Love the concept. It reminds me of the daytona 500 twin i had in the early 1970. ( minus the oil leaks)
None of the reviews talk about pillion rider comfort? Has anybody had any experience.
Cheers. Frank. G.
The bike shown for comparison at 0.52 is not a 1959 model T120 but rather a late 1960s model. Note; unit construction, twin leading shoe front brake and Amal Concentric carbs. Sorry to be a nerd!!
Please… get rid or turn down the volume of this song in the background… OK… it gives some drama to the speech but at this volume it does more harm than good. The review is highly useful and concise. Thanks!
Bloody good review, thankyou
Great review. It really is a nice machine to ride and looks great. Took one out today and signed on the line for a T120 Black.
Rode my T140 back from the bike shop and still love it and will keep it too.
like the bike but not the colours are too dark for me
Nice video and editing, good to-point-commentary but… That background music is just annoying…!
is this bike suitable for someone 6'0 tall? would tall ppl look weird on this?
Got mine yesterday! 300miles so far. Initial thoughts running in <4000RPM (90mph in 6th). No vibration…. None! Mirrors clear ALL the time on a twin! Brakes very dull until 150miles now much better and totally fine but not super powerful front, rear still dull. Suspension feels heavily damped (I'm 95kg)and can be jarring on pot holes. Now either in getting used to it or its running in also!
Comfort is fine and need to be because mine did 64mpg and 200 miles on the first tank. You can move around and even the olde trick of using the pillion pegs works well. Torque in road mode is deceptive. There's no frantic revs/lots of noise and it feels tame. Until you pass a car with a high gear roll on and it's like "did he brake"?
Instruments are hard/impossible to see with the sun behind you. Pegs don't drag the way I ride…. Well only once on the roundabout side (UK). with weak ear plugs you can hear the motor all the time. To me it sounds great. Moving away is best. It pulls away and it seems like you don't add any revs almost like a auto – brilliant. Gearbox is great too with a nice snick into each gear. I have not missed one gear yet! Anyway. Sun's out…. Gotta go!
Why put symphonic music over the engine sound. Not the first time, and, you know, what's the point. We get, what, 2 seconds of engine sound? C'mon.
Thanks ,,This is just about the best review I have watched..
How does it compare with the Indian scout 60 ? I torn between the two.
Hi all,
Any chance to get some feedback on the sound of the new v&h pipes for the t120? Thanks :)
Always one of the best reviewers around!
Excellent review, well done. Learned quite a bit. Perhaps I'll update from my beloved 2012 110th Anniversary Edition Bonnieville. Silver with red strips please… Thanks for the vid, be well brother. Cheers.
Love that comment at the end about the Ducati Scrambler being "A foray into the Land of Joy". No doubt!
"Aimed to preserve the look of the original 1959 T120" with a picture of a 1970 model…??
Nice enough review, here's my comments: 1/ monotone voice? Relax, it all feels hurried, and 'read out loud'. 2/ why that incessant and tedious background music? This bike has an engine, right? Can we hear it? Repeatedly? Please? 3/ re the bike, looks pretty good, nice for that kind of thing. But £9.6k!? I'll be surprised if they fly out the door given the competition. We shall see…
USB socket – You and me what pocket! very good.
I really like it, but if I'm gunna spend this amount, I'd go a little further and grab the Thruxton. And if I was gunna get a Thruxton, I might as well get the Thruxton R.
I love a whiff of old fart ??
Btw, great review as usual from Steve! :)
