    Great review. Had my "Goldline" edition 2 years. I love it. Easy to ride, easy to handle, easy to live with. It's also easy to spice things up a bit with aftermarket exhausts. Has more than enough torque and grunt to put a big smile on your face.

    I love mine. Next time you remove the seat, look around the underside edge of the seat itself, you should find loops that are tucked away that when extended will provide enable you to hook that cargo net.

    Thank God someone has at last mentioned the rubbish front mudguard. Extenders can cause oscillation and crack it due to the poor mounting system. But I love my T120.......

    Excellent review. Lana brings up a very interesting point about the power of the bike being in the mid-range and what that means in terms of rider input. Tool kit... I'm pretty sure Dave can perform a complete rebuild with it. The rest of us? LOL

    I just got a 2012 Bonnie. I have had many bikes, long story, but in short I just appreciate this one is "easy". Only unnerving thing is the footpads that seem to be in the way of my legs. For the rest, it's not exciting, it does its job. I got a rear luggage rack and I am happy. I also put a small windshield on, as I am used to bikes with protection. this made me happy too. ah yes, and a central stand - useful when working on the bike. I think I will keep it for a long time.

    Cool bike but the front fender def needs to be wider. Waayyy too much splatter on the front of the bike. I'm looking at bikes for longer trips, and the T120 Bonneville is on my radar bc I like the styling/ergos AND it has cruise control. For intown errands I'm now riding a 2022 Burgman 200 scooter. I can stuff alot of groceries under the seat. Nice video.

    The twin disks come on the T120. I have a couple Triumphs - two with twin disks up front but I don’t really mind the single disk on my T100. It works well and I really love that one side of the rim has no disk in terms of aesthetic. Love the Kawasaki W650, BTW!!

    Pity that Triumph couldn't have spent a bit more and laced the spokes to run tubeless tyres, as on the 1200 Scrambler. Tubes are a deal breaker for me. Triumph's optional centre stand is also £260 - need I say more?

    I like the T100, but watching your review, I realised that there were several things that I would miss compared with my Interceptor. The lack of grab bars is an issue as I like to bungee things on to the back seat occasionally. The inadequate front mudguard is another problem. Also, I would want to modify the indicators and stop lights and probably the rear shocks, which to me is disappointing as I would have already paid a lot for the bike. I would also have to add a centre stand.

  • @Paul-kp1tu
    @Paul-kp1tu6 күн бұрын

    It does seem nice but like Harley and Honda Triumph try to screw a few bucks out of you for basics like a rear rack, centre stand, mudguard etc. don’t they realise that this makes the customer cranky and doubt much of the bike and the company. Have a look at bikes of a few years ago or even current Royal Enfields, it is possible to provide these basics, it pays off. So here in Aus this bike is about $23000 when it gets a rack, a centre stand etc. it’s far too expensive.
