Another great Triumph . I looked at it for a while , the blue / black fade in / out and wondered why it seemed familiar . Then it dawned on me , school ink ! Way back when the Earth was young and dinosaurs roamed the land , we had " ink " pens in school . You had an ink pot in the corner of your desk and you dipped your pen into it . The school ink was mixed from a powder by one of the boys , which was a good excuse to get filthy and spread it everywhere . But the ink colour would fade from black to blue just like the Triumph tank . Especially so if it wasn't mixed properly and some naughty boy had mixed blue and black powder . I can't think who that might have been .😊

Because it shares the same frame with the T120 it is roomier than the Speed 900. You can also fit the same accessories. I added dresser bars, cruise control, centre stand and bar end mirrors (much better vision), and power plug which allows me to run heated clothing off a separate fuse. Black paint on the engine, radiator and wheels is very practical. Stock exhausts sound great. I think Triumph need to update the cruise control as 30 is the current minumum and the 20 speed limits are spreading like a virus through the countryside. The torque and the wider 5 speed gears than the T120 mean you can hold 30mph in 4th gear. My 14th motorcycle and one of the finest.

Hi Taymi, After a 40 year break from biking i have for the past 2 years i have been riding a versys 650 but now it is time for a change and i fancy a modern classic style bike so i arranged a test ride on a Speed Twin 900 and what can i say, i was blown away with the looks, comfort, low down grunt, comfort and how agile it felt. It has ample power for my style/type of riding and i was smiling all the time i was out on it, in fact when i returned the bike i went back a few days later and bought one which i will pick up in a couple of weeks{red/chrome} colourway, just watched your stealth bonneville video and you mentioned the lack of and cost of a centre stand, i specced my new bike with a centre stand and it was a £260 option but i reckon it will be well worth it in the years to come, I am looking forward to many happy times and miles of riding my new bike, keep up with the great content.

@user-rf9me7xm1w

I didn’t really want to elaborate but as you asked. The main problems were caused by the wiring loom being too tight where it passed over the headstock. The excessive strain caused the internal wires to keep breaking and this resulted in many intermittent electrical problems and many days spent off the road. Also, the magnet which was part of the “side stand down” safety system, fell off and left me stranded at the roadside. A few other bits also fell, namely, the reflector on the front fork and the e-clip which secures the side stand pivot bolt. The gear selector shaft also started to display the well documented symptoms of difficulty in changing down through the gears. This was the final straw so I traded it in for a much cheaper Japanese bike and I now ride a bike where I know everything electrical will work and nothing will drop off.

Glad I found this video again! I am riding the RE Super Meteor and love the build quality, performance, looks are stunning etc. But sadly I don't seem to fit it properly to do miles. I need maybe at my age some weight on the bars but not too much and although I am ok with forward controls the SM... I just don't get comfortable. Even with the seat being great! But the rider triangle is not right for me. 😔 But sitting on the T100 today and particularly in this colour, I love so much seems just perfect for me! Everything seems perfect as can be. I think I found my dream bike! Time to test ride. But I think I already know because when you know, you know. Right?

I think for me; the T100 is the blueprint for what I like about bikes and you will see it in both my recent and distant history. I've had an air cooled original T100, a Bonneville SE, Moto Guzzi V7 and now the BSA (with other bikes in between) But I always come back to this kind of bike. I do like the Stealth colours and have done a popular Short Vid on them, my fave is the green on the Speed Twin 900. Pity Triumph are asking extra for them.

I'm with you TAYM, I wasn't keen when I first saw the stealth editions but it has definitely grown on me although I'm still not a fan of black wheels. I genuinely think the Bonneville is the best all round bike money can buy and there really is nothing else that does so much so well. I would have to say that, for my money, the T120 is the winner because torque is addictive and I love that grunt you get with the 1200.

I do love the colours on these stealth models, they're so much more appealing without being too " in your face". I still think my Thunderbird Sport was the best Bonneville ever made apart from soft brakes. I see they're promoting the new Rocket 3's and have stolen Black Beauty's blacked out look, I believe they've also hopped the power a bit ( not that it needed it). They've also fitted new style wheels which I'm not so keen on, nor the new styled tank paint job and detail.

Great video TAYM and great bike but then I would say that wouldn't I? You mentioned the T120 is a bit fussy which indeed it is - I have test driven three 1200s - T120, Speed Twin and the Bobber can agree on that 100%. Brief funny story - a 1200 rider looked at my "little" 900 and said his bike gave him the extra oomph when he needed it - absolute nonsense. AND the final drive in top gear on both bikes is exactly the same.....same revs at 70 on both bike so on the 1200 you are wasting more time going up and down the box! Rant over!

Did you watch Missenden Flyer’s latest? It’s the character factor. I feel like I’m on a Japanese bike.
