Absolutely stunning !! Front wheel looks BIG to lift the front end rear's been dropped, seat looks to be on springs perhaps, Jez is correct that style looks familiar and will definitely catch on. lol built by Triumph designed by Many
Just got back from the launch, they look nice and sound fairly good on std pipes, but not really my sort of thing. They had Carl Fogarty and Freddie Spencer, among others, doing drag race demo's on them
Yup, didn't even have to drive as Bulldog's laid on a minibus to take us there. Got some pics, which I'll put up later, but no reg no's as they didn't have plates on
Real old school looks suits it, hence its name single disc on front wheel albeit a bloody big one !! LOOKS WELL
and i was thinking it must have had an old school spring under the seat for the rear suspension..nice.not sure on the exhaust it might look better upswept at the same angle as the seat
That looks a right horny bitch that would give you the ride of a lifetime. Real badass ..... I want one
Wow! What a proper lump O' tackle!! Looks like it'll put any Harley to shame! Nice that it's British name !!
I LOVE THIS!! although I wouldn't want it as my only bike, would be great to have it in the garage tho
what the press say The Bobber is the second recent addition to the Bonneville range following the new T100, which was revealed a couple of weeks ago at Intermot. The Bobber uses Bonneville T120’s liquid-cooled, eight-valve, SOHC high-torque 1200cc engine. Triumph hasn’t revealed any power figures yet but has told us the engine features a new dual-chamber airbox. The engine has been given a ‘bobber tune’ for this bike, meaning it’s got more low down torque than the T120. Triumph hasn’t released any power figures yet but we expect outright horsepower to remain unchanged at 79hp The Bobber also features a new slash-cut exhaust system, which Triumph says is shorter and lighter than the T120’s. The bike was ridden into the presentation by Carl Fogarty and much like the rest of the Bonnevilles, it sounded good. A few nice touches include the carb-styled twin throttle bodies and the battery box. The ignition barrel also sits on the right side of the bike. The engine is housed in a brand-new frame, which is also joined by new suspension courtesy of new forks which features bespoke damping for this bike. Being a bobber, this is a hard tail bike although the adjustable floating seat sits on top of a cantiliever spring. The seat can be adjusted forwards and backwards, and up and down to adjust the ride position. In its lowest position its 690mm high. The single clock can also be tilted forwards and backwards. Like the rest of the bikes in the Bonneville range, although the Bobber might look retro, it features a host of modern touches including ABS, a ride-by-wire throttle and switchable traction control, a torque assist clutch and two riding modes – road and wet. The rear light, indicator and number plate light are all LED. It’s rolling on Avon Cobra tyres, developed specifically for this bike. Looks-wise, it’s classic bobber, as you’d rightly exlect from Triumph, which says this bike has ‘peerless authenticity’. To that end, it’s got the typical single bobber seat, stripped back looks, a hard rear end and wide, flat bars. Triumph says it’s for people that want a modern classic with a bit more attitude and it’s aiming to tempt people who might be looking at bikes like the Harley-Davidson Sportster Forty-Eight or Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber. It will be available in four colours – ‘Modello Red’, ‘Ironstone’, ‘Jet Black’ and ‘Competition Green and Frozen Silver’. Pricing will be revealed in December and it’ll be available early next year.

Thanks for that Wayne, this is not my first choice of bike style, but the thing that captures me is the absolute perfect appearance of first class engineering, the engine and exhaust finish is superb, Triumph are really becoming world leaders with their range of modern bikes and advanced technology. I won't be buying one, but am looking forward to seeing one for real.
pity he didn't take it round some twisty roads..maybe he wasn't allowed,it will be interesting to find out how comfy the seat is after a days ride
