Triumph Bobber Motorcycle Ride Review



Triumph Bobber Motorcycle Ride Review.

First feelings prove positive. Even with the fully-adjustable seat back in it’s farthest notch, the riding position isn’t as ‘foot forward’ as you may expect from a machine leaning so heavily into a cruiser-ish vibe. There’s none of that foot-fumble that so often arrives when first straddling a cruiser and the bars feel natural and well-placed. A quick moment to get familiar with the controls (yep, everything is where it should be) and then it’s a slight reach down, underneath the fake carbs that actually house the fuel injectors, a turn of the key and we’re ready to go.

The engine note – channeling the exhaust down through the twin, slashed tips of the steel pipes – is throaty enough to be pleasant without being anywhere near obnoxiously too loud to annoy the neighbours. But what really hits home is how comfortable and inviting the Bobber engine feels at tickover. Often a bike in the bobber mould can feel intimidating on first sight; not necessarily in a bad way, but sometimes there’s an ‘exciting kind of scary’ that arrives with the first burble of a machine. This nervous anxiousness isn’t present here. There’s no momentary pause as I compose myself for the first twist of the throttle, the Bonneville Bobber already feels like home.
