    Currently riding a Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Touring, but attracted to the lower height and classic looks of the T120. Am grateful for the wealth of experience and knowledge here about all things Triumph.

    When would we expect to see the 2021 model year bikes rolled out?

    Hi Jeff, welcome to the forum. I bought a new T120 last year to replace my Tiger 1050 which I was finding far too top heavy, especially when loaded up and touring. I nearly dropped it last year and my first thought was to get a Bonneville because of the lower height, and of course I'd been drooling over one for years, it was all the excuse I needed!

    I do miss the Tiger, I had it seven years and it was perfect for our needs, no regrets though. All I've done is running in mileage on the Bonnie but even that was amazing fun, and any time I doubt my decision I just go out to my shed and the doubts disappear.

    Welcome to a great forum,
    Who can tell given the present circumstances; but the T120 is a great bike let down by a few quality niggles on my 2016, although late models may be improved?

    Update! I picked one up today. Storm Grey/Baja Orange paint.

    Initial impression is that it's very easy to ride - surprisingly nimble, plenty of power even while keeping the revs below 4K for run-in, and smooth. Looking forward to gaining more experience with it.
