Well Today I took this bike out on a test ride thanks to hemel hamstead triumph. the weather was aweful, cold and very wet. the roads were dirty and grimey and this bike just ate it up! unbelievable! it was just planted to the road no matter what! the torque makes all the difference, it makes it feel it has some poke. you can flick it like fudge even while going slowly! This bike is a real winner, almost perfect. When I got I finished I turned to my friend and said " that is a motorbike!" and that is high praise. it encompases everything you think motorcycle riding is.

+benyagmac sorry, I actually said " it's a motorbike" in total astonishmnet that we might have found one of the best we have ever ridden.

IMO Triumph is smart to make motorcycles for the real world of public roads. Too many motorcycles that are grossly over-powered needing complicated electronics to keep the little tire patch in contact with the road. A lovely big parallel twin with strong mid-range and a seating position leaning slightly into the wind with a chassis that leans beautifully in the corners. It is about looks and feel, not scaring the crap out of you when you try and go through a few gears, although they will go very fast if you want to.

+gwwayner - Couldn't agree more! A lot of the target market (55 years old+) are pretty much beyond having masses of HP & are more turned on by a bikes rideability. I'd say Triumph have pretty much aced it with this bike & like H-D have figured out there's a lot of coin to be made in the accessorising basic models. Also like H-D an owner is literally buying an image but UNLIKE H-D they're getting a proper bike instead of a tarted up dinosaur.

He came very close to dragging a foot peg in some of those corners. I've read the shocks are not the best so you may want to consider fitting a pair of Ohlins. The front forks have been called a bit mushy, so maybe some thicker fork oil? The front brakes are not stellar but the single disk is lighter than the Speed Twin's dual disks and thus it turns in better. Maybe aftermarket brake pads would help? Still, it's a beautiful bike and would be my choice if my wife would allow it. (I had a BSA Lightning which I laid down in a corner. She has been biased against bikes since then).

My only issue - cut the cheesy music so we can hear the sound of the bike, please!

Thanks for the great review. I was so excited to hear about these bikes when they were first announced. They seemed to have everything on my wishlist that I would have wanted for the old Bonnies. I am chomping at the bit to test ride one soon. C'mon Spring!

What a great review! Thanks, this bike has just shot to the top of my wish list, ousting the r1200r and even the street trip. Test ride time soon, can't wait.

I'm not a bike guy. Just starting to like them. AND I'M FCKING IN LOVE MAN.

makes total sense to me to increase the torque and fuel economy, peak BHP is irrelevant on a Bonnie....they are designed to be ridden below 6000rpm, anything over that and they feel nasty. Short shifting, riding the torque wave and cruising is what these bikes are about.

Such a lovely review and the music playing at the back is so beautiful .

My first love is a Triumph Bonneville classic. I am in love all over again.

Beautiful review and gorgeous footage too! Finally a modern-day Triumph with vintage styling! Can't wait for this baby to land up in Dubai. Counting days :)

Nicely done. All things considered, I don't think the Street Twin is worth trading-in my 2013 Bonneville for, though. Still, hats off to Triumph for listening to their customer base and reading the market so well.

how would you compare it to the yamaha xsr700 ? ease of ride ? comfort ? fun ? and of course thank you for another excellent review ^__^

+HalfCrazy520 Extra fuel mileage, if as claimed, had to come from somewhere. May miss the power if you carry a passenger. But looking at it in the video, it looks great. Especially in that shade red. But since they're offering a 1200, I can see why they might offer one that's had a reduction in power. Might be the hipster demographic influence, or more appeal to women.

As an occasional commuter bike and sunny days toy for a new rider, would you recommend the Street Twin or Street Triple?

Love the Triumph Bonneville!!

My God, that is a beautiful bike!! Me want it a lot! 😋

Although it is much more into the new technology than the previous model it looks more retro and closer to the classic models just because some typical details that are respected as original. Nice looking bike, indeed.

Can you turn the ABS off?

Nice, thanks, looking about and need the data.

Been Kinda looking at Triumph for a few years as a next bike wish list(currently own a Suzuki 1998 GSX-R 6). I was looking at the Scramblers, both Triumph and Ducati, Then I saw this.....oh man.

Nice bike, nice review.

great review! :)

BTW, how tall are you? Did you feel cramped?

Thank you for this great piece of editing ......... turning the musac down so the delivery of verbal information can be heard ......... Euro 4 rubbish ? So you don't want air you can breath ?

9:32 What song? thanks.

what about two up??

Whats the name of the helmet?

The Street Twin has gotten some rave reviews, but I'm not sold on the new engines yet. I'm going Triumph, but everything in me screams to go with a T100 while they're still making them. Next year will likely see the end of them as a '900' is in the works; as far as I can tell it's basically a T120 with a Street Twin engine- not looking forward to that :(

I enjoyed the review. It looks like a fun bike. Am I right in thinking this bike has a five speed gearbox? You should protect your knees. It may look cool but you will live to regret it if come off (I speak from experience).

Good job getting the bridge in the shot, why not focus on getting the actual full bike in the shot?

Hello can I use your some clip

How tall are you? It looks like a bit of a cramped ride no? Also how dose this compare to the star bolt?

It's nothing like a Star Bolt. The Bolt is a cruiser, much heavier and worse handling, even the C-spec one. I've ridden the Bolt and the new Bonnies look much better made an equipped. The bolt is a fun bike but areas like the clocks, mirrors and brakes are a bit budget feeling.

Less HP is fine with more torque. The old Bonnie produced more peak HP but the engine didn't like being revved, so you never used it... Under normal riding, if what they say is true, the new bike will have more power, more of the time.
