    Can anyone reassure me that the gearbox issues with the water cooled models has been sorted? Picking up a new T120 in the next few days.

    Agree. I have a 2018 Street Twin and no issues whatsoever after 3 years and 9,000 miles.

    So I posted this and you rated it with a face palm, without a comment @Richard Goss ? Did you disagree with my comment?

    Sorry don't understand I did not actually reply to your comment but one that followed who said they had had no issues with their water-cooled Bonnie. I also was not responsible for the face palm sorry.

    No
    Apologies as I hadn’t realised I had face palmed your comment . Scrolling on phone has a tendency to add emojis without realising.

    Martin, send a message to Triumph after sales, their email is on the Triumph website, ask them if your bike is within the range likely to suffer a gearbox failure, include your frame number and engine number, I guarantee they will put you mind at rest, lovely bike the T120, I rode one before getting my Thruxton 1200, I found it hard to choose between the 2, post some pics when you get it.

    Will do just waiting for the cruise control and cockpit power outlet to be fitted.

    my preowned 18 T120 6 spd shifts OK BUT not as good as my traded 5 spd 2012 with lo miles + my new leftover 19 street scrambler with 127 on it shifts great as well, another 5 spd. prolly the 5 spds are leftover design.
