I’ve owned mine for a year, and this guy is right, it turns heads everywhere!!!
Also the foot peg scraping is accurate.
I can’t ever see myself selling my bobber that how much I love it.
The worst point for me is the size of the fuel
Tank, it’s painful keep filling it up.

I have one and get excited prior to every ride. I’ve had many bikes over the years and it is without doubt the best of them all.

I’ve now watched this way many times both before and now that I also own a BB, after having good times and experience on Harley sportys I’m not crying a bit and reminiscing, good bikes but the bobber black both with the tech and the torque is phenomenal.

I opted for Fox suspension spring with forwards, padded seat and high bars . Absolutely pride and joy so it is Stuart .

Thanks for the honest assessment. No bike is perfect (my F800GT was about the closest I got). She is gorgeous.

This is truly a great piece work of art.

At 6’4” and 17st the standard rear shock was as you would imagine way out of its comfort zone in just about every sense of the phrase. So I opted to install the adjustable Fox shock which I was very pleased to find transformed the bike entirely.

There are now a number of other rear shock options on the market from Wilber, Ohlins and Nitron... the latter of which I’d have most likely opted for if available at the time of looking to replace the standard item. I have run Nitron’s on many of my race cars over the years and they have an uncanny knack of being superb when looking to push on yet compliment on U.K. roads.

Ohlins of course have a Stirling reputation but based on experience I find them to be better suited to track work and very expensive.

None the less I am happy with the rear Fox shock and will look to spend money on other areas of the bike ahead of revisiting the suspension.

Nice review in any case Stuart... looking forward to seeing the bike develop as time goes on 👍

Wish more people could be as transparent with these things as you. Great video & such a beautiful bike. Currently looking into the Speed Twin, would love this if I didnt have a sportster already. Big shout out from Puerto Rico ✌🏼

Fantastic real-world review, so much more useful than a standard first-ride review. Thank you, Stuart.

Appreciate the brutal truth. I'll need to ride one to see how hard of a ride it really is. Thanks for the great video.

I really don’t make comments regarding YouTube vids, but I will here. When I hopped on this bike I didn’t really have great expectations. When I came back to the dealership, I didn’t want to get off. I am not exaggerating. I loved this scooter! I loved everything about it save one thing and that was the controls in the back position. I like them forward, but all else was rootin tootin lovely. I want one and I want it now! One great trumpet, pardners.

Nice shots in the beginning of the video. Im glad you don't punch out fake reviews like the majority. My wife and I love your videos, seeing how we have a Street twin and im about to pick up a T120 Ace.

I'm 66 yrs old and have ridden cycles since I could afford to by my first bike (13 yrs old). This bike pulls on every nostalgic heart string I could muster. I will be seeking one very soon.
I felt compelled to complement you on your insight and words that only a true biker of many years would understand ... you have struck quite the chord with me and I look forward to viewing your current catalog as well as those of the future. Cheers

I'm going from a Street Twin to a 2022 Bobber. The Street Twin has a very neutral riding position and confortable seat and suspention, but... I've alteady made the mistake to do a testride on the Bobber. Hard rear suspension, little ground clearence, foot pegs wanting to scrap all the time, but I'm prepared to ignore everything because of how the bike feels. Couldn't find that feel anywhere else!

Very accurate in your description of the ride quality. Loved the looks, handling and fit and finish. The punishing ride caused me to send her packing and back to the dealer. I ended up buying the T120 black in matte grey. Fantastic bike. As always, great review Stuart!

Add the Fox Shock, it was the first modification I made, worth every penny. There was no way me and the original shock were ever going to get along. For the life of me I cannot understand why Triumph signed off on it.

A lot of the comments Stuart I think could also be attributed to the T120.
I came to this bike after many years of owning a BMW R1200 GS adventure, With great hesitancy i May add, as a slight tear rolled down my cheek as the Beemer left my drive.
Now after a year of ownership of the Bonneville I have to say I’m enjoying it very much indeed, just something about her, very enjoyable to ride.
The suspension though has a lot to be desired. My wife said to me last week, why are you buying more stuff for the bike when it already has that stuff!
Me feels she doesn’t quite understand!
Most stuff is not of course through need, it is aesthetics starting as you mention ‘the blank canvas’, and the joy of ownership and making her MY bike!
Keep up the good work😉!

Was the video that ultimately helped me decide to get it for myself. Seattle WA.
