I took one for a test ride, and could not stop thinking about it. Was not in the market for a new bike, so tried to just forget about it. But then a week later had my bike in for a service, and took another ride on the Bobber, and ... bought it. No regrets, such an awesome bike. :)

I bought my Bobber one week ago. I’m 5’8” with exceptionally short legs so the Bobber a good fit but I’m going to add Motone risers. Riding was fine around town but when I got on a higher sped road the suspension harshness was revealed. I weigh 155 and the rear shock does almost nothing at higher speeds. I’ve ordered a springer seat tailored for my weight. Still the most beautiful bike I know of.

What a classic look.

That looked like a lot of fun 👍👍

Great review, it sounds great too.  I saw one today at a bike cafe and it's a nice change from the usual 👍

I keep looking at this Bobber, would suit me fine. Few years back I had a Speedmaster & it was taken all over Europe. I'm 67 @ the moment.

I am 5. foot 5 inch currently own a 2018 Kawasaki Zed 900 naked and a 2023 Harley Soft tail standard with low drag bars. I have been looking at the Triumph bobber... sat on one and it feels so perfect... right in between both of my bikes. I may be puchasing one soon very soon. if I can make room in the barn I think I would have bought her already. thanks for sharing your experience on the beautitful machine. I have not been around a British bike since my first bike when I was 15 years old. it was a 1967 650 BSA Hornet, I still remember the wentworth tools I needed to wrench on her, Stay in the wind.👍👍👍

I wouldn’t have thought that bike would handle or be comfortable so I’m surprised at how you found it , it just shows you can’t go by looks or pr-conceived ideas 👍🏍

Beautiful

I love that sound I think all the bonneville range sounds great though , bet you will miss it . Thanks TAYM .

A handsome bike from the rear , very vintage looking with it's commodious seat  . It would look even better with a narrow front tyre and an 8" headlight . Swept back bars would reduce the straining .
I have heard that the short suspension travel bottoms out quite easily . Maybe just a flaulent rumour .
Perhaps this is a petarade foisted upon us by other reviewers who don't know their *rse from their elbow .
I am sure that Uncle Stu , who , advanced of years , uses his bobber more frequently than your youthful self .
I was worried that you wouldn't like this bike , it is quite a relief to know that you concentrated on the job and passed it with easily with flying colours .
I suggest an additional colour , a resplendent khazi , the " Thomas Crapper Limited Edition ".
I would feel flushed with pride , if I rode one .
That's enough for now , I must go .

This video, I have watched all the way through and I concur pretty much fully with all the points you make. I've now ridden the Bobber twice, once in its original incarnation and once earlier this year and it's currently neck and neck with the Rebel1100T in my affections. Both have excellent engines, handle and fit me well. The Triumph has the Charisma, but the Honda has the amazing DCT transmission. My Rebel review is out tomorrow at 6pm (hint hint) and I shall probably follow up with a comparison video of the two. Oh and I met Hippo-Drones and Phil480 today too. Hurrah!

Like you I am 6'2", I like the low seat height and the slight lean forward to the bars. However due to arthritis in my knees I went with the floorboards and heel/toe shift lever, which I absolutely love. The low down torque gives it an excellent ability to briskly accelerate when required, whilst being easy to ride at a gentle cruising pace too. The handling is surprising, far more nimble than one would expect with it's fat 16" wheels, though I do find the short travel suspension will occasionally bottom out on pot holed roads.

I haven't ridden the Bobber but I have sat on one and, as a short person, I can tell you I found it instantly uncomfortable. The bars are far too low and I end up leaning forward with my arms at pretty much full stretch. I would have to have taller bars and probably pulled back slightly. I find the T120 supremely comfortable and have no issues at all with all day or even multiple days riding it is one of the most comfortable bikes I've ever ridden.

effortless overtaking and good if you're constipated no doubt hahaha ....I really liked the Massive Harley review too

I want this in matte green with a brown seat. But it has the perfect look ivebeen wanting off the lot

Nice clip Taym, bike suits you. Like the proper footpeg placement but it needs buck bars or small ape hangers, or better still, the bars off a Speedmaster, would give you the upright riding position without the reach to the bars. Don`t know why more dealers don`t have an in shop facility to customise these things new, to buyers satisfaction before they leave the shop,  "Bespoke Spokes", or  "Andys  Andlebars"  perhaps?  Last one I did with the pull-back bars was a  Yammie 600N fantastic comfort - all day riding.

Awesome review. I really like my Bobber. Only thing I do not like is the smallish fuel tank and if you hit one of them invisible pot holes in the road. They are also a bit on the heavy side for their size. Other then that great for a cruise. Would never sell mine.

Sure is a nice machine,  by the way are vans allowed to drive down the middle of the road in the UK? Thanks TAYM.

Does the biz with the sound but not my style, and I want higher mileage, but each to their own on this one. Keep ducking and diving Mr Taym.
