New Zealand's Queenstown to Wanaka on a Triumph Bonneville

Enjoy the beautiful scenery of New Zealand's South Island from the seat of a Triumph Bonneville T100 Black.
I stop in Arrowtown for a coffee, ride over the twisty Crown Range and stop in Cardrona for some pics next to the iconic & historic hotel.

    Having recently returned to Perth in Western Australia from a visit to the south island, it was a pleasure to watch this video Wes! Just subscribed as a thank you for your hard work putting this video together. I see you're a new channel, your subscriber count will most certainly grow fast! Good luck and all the best, Len.

    I gana have to get down South Island on bike one day.The roads look alot better too than up North.Bike sounds awesome & thinking 🤔 about a T100,Speedtwin 900 myself later in the year.

    I've only just moved down a year ago, but was a North Island rider prior. the NI has some great rides, but the South Island is where you can expect the jaw to hit the floor

    @@wesleyjames. Had a mate & HIS Girlfriend rode down on a HD Roadking & she was on a Honda Rebel 500 on Restricted License & rode to Bert Monroe.They spent 3weeks down there & want's to go back down with more people. Route 52 Waipukurau to Masterton is a great ride & so is the Napier Taihape Road that's marvelous & good for Moto camping.So is round Lake Taupo & back country over to Taranaki.T100 looks better & has the larger fuel tank & higher seat Speedtwin 900 looks a bit cramped. Little Ghost has some good videos & rides a Motoguzzi Griso all around the South Island gravel roads too.

    The January deal was too good to resist, I’ve had the 900 too, I think the 1200 is a bit more versatile and the newer ones also have noticeable improvement to the front brakes which was needed in my view. I’m really looking forward to putting some miles on it

    First time across your channel, I though it was very well done. Obviously well shot. A bit of conversation in the middle (maybe Cardona?) would have helped. The piano solo was horrid. Do enjoy some history of these areas. Have never been to NZ. Do like vicarious food too... Otherwise, new subscriber!!
