Speed Twin 1200

I been riding motorcycles for 50+ years. One thing I learned. I wish I kept them all. that being said for the first time I have 2 bikes in my stable , a 2018 Kawasaki Zed 900, and my dream to own a new Harley... just got a 2023 softtail standard(the only Harley I could buy with cash). Now I will be saving for the Triumph 120 chrome collection bobber. You may want to keep that beauty.

Higher seating position, more sporty engine, better off-road capabilities ? Seems like you bought the wrong bike 🤔

Not sure you meant to come of so smug, but yes those are the things she listed in the video in what she now wants in a bike. I don’t think she bought the wrong bike, like she said ‘ it was the perfect bike’. But she has evolved as a rider and is now looking for different things. It’s cool to see how well the bike performed for her as she pushed her and the bikes comfort zones!

I was thinking the same thing. It’s pretty obvious you wouldn’t contemplate buying this bike if you’re ever going off road, lol. An all round bike would probably be the KTM 790r.

Hi Gene. I agree with your positive comments on the Bonnie, and completely with the suspension comment, as I wish mine had better also. So glad you enjoyed your Bonnie and understand when it's time to move on. I don't know what would replace your Bonnie but I'm guessing something like maybe the 765 Triumph Triple... Good luck with whatever you get, and be sure to bring us along.

Gene, you broke my heart! I've told you several times when you're ready to sell, I'm your man! I was hoping to move up from my 2020 Street Twin, but I AM glad you said you sold it to a friend! Now, if you don't purchase another Triumph, I may have to stop watching your videos. 😂

Comfy bumfy gets you a new subscriber 😂 Love my Harley softail but I can’t say I wouldn’t want a Bonny in my life! I grew up 10 miles from the old Triumph factory in Meridan and when it shut l collected some old roof panels from the factory for my boss’s cow shed! 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

I moved from a Street Twin to a T120, and absolutely love everything about it. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🦶

Great review, good perspective. I’m on an Africa Twin and a Goldwing right now, and I’m headed in the downsizing direction. I had a great test ride on a Triumph Speedmaster, however I think the T120 will be a better choice overall. After being on such a heavy bike like my Wing and a tall bike (my AT) I’m looking for lighter and smaller all the way around. With the 2024 model Africa Twin, the Adv Sports model being more street oriented now, that may be a good choice for you.

awesome- well produced video. Thx!

Thank you for watching!

Overall the bike is pretty nice I would say...and being comfortable while you ride is king. Plus great looking too. I was looking to get a Triumph but at the moment the price was a tad high. So ended up getting another brand that surprised me some... I've had huge bikes in the past, and found that a lighter and smaller bike is more( at least for me) moving from California to Europe, Spain was a trip skip and a hop for me, total culture shock😲 but it's heaven for motorcycle riders, the secenery is fantabulous really... As for your new pick, even after you talked about the things you liked, and didn't like, it still will be difficult to try and guess on which bike you are getting. There are so many bikes out there that would be great for you, but I can't think which one🤔 Would love to know the lucky bike that gets such a nice rider😊 Safe riding ✌️ And a big hello from Spain, Europe

I just bought a new speed twin love it. 😀

This bike has always appealed to me. Ever since I was a small child I thought it was the coolest look.

Where'd you go? What happened?

After listening to your video, more ride height, a bit more power, off road capability and still a retro look, the 1200 scrambler is ideal. However, if you don't mind losing the retro looks, another bike that has more power, better off road capability and would be perfect for your long road trips.... a tiger 900 rally would be my pick for you 😊👍

I haven't read any of the comments but I know you got a scrambler 1200. good for you! enjoy🌞

As a T120 owner, I'm surprised by what you said about power. I've had significantly more powerful bikes (taller and offroad capable, too, like the Ducati Multistrada 1200S), and I think the T120's power and torque are just about ideal for the street. More powerful bikes tend to simply force you to ride at

@OneDownGeneUp

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and for the thoughtful comment! I never felt the bonneville had a lack of power, but I wanted more of a pull when I got on the throttle. A little more torque-feeling. I used to own a Street Triple and loved how jumpy that little thing was. I agree with your sentiment about how more powerful bikes only allow you to ride at 50%. That’s why I had the Street Triple over the Speed Triple

Trying to work that out myself, after a long time off got back in to riding a couple of years ago with a Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro and whilst I really like the bike, it doesn’t give me that classic feeling that I used to like, so considering a T120 also, as you say though it seems it will need to be an AND scenario rather than an OR..

Where’s the next video?! What bike?

New subscriber...great video! I have a T120 Ace Cafe Edition and love it too.

Love this review, it answered all the questions I had about the t120. I have Kawasaki z900rs and the peg position is killing my knees, and it’s the most jerkiest bike I’ve ever ridden

i have nearly 20k km on my t120 bonnie, and i gotta agree with you on the height. it sits a bit too low for my liking but everything else is just perfect especially swapping for those fox rear shocks.

Great you had fun on your Bonneville for many years. Sounds like it's going to a good home.

Please tell me where you found that headlight cover that fits the Bonnie T120.

I am only 5" 7" and was always worried the seat height might be too high. Do you think it would be comfortable for me?

Good video. The bonneville such nice bike. You might be getting a Triumph Tiger of some sort or the 1200 scrambler triumph would be my guess.

As a taller fella myself im eying up the T120 as its the bigger bonnie choice. I am however curious to see what you went for as im also looat the scrambler 1200XE. WHERES THAT UPDATE

Thank you 😊

So what new bike did you get?

I think it’s a beautiful Bike. I’m considering buying one myself.

In the end, what replaced the Bonn?

I see you had Vance and Hines pipes. Did they improve the responsiveness etc?

have you experienced a flat in these 15k miles, if yes, how did you handle it?

Hi there, Hope you’re doing well. We haven’t seen you for 9 months. What happened to the new bike reveal?

Maybe the Speed Twin 1200 scrambler or go the full ADV Tiger?

Scrambler or a speed twin perhaps?

Obviously, you took care of that bike...it looks new for 15k miles. Good luck with your new Triumph Tiger : )

After listening to your dislikes, I think you should have purchased a different Triumph. Maybe the Scrambler or Street Twin. Maybe check those two out.

For all the reasons you stated and that I won't be tempted into stupidity as in the days of my 85 GPz 900! I'm really lucky to be alive thinking of all the stupid moves I did back in the day. But, I'm glad you enjoyed your T120 and hope you find your utopia bike in the future. Cheers.

Are you sticking with Triumph? Going with the Scrambler?

Nice. So you're getting a Vespa?
