OC. My mother who passed away last year at the age of 55 after a long battle with an autoimmune disease, was named after the triumph bonneville, her name was Bonnie. She was named that by her father, my grandfather, because of his love for bikes, and the bonneville t120r that he had at the time. I’ve recently just got my full motorcycle license, and I’m going to eventually own a T120, and every time I ride that bike, I’m going to feel a deep connection to my mum, who I miss so dearly. It’s funny how a machine can make you feel such emotion, after all, it’s only a machine? But to me, it’s a memory, it’s a tool to plunge me into deep thought about my mum and all of my memories of her. That’s why, for me, this is the greatest motorcycle ever built.

I just came from seeing one today with my wife, and she was immediately smitten by it. We are looking for a bike for light touring, and the GS was just too tall for her,, but this one was perfect and the seating was more than sufficient for two people. The retro look was just the icing on the cake. I think we are more likely than not to purchase it by the end of the year.

I found it interesting that he said he really liked it, but he didn't know why. It's that X-factor that some European brands do really well. The T120 is the Jaguar XKE of motorcycles. It isn't the fastest or a ready made track weapon, but it has beauty, class, and it isn't terrible at anything. It makes you feel good driving and owning one.

I bought my T120 brand new in 2017 and having been riding it for 7 years now. This is what I would call a perfect motorcycle! I have owned many different brands over the years and there is something very SPECIAL about this bike! I will never sell it…ever! Highly recommended

OC - I recently bought a 24 Bonnie T120 black, silver tank and a brown seat. I've put on about 1,500 miles on it and this dude nailed the description! I was incredibly surprised by the power, aesthetics and handling of this bike. If you haven't gone to a dealer to look at one, I urge you to check it out, the design is just striking. This is my 5th bike and I'm set for life with this pig.

I own a 2017 T120 Black, and I've spent a fair amount of time thinking about why I love it as much as I do. Here are some of the words I've come up with to describe it: Elegant, solid, steady, smooth, and powerful. As Chase said - it does a bunch of things well. More to the point though, it's the number of things that it does well that make this bike way, way better than the sum of its parts. In the end, and this obviously just my opinion, riding the T120 is a bit of an addiction.

I own a 23 Speed Twin 1200. The low end torque of those engines surprised me when I did the initial test drive. Plus they can tuned easily as they are Euro5 clogged up from the factory.

I'd never considered a retro bike until I was given a Street Twin as a loan bike when my Street Triple RS was being serviced and fell in love with it. I ride my T120 more than my Street Triple now.

i own this bike for over the 2 years now and I'm closer now to 35k km. i highly recommend it for someone who prioritises and appreciates versatility, comfort and a torquey machine. i only wish it had higher ground clearance. but it's staying in my lineup forever, it's just too convenient too have one.

OC - No. 1 Retro/Modern Classic - hands down. When I saw this bike, I was - meh. After riding Hondas for decades, I was thinking Ducati, then a Rocket, then Tiger, then Scrambler, then Bobber - this is the best. Other than a Dakar, there is not much you cannot do on this bike. Plus, you can personalise it in so many ways. Trent & Nick in Roswell hooked me up with a demo on a Tiger and T120. The Tiger was really good, but the T120 was an absolute dream - I literally hugged it like a teddy bear afterwards and did not want to give it back. It is incredibly smooth, confident, and comfortable. It just exudes quality and craftsmanship. I will get one … soon. The first thing I might upgrade would be progressive springs … and then enjoy for a long while before I go crazy and turn it into a cafe racing monster.

OC I love Triumph's lineup, but I bought a '22 Z900rs. I will never get rid of that bike, and it is absolutely amazing. Has all the charm of a classic, but the handling and power of a modern sport bike.

OC loving the look of the modern retro bikes. Looking forward to test riding one in the future.

Great ride / video... perfect bike for the DGR!

26:35 I have a T120 and i can confirm that doing any chain adjustments or maintenance sucks with the muffler placement. I replaced the mufflers with British Custom's slash cut tips solely for being able to maintain the chain easier (and they sounds great, too)

OC, great to see you surprised & enjoying it

Triumph retros are best looking bikes around.

Been waiting for this one since it was mentioned a few episodes ago (OC).

OC... I had a 2016 t120 I liked it but it sat too low so I kept my KLR. Problem with the KLR it has no power. So when a Scrambler 1200 came up I was able to sell both and get the scrambler. I like the ride height. I love being able to see over and around cars easier. The power in traffic is good. I'm able to do light offloading without bottoming out to go camping/hunting. Saves me some money on insurance so it was a win win.

Really enjoyed the opening music this time round!
