New Bobber

See the other thread

 

The standard T120 IMO is a thing of beauty, this bobber (WTF does bobber mean anyway?) thing does nothing for me but hey-ho Triumph are in the business of making money and at least it's got a decent engine. Harley have been getting away with this kind of thing for long enough so why not get in on the act?

 

Bobber refers to the fact that a true "Bobber" has no rear suspension at all - just the springs in the solo seat - which I assume makes the rider bob up and down.
Warning: This may be total b*ll*cks!

 

It's good b*ll*cks though

 

Ade all Harley softails have their rear suspension hidden so they look like the hardtails of old,maybe your'e getting mixed up with the Dyna and Sportster ranges?

 

I recently bought a new T120, but I must admit this bobber does look good. Why only one front disc?

 

What do I think of the 'bobber'?

Bag o' shite.

That is all.

 

ok Ade i misread your post i thought you meant the triumph has hidden the rear unlike Harley..i see what you mean now

 

Looks like they are sat on the crapper!

 

Not in this lifetime ... no sireee!!

 

I can see some converted Hxxxxxx riders buying and joining this Forum. Oh, surely they will have to pass some kind of interview ??????

Well, this says it all......

 

Hideous, couldn`t they rebadge it to a B&W?

 

Here!! Well, not sure about the gentleman but tho.

 

Not my cup of char but the dealer my laddie works at has orders for 12 already.....

 

Trying to sell it to the trendy lifestyle wankers. Luckily enough I don't live anywhere near Shoreditch or any of these tossy urban metrosexual bunch of fuckwits, where style matters above substance.

Still think it's a great looking bike, and watching MCN first ride, that new motor looks to have plenty of grunt. Looking forward to seeing one in the flesh at the bike show or dealer and I might be tempted by one , once someone else takes the hit of depreciation.

 

Mr O! - you're the most "hipster" looking one out of all of us!
