Cool and better than you might think

You’ve read the Review, now see the video! Heart-stopping wheelies, lurid smoldering burnouts and an awesome display of moto-skill. Okay, well, none of that, sadly, but there is some nice action footage of Triumph’s latest, greatest all-new Bonneville variant through the rolling countryside outside Madrid, Espana. And, about two minutes of me channeling Walter Cronkite as I lay out the new bike’s salient points in living color.

In basic terms, the Bobber riffs on the Bonneville line with a bespoke hardtail-looking frame, solo seat and Triumph’s excellent High Torque 1200cc Twin – now with even more midrange lunge courtesy of new intake and exhaust plumbing and revised tuning. As it turns out, the most retro of the new Bonnies goes better than its looks might lead you to believe. See for yourself!
