I found the last 2020 T120 the nearest dealer to me had left. If was from a group of them they had picked up from Triumph here in Canada. Brand new with zero miles. I liked that in 2020 they came stock with the center stand, heated grips and steel wheels. I live in a cooler climate so the heated grips are something very nice to have. I kind of like the steel wheels too as the roads aren't the best around here. I got them to add the factory cruise control to the bike in the deal. It hasn't come in yet though so they will do the install at the break in service. I also ordered a Mastad windshield for it that I hope ships soon. I will post a couple of pics of it to the picture thread after I get it home and unloaded. The dealership is 450 km or about 280 miles from here.
DougM Great bike good buy. Welcome to the family. Yes do show the steed of to the inmates here as they do love pictures. Calm's them down while nursey is dishing out the meds. And loads of luck and fun filled miles on the steed. Joe
BTW my wife is even excited about the bike as I told her it was British. She is from Deal, Kent. Lovely area, I've been over a few times with her.
DougM I think you are just a smoothie. Just don't let her see were they are built these days. But yes still carry the great British name. Joe
Here are a couple pics of hauling it home today, over 900 kms or 550 odd miles round trip. I still had time to slip in a quick ride before it got dark.
Oh btw I have never felt a clutch this light or owned a bike with such a smooth shifting transmission and I have been riding since the mid 70's. So far I love it. I did find the tires like to follow cracks in the road. Forecast is rain tomorrow but sunny and hot after that. I need some time to get used to the feel of it. My highway touring bike is close to 900 lb.
Welcome! I think you should have called your account Gru as you have a Minion helping out in your secret lair (garage). Sorry, I’m an idiot. Every family, club and forum has at least one. We have loads.
Don't tell me - Pirelli? I'd get some new rubber on those wheels as soon as you have an excuse to do so (Road 5s would be my choice). Anyway, lovely bike in a lovely colour. Welcome to the forum.
DougM Cool Steed stunning pictures thanks for sharing. Do enjoy the bike and keep us posted on your likes and dislikes. Joe.
I've got a factory tour booked in for 6 October this year, and the conformation stuff states that we'll see the two new Hinkley production lines installed to supply the British and European markets! I'll tell you more after we've been.
My wife and I are interested to do the same like you next year. Please come up with some photos of your Hinkley production tour, if you are allowed to take them there.
I have a factory tour booked for this Sunday, 22nd. August. Having been on a tour in the past, I can confirm your suspicions , Photography will NOT be allowed!!
I was on the highway all day yesterday. Unfortunately my bike threw a code at 500km on Friday. I tracked it down to a P0917 which is gear position sensor high error. Talking to the shop they told me to keep riding it and booked me in for the first service and checked to see if they had one in stock. (they did) So yesterday I loaded the bike in my trailer and hauled it 450 km to the dealer. They did the service and changed out the sensor. When I got back home last night I quickly installed my shield which arrived on Monday. It is the 22" and I think I would have been fine with a 20". I have it set in the lowest position, the mount looks to have about 4" of vertical adjustment as well as the ability to adjust the angle. Today I will take it out for a test ride on the highway and see how it is. By the time I got finished it was starting to get dark out. Edit: I removed the original pictures and attached a couple I took today out in the sunlight. I had the bike out on the highway with the shield and the protection is really good. I don't start to get any buffeting until I am up around 140 km/hr and even then it is very minor. With it being a quick attach I will do most of my riding without it on and use it only when it gets cold or I plan on going out on the highway for a few hours. It takes no more than 30 seconds to clip in onto the bike. It looks like the forum will not allow me to remove the original pictures.....
Congratulations on your new T120, @DougM! I'm glad your wife likes it, too. "Happy wife, happy life". Just ask my hubby. And welcome to the forum! That is a beautiful Bonnie and I love the color combo. But, boy, your dealership is certainly a long haul for you--literallly and figuratively. What a shame you needed a repair right out of the starting gate. Hopefully your bike will run well for you now and you'll get to break it in and really enjoy it. Is that a Street Glide with lowers on it I spied in your garage? I thought perhaps it was an Ultra when I first saw it but it doesn't have the running lights in the front to the sides of the headlight. I'm also a Triumph and Harley-Davidson owner. There are a few of us on this forum!
You would be correct, it's a 2020 Street Glide. I already have over 32,000 km on it. I bought it in the spring of 20. The Bonneville I just got replaced a Super Tenere I sold last month.
