    Pre unit or mid sixties? Late sixties or early seventies. Oil in frame? Five speed or 750. Later with discs of course. All good

    A gent who does car body repairs for me has one of these, a 360 degree non scrambler one with carbs. It's a very nice looking bike. I prefer the slightly later ones with fuel injection and a rev counter, like your bike has. I have a 2003 Suzuki SV thou and I notice that your top gear is at least as tall as mine, maybe even a little taller, which is nice and relaxed. All the best from South Wales.

    @@Aircooled865 Thanks mate, I'd love to try a Sports bike tbh, say a kawasaki Z-10 but not sure how practical & comfortable it would be even purely for recreational riding 😀 Practically tho probably better on a KTM Super Duke or 890 SMT - Money permitting. The MT-09s are gr8 too. The choices of bikes upon gaining full licence are really exciting from a Beginners perspective.

    Gotta admit, no interest in a boggy bike that really struggles in the cold. But, excellent video!

    I wouldnt say it struggles...always fires up but does need a few minutes to get to operating temp...just a bit of a pain in the ass when you are in a hurry.?but once you ride it around you dont need to do the cold start....thanks for the comments👊

    Yeah OK the algorithm suggested your video to me because I'm into old bikes, and you've used the words "older Bonnie" in your title. And so I think it's fair to point out in the comments, that that is not an old bike. It's a 2015 bike, which you've put a black and silver number plate on. Also, that the people who compliment you on your bike don't know anything about bikes - they just see the word Triumph. Which is quite astonishing, really. What if you rode an actual old Triumph through town. The same people would say the exact same things to you, probably. So yeah, no.

    As per title...older...not old and air cooled v liquid cooled....it's 9 years old so for some people that is old ....I suggest you look elsewhere and stop whining.

    @@Aircooled865 You're the one who's whining and making a false pretense by riding around the neighbourhood with a black and silver plate. You've overreached with your title and you will get viewers like me who know more than your local clowns. When I point this out, this is a consequence of the fact you can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all of the time. This is the internet, not your local village square. You will get called out because you're BSing.
