New Triumph Bonneville T120 motorcycle

This is about my new 2023 Triumph Bonneville motorcycle and why I chose this bike over all the others that are available. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. It's a very solid bike with a high build quality. it has plenty of power and is very relaxed and comfortable to ride, just a very easy bike to ride.

I'm 6'4" and I love the low center of gravity on these Triumphs. I thought about buying an "adventure bike" but thank God I didn't. I like the smoothness of the Bonneville. Hard to beat.
I like the blue on this bike of yours.
Concerning electronics, mine doesn't have ABS and I've just become accustomed to sliding and losing traction in certain scenarios. I go out and fool around with braking to get it the rear to lock up and I'm fairly comfortable with some level of brake lock up now. It reminds me of the bike I had as a kid. Just a motorcycle with no technology. Love it.

I totally agree with everything you said, I owned a GS and then a Tiger 1200. Great bikes, but not very engaging. I now have a Bonneville T120 Black and absolutely love it. It does everything you need but with style.

Well done Greg, you have ticked so many boxes that us 'older' riders are having to reconcile. Owning a bike that you are not worried about manhandling in the garage or car park is worth so much more than owning the latest missile loaded with so much 'tec' that you will probably never change once set : and it will leave some money to spend on trips ! Thank you.

These are great bikes. I have the same one in the same colour. I had the side panels painted blue and it transformed the bike. Good choice :)

You clearly love motircycles and this one brings you joy.

Hey Greg 🦇😎👍 I have one too and love it.
Hope you’re still enjoying yours. I’ve subbed so let’s see more ✌️😁

Good morning!! Mike here, I finally got my DGR T-120, I love it

[alexsandovallapostol]

You are right on with your assessment ! could not have said it better myself and I have been on a similar journey and you have articulated your decision perfectly

Beautiful motorcycle and great video. Well played sir…well played.

I have the exact same bike and color, bought this April. I've had several Triumphs, bought my first one 60 years ago, picked it up in London. Have had other Japanese bikes as well, but the Bonneville always touched my heart. Didn't even look at the Harleys and "insect" ADV bikes. Sold a Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 to buy it, no comparison in my mind. Like you, I love the Aegean Blue, my dealer hasn't gotten another one since. (Or even another T120).
Nice video, thanks.

I bought the same bike in the same color for all of the same reasons! I have also put some bags on it similar to yours. Love this bike! I hear what you are saying about the center stand. I need to get one.

Hi Greg, I'm Dante from Germany. Congratulations, my Bonnie is T120 also but Black/Matte (August 2023). It's a motorbike that conveys confidence, presence and highlights her style. Enjoy it 😉

I agreed with every single comment you made. My wife has had hers for about a month now and she loves it. Her screen and centre stand are on order! For me it needs to be a little bit bigger, but it's a beautiful machine. I'll probably go for the Scrambler XC for the height. By the way it's made in Thailand, not Taiwan.

beautiful bike! i own an aprilia rs660 but want to get the bonneville t120 as a second bike :) my granddad used to drive a horex and i really really love the style of those bikes. and of course, triumph quality is just awesome. had a daytona 675 some years a go and was impressed by the quality.

[ralphrotten]

Bought the exact same bike in April. For all the same reasons, along with the fact that used to own a 1960 Bonneville. Old guy nostalgia. It's a great bike and no problems to date. Shame to store it for the winter but here in Montana winter has started...

Like the T120 except for it having Tube Tires !
I agree with you about the need for a center stand, and really like your Bags; thanks for the video !

[michaelpopelka]

Your video sounds just like my reasons for buying a T120! I bought mine new in 2021 as a new leftover 2020 and it came stock with heated grips, a center stand, chrome seat rails and a radiator guard but no cruise control which I added within the first year of ownership. I’ve also put on the Madstad quick removable windshield for cool weather riding plus a couple thousand dollars of accessories. 3500 miles to date and though I’m not riding as much as I’d like to I’m totally devoted to this brand, I hope to do a bit more riding in the future. Enjoyed your video and your perspective.
