Is the Triumph Bobber a good FIRST (big) bike? @OfficialTriumph

Looks good, sounds good, easy to handle, low ride height, loads of torque, and loads of fun up to legal speeds. great first big bike bike.

Gear I use

I got mine 2 years ago as a 1st bike finally at age 40. LOVE it! Altering some things right now but beautiful out of the box. Smooth, low for shorter riders and if your taller like me the mini apes make it pretty comfy. The only stress it has ever caused me was picking it up from the dealer for its 1st ride because I kept telling myself not to drop such a bike day 1 haha

Well thank you! I have been toying with this as the bike I am going to buy. I am not technically a beginner, yet it's been so long since I've ridden that I might as well be.
I love them so much, thank you for validating my choice!

This was my choice for my 1st big bike. Absolutely love it. You should remove those from reflective lights from forks. Easy too remove an bike looks better without them. They are not required for an mot

[scubasteve]

Yup couldn’t agree more. Such a great bike. I see the repairs went well after your collision ( lady hits your bike while you’re standing still).

i'm currently riding 2018 Bobber Black (matte)...it's my 2nd bike and i love it.

I had the Harley 883 for my first bike 4 years ago. It sounds amazing but rattles you to bits. I’ve been looking for an upgrade for a few months, and I’ve gone for the bobber stealth edition which arrive in 6 days straight out the wrapper. I’m so excited.

Beautiful bike and nice little review. I've been riding superbikes for 20 years and am finally coming to the realization that a change is in order, the thought of riding a completely different style of bike such as the bobber or speed twin is pretty scary.

Ah your in Edinburgh. Il keep an eye out for you on my rides through town. Looking to upgrade from my 125 to this as Iv not long passed my test. Great vid

[porkscratchings]

Yeah, that’s my next bike. Saw it at the Bike Show on the weekend, felt comfortable, I prefer my legs forward as opposed to like riding a horse, so this is great. Definitely will change the exhaust, put a short rear guard on and do the under seat rear light cluster. Think it will be a keeper for me 👍 Do you find it has a shorter turning circle ?

[c.g.c]

Though it has to be said that It's weight and lack of agility is not a great advantage if you're a beginner

[crowboy]

Lean angle.. is it ever a problem on winding roads when you're giving it a bit of thump or does you're riding style just adapt? My friends all ride sport bikes and I'm coming from a naked and I'm worried I won't keep up on rides? I'm hoping with the amount of torque this beast has I'll soon catch up after slowing down for the corners? Honest opinion????

my first bike at 53 years old. past a year ago. raised eyebrows from everyone when i tell them it’s 1200cc but she’s a pussy cat. it feels a thousand times less dangerous than the 125 i learned on. you learn to ride it so the bumps don’t matter as much after a few months. 3rd gear is so much fun. i’ve ridden nearly 5k miles in the year i’ve had it. i absolutely love mine. 🤘🏻. only thing i’d change is i’d make the entire bike slightly bigger. when sitting on it it feels big. but i look massive on it. 6ft 1.

[guzziman]

Great video, can I ask how big is the rider ?

[chadctb]

Great second bike. Hands down the most impractical motorcycle on the market. Chassis, engine hp and ftlbs lowest in its class (Scout, Nightster, R12)

[aesoundforge]

Not sure I agree its good for an absolute beginner. It has enough power to get you into trouble very fast. Especially the low end torque. Also its too expensive to drop! Make all your mistakes on a less expensive bike. Just my thoughts. Ive owned mine for 2 years and its my 3rd bike..

[alexanderenglund]

How tall are you? I’m 6’3” and curious if this bike is too small for comfort and if I’d look too big for it
