    Superb machines. I have the standard with the 19" front tire, i like that look better - the fats on both ends are too much, too bulbous. As is the larger tank they later went to. But as you said, to each their own. Lotsa guys like bulbous. I also like the pipes that come with the bike. Not only do they look perfect for the machine, they are not overly aggressive sounding - just right. The bike almost sounds like a European sportscar. The sound is there for sure but no one's gonna think you're just another obnoxious dude stranded in adolescence.

    🤣🤣you get used to it, but I know what you mean. When I ride my Scrambler 1200 XE, after having just been on the speed triple, it feels like a 50cc postie bike 🤣🤣 I absolutely love both bikes by the way. The RS is a proper workout though when ridden as intended.

    Remove that horrible rear fender assembly, get rid of the stock exhaust with automobile sized cat, change out to a lithium battery and remove several pounds of hoses, canisters and solenoids from under the seat/gas tank. Then get the ECU flashed to get rid of that terrible power curve. This will completely transform this bike to the next level. A bonus is, the bike will actually be easier and more fun to ride because those lean spots in the power curve will be gone

    What is the Triumph Bobber. It’s a can do bike. Mine can carve around the tight bends of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Dales. It can bob along for six hour rides. With its screen on it can, so I’ve heard, happily sit on the Motorway at speeds above the legal limit.

    Do you realise that the police can still work out that you were speeding just by analysing your video and using the white lines on the road and how quickly you are passing them. So unwise to break the rules. 😮

    I disagree re comfort and cruising. I often go for more than 3 hour rides without issue. Yes, it urges you to blast along but is equally as enjoyable bumbling along. The torque is amazing and must be one of the best bikes I've owned.

    As a 26 year old with a 19 Bobber black, this bike makes me want to break laws and go fast. It loves to be ridden at 8/10's. I can never get enough of mine. Over 1300 miles in under 2 months of ownership. And it's been ridden nearly every day since I got it.
