New Triumph Bobber 2017

listermint

I have to say massive fan of what Triumph have put out with the new bobber.
The styling is just really on point and there is some really nice touches all over it


Take my money

Pity its not parked in a cycle lane :P

Beautiful looking bike, although there are some changes I'd make ~ like putting on a larger headlight but aside from that she's a beaut

Lumen

The riding position seems a bit weird. Is this comfortable?

prunudo

Looks a bit odd there alright

jimgoose

Maybe yer maun is unusually tall? If not, it needs higher bars and the seat set back a bit. Lovely bike, though.

CJhaughey

They have done a good job on the rear suspension, looks like a hardtail.

listermint

The Seat itself is very adjustable i think about 2 Inches right up to the tank and back also.

Those images would be from test riding earlier in the year. Id imagine it looks alot different now, a few videos on youtube with first time spins on them.

I'll be very tempted by this next year. Any idea of Irish price yet?

listermint

No idea of UK Price yet even

Jimmy Bottlehead

Could have swore I saw one of the articles quite £10,500?

This is what happens when you wear the wrong "style" gear on a bike.....top pic looks better..IMO....

The top one only looks better because he isn't reaching to the bars, I bet he'd look the same if he had to hold the grips.

Pity you'd have to import it if you want one. Unless you want to deal with Dublin Triumph !! :rolleyes:

I dunno, I personally don't give a monkeys what gear looks like as long as I am warm and protected.
Maybe for younger guys where motorcycles are and expression of who or what they are it might be important but not for me.

Fogged up, its blurred so you can't see his face!

Its fairly obvious someone looks the ****e wearing jeans and a leather jacket on a bike. The first pic looks quality because its meant to, its meant to portray a lifestyle. Yes normal folks day to day will never look like that in all their getup.

Its meant to be aspirational.


Not sure why its a topic point , but yes the lad in the testing gear looks like he is wearing ****e gear like a go kart rental jump suit and looks hunched over.

...dunno: Alpinestars boots suggest it may not be LIDL

..no, he's just ridden from Galway in the rain, and he's cold, tired & miserable and trying to figure out why he sold his RT1200 with heated seats.... :pac: :pac: :pac:

Is the dealership *THAT* bad???

CJhaughey

McCallens in NI are a Trumpet dealer, wouldn't be hard to deal with them would it?

Interested to hear more on this. Was planning a trip there next weekend to sit on and potentially get a Tiger 800.

My thoughts too.

IMO a lovely looking bike, but the hipsters will love it more.

Jimmy Bottlehead

Definitely, but if she's a great bike to ride, I'd still consider it despite the hipster element. Not gonna stop doing and buying what I like just because it's been taken over by the damned hipsters

Yes, yes it is and don't just take my biased opinion of them. There's plenty here to give theirise opinion on them.

They lost the Ducati dealership and have failed to tell their customers, I wouldnt buy a bolt off them if I was broken down outside with my bike.

There are no hipsters on bikes here...just guys with beards.....real hipsters build their bikes..;)
