Triumph Bonneville Bobber // A Factory Bobber?

I would also love this kind of breakdown/review of the Indian scout bobber. great vid dan

Did 200 miles on my ‘98 Magna today I thank you everyday for convincing me to buy one

Please do more moto vlogs. The community is dead, there’s only a few left, and you are the OG man.. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Christopher walken impression is spot on

I have a 2022 Triumph bobber with forward floor boards/foot control, mini apes, a Fox frame shock and blacked out Hines & Kane pipes. I also had the stock seat post drilled out to put the stock seat back further....it is hands down a bad to the bone bike!! It can be customized with an even larger rear tire if one prefers. I love it because it combines a retro look with a bit of a hot rod look and a cruiser all rolled into one bike....i love mine!! If you don't like the higher ape hangers, just bring them back about 3 inches and you will feel like you have more control over your steering....

A few things to note about this particular bike: It's straight piped, looks like an x-pipe and British Customs shotgun slip-on. I believe that slip-on does actually have a bit of muffling, which is why it doesn't sound like absolute ass. The stock bars and seat are WAY better than the aftermarket parts on this one, which you touched on. There are good aftermarket (not to mention factory accessory) bars and seats, but the stock setup is actually pretty great. The stock bar-end mirrors are excellent, whoever put that mirror on there made a oopsie Those are aftermarket foot controls, the stock ones are mid controls and suit the look of the bike pretty nicely. You can get aftermarket foot pegs that look more classic or sporty or whatever you want, and Triumph has a factory forward control accessory. There are a number of other aftermarket parts on there, like an airbox delete and a tail tidy that make it more "custom bobber" feeling. I like these mods, but they're not for everyone. People underestimate these bikes because the Bonneville seems like such a tame and gentlemanly bike, but they rip when you lean on them, and they sound great when you open them up with a more free flowing exhaust setup. You noted that it has a lot of electronics, which I agree with. If I had my way, Triumph would make a "dumb" model with carbs and no rider aids or anything (maybe except ABS cuz laws or whatever) to make it feel like a more classic motorcycle experience, but unfortunately, that's just not what sells these days. The great thing about this platform is that there are so many things you can do to it to make it exactly what you want, like the previous owner obviously did. There's never going to be an aftermarket like there is for the Sportster, but there's definitely more out there than anyone who owns one of these is likely to have the money for.

Stoked you of all did this review. Huge fan of your magna so your perspective is appreciated and you. 🍻

Those end credit bloopers were killing me 🤣

DIWD motorcycle reviews lets fucking go.

I can't stop looking at the hair man 😂😂 eyes on the bike! Oh oh there's his big ass head again shiiiittttttt😂

Dude this thing has so much character/charisma it's CRAZY. I was not expecting that since others like the Indian Scout Bobber (which I like still), or Harley Lowrider/Street Bob have that "factory feel/blandness" that you talked about. I really like this thing AND THAT DECEL SOUND IS NASSTTTYYY OMFG 😍

Mr.Dan Just want to say thanks for getting my into motorcycles got my first bike last week and take my msf class in 3. 2016 Shadow 750 Ive already put 300 miles on it! I'm addicted

These are sick bikes out of the box.

Dan you kill these style of videos!!

It shifts like a bolt action rifle. I’m dead ! 😂

It's absolutely insane that you made this video after I literally JUST bought my triumph. I LOVE my bike.

Dan, you should totally make a video of just you doing bloopers, I love your videos regardless. The bloopers are absolutely hilarious though.

I could just see this with low bars, or even clipons, a cafe bobber.. However, as a factory bobber, there's a mission other brothers out there with exactly the same bike. SO for me I'd also do custom paint. But that engine and exhaust, what a beauty! Just grabbing another gear, or engine braking on a steep downhill, snapping and crackling, snarling and woofling, just glorious!

12:18 dan reps every direction 😂

The thorten one hundred bobber builds are insane
