkay114 that is true about the forward controls. I don't recall if the one I sat on had forward controls or not, thinking probably not.
Very good points! Adam (the owner) put on ape bars and forward foot controls specifically to make the bike less cramped and I promise you it absolutely transforms the feeling of size on the bike. For me at 6’1, it feels perfect- the first thing I’d do if I bought one is apes and forward foot controls. I know apes are polarising, but I do love them and they give you much more space🙂👌🏻
@@FreddieDobbs yes agreed.
I can imagine with the Apes & forward controls it really makes a difference.
And for this bike they both look so damn good, this type of bike is exactly where those mods are at home.
I'm a fan of the aesthetic of apes, been considering them for my Harley, however, as it's my own mode of transport I'm not sure I'd want that for long journeys all the time.
I would imagine your arms must ache after awhile?
At 6'2" myself I do value your insights on these matters 👍
@@andrewkay114 I didn’t like how it felt. I bought the bonneville and happt
Monika's little sniggles in the background make me laugh. She thinks you have absolutely lost the plot 😂. Excellent video as always!
She’s just given up now I think and just lets me talk nonsense!😆
Gotta love the cafe scene with the "tough guy" music and the latte & baguette! "Scones of Anarchy!"
I'm a Scout Bobber owner, and I've been binge watching your videos. I absolutely love your enthusiasm and joy and excitment for the bikes you show. My favorite Triumph Bobbers are the ones prepared by Thornton Hundred, they are out of this world and TBH if the Scout Bobber didn't exist I would already be on one of these.
Thank you and Monica for all this content you guys make, your sheer excitment is contagious and I also love the fact that you include clothes styling & lifestyle into your videos.
Cheers and ride safe !
same here, I love Thornton hundred bobbers, just got to find a way of affording one, has to be on my bucket list
Those twisted exhaust are just 💦
You got to love Freddie reviews. The landscape, the mood, the info he gave, all fit exactly as it should. Greetings from Brazil.
Honestly my favourite bike review ever. All the details of why we love our bikes. Thanks man.
The triumph bobber came to my attention by pure accident, and in doing so, I felt the need to look it up on TH-cam, and found your video.
Freddie, I absolutely love your enthusiastic honest opinion, which clearly came straight from the heart. These are the kind of reviews that would make a consumer want to buy.
You’ve certainly helped put it on my number one list, so thanks mate.
I'm just getting into bikes and discovering all these great channels all about motorbikes and I have to say, you have a very calm, yet exciting way of showing things off that puts you in the top 3 at least.
Great video!
I got stuck on the diesel price at 1 euro a litre!
£1.48 in Blighty!!!!
Oh nice vid too
Another excellent video, Freddie and Monica!
The Triumph Bobber is the bobber to get in my opinion, although I am going for the Speedmaster to have the two-up riding option, as well as the super-comfy seat!
Freddie, watching your final thoughts on the Bobber, I was out-of-this-world impressed with the fact that you did that all in one take! While watching you, I kept thinking, ‘Freddie is a consummate pro!’ Literally all those thoughts conveyed brilliantly all at once. Incredible!
Also, you are spot-on about those of us looking at the new modern classics, quite the nitpicky lot indeed! Along those lines, twice in the video you commented on looking for a fit-and-finish squabble that you may have and could not find one, and I agree that the fit and finish on these new Tiumphs are superb. But I was reminded of your comment you made in your Speedmaster review video, and it was the only one squabble: the rear signal design was plastic instead of metal. And I agree 100% with that critique; it would really make a difference if it were metal like the front and rear mudguards. That’s a small critique, but I am one of those nitpicky ones. :-)
Brilliant as always. Cheers!
The way you describe this motorcycle makes it abundantly clear that you have a profound appreciation for beauty. The result of well executed fine craftsmanship is often more beautiful than most modern “art.” It is rare indeed that a thing can be beautiful, cool, and functional. The Bonnie bobber is obviously all three of these things.
Been riding my bobber with gusto throwing it around for the last 2 years and rarely scrape the pegs . Probably the best fun bike I’ve owned. Great video
I love the excitement in your voice and the passion you have for this bike. Great video, Freddie. I’m always going on about Zard, and they don’t disappoint on this machine!
Thanks very much Conor!🙂. You were absolutely right- best exhaust I’ve heard!
Nice work Freddie. You’re doing a great job with your channel. Really enjoying what you’re putting out. Thanks Monica for great accommodating camera work. I am deeply in love with this Bobber. Looks like you had a ton of fun with it in sunny Tenerife. If you’re ever in Vancouver BC the sea to sky is a magnificent highway for two wheels. Have a great Christmas.
I agree with other posters, Monika not only has a great professional eye for these videos, but I love her inputs, giggles, etc. she knows she has a big kid to keep in control. Good fun and well done.
Another great video, Freddie. This is the only moto content my wife will even watch, let alone enjoy. I test rode the Bobber Black before settling on my T120 Black, but I had the same initial impression of the Bobber you did. The handling was surprisingly good, especially in the corners. Probably good to note that this was a Bobber Black and not the regular Bobber. While some of the differences are cosmetic, the front wheel and tire are a different size, which definitely improves the handling for the Black. And the Black has two front disc brakes compared to one for the standard. At 5’8”, the apes would be a bit tall for me, but Motone makes a nice 1” up and 1” back riser, which would probably do the trick for me.
a spirited ride for sure, great review mate and full of Freddie passion as always. top stuff
Cool looking bike Freddie. Also Sounds great too. You look very proud of the bike. Watching from a very foggy UK on a Sunday morning drinking a hot coffee. Wishing I was in Tenerife riding that triumph. Keep up the good videos
This bike has solidified in my mind my dream bike- the Speedmaster (I need the rear seat)🖤👌🏻🏍
I’ve got my fingers crossed for a week of good weather for you back in the UK!🙂🤞🏻
Love your last 2 videos, probably best ones in Tenerife so far.
The aesthetic of this motorcycle, even the simple silhouette, is exquisite - vintage curves, classic lines, old-fashioned style. Thanks for the review.
Great riding with you, sorry if I was distracting you 😉. For the record, I did buy replacements for those pegs 😂
Great film. Loved it when you were styling it out in front of the diner. Put a smile on my face.
Really enjoyed your video mate. Honest, informative and enthusiastic.
Great video👍🏼👍🏼 Loved your passion for the Bobber and Monika's cute giggles
Love this bike it just looks so good. I’d go for this over the scout any day.
I appreciate your passion for bikes. Very fun to watch.
Great looking bike Freddie, sounds awesome too!
What a passionate review as usual Freddie. Now I have to go see your Indian Bobber vid.
Absolutely love your reviews Freddie!
As always, great presentation from Freddy!
Love your enthusiasm, man. Great review and video.
Just watched this great vid again. I went for the scout in the end (pure black with straight through pipes, proper BAMF style), but really do like that Triumph. Keep up with the good work Freddie.
Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thank’s Freddie and Monika
My dream bike! Love the enthusiasm with this review !
I don't even like bikes but I have to say Freddie your videos are exceptionally good viewing. An all round great youtuber, keep up the good work.
Brought back memories! Had one and traded in on an R18.
Miss the Bobber! Such a fun bike, especially for someone like me (opposite - am all of 5 ft 6!). Never scraped it, not that skilled, but yeah, as an around the town bike couldn't be beat. Plenty of compliments!!
Freddy you are the king of reviews and the poster boy for motorcycle enthusiast big fan yes that bike is absolutely stunning. Hard to believe a floating seat can be that comfortable
Fantastic looking bike. I think the new Bobber (2022) has a bigger fuel tank than that model. So many choices, and I went for the T120 (delighted with it), but almost went for the Speedmaster with the flat handlebar fitted.
Lovely video. Thanks for sharing.
I just bought one and i'm stoked as this lad! This machine IS the coolest one i've EVER owned!
Another brilliant one Freddie, what about that Beemer, fabulous, loved the epic soundtrack, spot on
Dude!!! Love this review makes me want to get a bobber Triumph, super super dope!! All the way from 📍 Los Angeles 🍺🍻
Yes yes yes I love that you said I'm parking this right outside the cafe so people can see it fantastic.....
I think the Bobber looks fantastic, and I know it doesn't quite answer your question if I was going for a modern classic it would have to be either the Triumph Speed twin, or Kawasaki Z900rs as I like a more sporty vibe, great video as always thanks Freddie and Monica.
Excellent review of such a Stunning motorcycle. Those two made their way to the top of my list and I ultimately chose the Scout. BUT.. it was a difficult decision to be sure. Both are exceptional bikes.
Great review ! I am between the bobber and the Speedmaster. Love the mini apes. Congrats to your camera lady for doing a great job too. I am looking for a Triumph Bobber now. :) Yes, the BMW was special.
Loved your enthusiasm
I'm looking at buying my first ever motorcycle and I have ALWAYS absolutely LOVED the look of Triumphs. They won me over before I ever thought of riding. Now that I'm here....man...the Bobber is just such an amazing piece of artwork. I don't want to baby a vehicle but I know this will be my pride and joy and make me want to get out on the road if I get it. What to do, what to do ...
Just buy it....
Enjoyed it very well. Bobber is just amazing.
Love those! Fully agree about the Simple Speed O
Very nice vlog Freddie, i’ll have to look once more. Got distracted by the fuel prices…🙄👍
Always a Triumph. One of my favorite bikes.
I ride the 2015 Triumph America to which I’ve added a custom single seat and 12 inch internally wired ape hangers among other things..I love my bike but I’m so happy to be part of the Triumph family when looking at what they are doing with their line up
When I watch this video for the 1st time i knew this bobber black was my next bike.😎👍👍👍
Great video Freddie, the best. That Bobber is sweet! It's on my short list. I think Triumph has put more engineering Into their motorcycle's than the other Bobber's. This factory motorcycle is better than any garage custom. You and your camera girl put an excellent video together. Btw, I liked the diner part. It did need to be seen.
People complain about American's using the "standard" system of measurement. This dude switches between metric and standard in the same sentence :-) Love this motorcycle! Great Review!
Love it can’t wait to get mine
That's a great looking bike. The floating seat is so freaking cool. A kickstart would put it over the top.
Honestly this might be the pinnacle of cool at the moment. The stance, look, sound, and performance all work well overall and for the pricepoint. I suppose the only problem arises if you have a partner.
The price point? A bobber is supposed to be a cheap bare bones parts bin bike that anyone can build by taking popular old models and removing everything until only the essentials are left. Most bobbers aren't even supposed to have a rear suspension or mud guards.
Triumph basically just imitated the look, added modern technology, and charged 15k for it.
This is overpriced hipster garbage. You're literally paying for something that LOOKS like a bobber.
No, you're literally paying for the speed master with a solo seat swapped for looks.
The Scout Bobber for me. Looks absolutely awesome. Subjective I know, and I am a Triumph fan but the Scout looks that much more of a head turner. Love your enthusiasm and I can see now why the mileage is so high on the Fiat - its been everywhere!
absolutely perfect bike. will be saving for june 2024 here in NY
Loved this pal 👍
awesome video perfect description of a beautiful bike and yes Triumph be my choice
Phenomenally well made video!
Haha Freddie had that james dean look when he pulled up and when he rode into the dinner 👍😂 awesome fun 🤩
I won’t lie- I like this comparison!😆
Triumph bobber ALL DAY LONG !!. I ride a lil sportster bobber which i customised lovingly over time but this is something else ! One of the most beautiful stock bikes ever made . Need to save up
Just bought a Speedmaster…pillion seat is coming off tomorrow. Best of both bikes 😎👍🏼
I bought the Triumph Bobber last year, no regrets. I'm in love and will never sell it! ❤
im thinking about getting one, but i looked at one saturday (wasnt allowed to sit on it) and it looked abit cramped ,the sit and foot peg position. im only 5.10
Living the dream in heaven guy’s for me by a hairs breadth the ( and I’m hesitating here ) Triumph 😤 great vid guy’s cheers : )
i have the 2018 bobber black. to this day, still put a smile on my face whenever o ride her
Thanks for your great review! I bought one today with the mini ape bars and cat system removed from the dealership.
People need to see this BIKE 👍😂😎 another great video, Monica and Freddie, keep well and fit my dears, GOD BLESS, greetings from COLD AND RAINY Germany 👍😎🇬🇧🇩🇪
Thanks very much Colt- Christmas greetings over to Germany!🙂
SAMCRO. Nice forward controls and bars. Once I buy mine I'll be doing the exact same thing. Cheers!
Love the look of this bike .
I ride a 2018 Triumph Speedmaster and would have a Bobber in a heartbeat.... nothing to choose between them. And you are right, scraping your pegs does take a bit of getting used to, but never a biggie - if you remember the peg bends up on a spring and you are not going to dig into the ground and be fired off the bike. But do back off a bit - as that is what the lean angle indicator is there for.
Have the mini apes on my 2017 Triumph Bobber aswell...love it...you my friend are a master of the proper English language/ dialogue......peace from Canada
Love it Freddie. I’m sitting on a deal on one that I test rode yesterday at my local Triumph dealer. I’m making a decision on it Tuesday. I’m in love with it.
Hey Mike buy the fucker! So much fun so many mods you can do. I've had mine for three years now and love the bloody thing. See you back on your channel mate ;-)
@@BobberRider haha hell yeah man!! I will be deciding on Tuesday. It was one of the best experiences I’ve had on a stock bike.
@@UncleBogator Just do it mate. If you want parts that you can only get in the UK or Europe shout me up I'll buy them and post to you no probs. Also have a look at the Triumph Bobber Forum - loads of good folks there from all over the world.
Great video buddy !! I am a new and short rider (5-6). And after analyzing and compared this bike to others (RNineT, Scout Bobber) I decided to go with the Triumph Bobber. My brand new bike is stored for the winter 😁and I have a countdown to 100 days before I can ride it for the first time. Your video confirms that I made a good choice. Mine is a 2022 model and so it has the front upgraded 47mm suspension, but as for the rear I am waiting to see how it rides to see if I need to upgrade the rear mono shock. lmk what U think.
Very nice video - I‘ll buy a bobber this week 💪🏼
"Need to park it outside the Dinner, people need to see this bike", that comment cracked me up.
I've always loved the Triumph Promo Industrial photo shoot of the Bobber.
If I bought one it would be gloss black for easier cleaning and just being able to wipe the tank clean with a trigger spray instant polish and wipe product.
It really is a proper showing-off kind of bike😆
I LOVED that Triumph promo too!
And I’d probably be with you on the gloss black too👌🏻👌🏻
Another great video. The BMW looked nice, better than the new ones! That pillion seat would go well on the Bobber.😎
Good test, beautiful sound. How Jack Tellers, son of anarchy, jejeje.
Great movie, Ive had the triumph bobber black and the Indian scout and to tell you the truth I still could not say which I preferred you are right they are gorgeous bikes which have their similarities both head turners, I miss them both.
Loved the video Freddie :)
Hi, Triumph , thanks for this vidéo
Imagine how happy I am, yesterday Algeria won the FIFA Arab Cup 2021 !
I woke up and got your video notification, what else :) even though I don't like bobbers. No sit for Monica, so forget about it :)
Cheers from Algiers.
Congrats Algeria- amazing!!!!!😀🇩🇿🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾
@@FreddieDobbs Thanks Freddie! Maybe we'll meet England (again) in next World Cup 2022 ⚽ 😁
Such a badass bike. Look at the Union Flag on the rad! Love it.
Freddie, I come back to this review every few months coz the bobber is my dream bike. However, with a toddler in the house and hopes for a second one day soon I can’t justify the cost at the moment but one day, it will be mine. That being said, I’ve tried desperately to get one for a test ride but there are none anywhere! Can’t even find them to hire!
Being a bit long legged, I got a 2020 Bobber Black with the optional floorboards as a 70th birthday present for myself. The floorboards seem to make it as near a perfect riding position as I could ask for.
Hi Freddie yes less is more the simplicity of the speedo clocks the front light the small refinements . One great Style of the hole bike you can have all the power in the world but one thing gives you that jenesequa is that feeling inside your home on the bike you just want to ride with miles of smiles . :) . Rolley
Very well said Rolley- completely agree!
That’s it got me in the mood! Off out on the Street Scrambler 👍
Enjoy!🙂🤘🏻🤘🏻
Haha, love your enthusiasm!
Great review mate! There's some serious badassery mixing a pommie accent with ape bars.
My neighbor has that exact same bike, a 2019 Triumph Bobber in all black, but with standard bars.
He parks it next to my V-max in our underground garage. and regularly scrapes the pegs as he makes the 90 degree righthand turn up the garage ramp.
At a height of 170cm (5ft 7), he says the seat height is just perfect for him.
He says the only drawback is that the servicing costs are incredibly high here in Korea.
What a beautiful couple you two are, may you prosper always.
Good stuff brother
Y'know as soon as I saw the beginning of that vid and saw you on that bobber with Ape Hangers, I said --- Is this a new episode of "Sons of Anarchy". Love the look!
Man those black boots and jeans...fire man fire❤️
I am going to buy one for sure.
Happy 100K!!!
Lol. Good video. A buddy and I used to see who could run the front pegs down to the point of needing replacement. Shiny side up
