Triumph in turn interprets the theme of the bobber, a machine stripped to the limit, with a bribing gaze on America. Because the inspiration as the thirst for conquest are indeed linked to the country of Uncle Sam. Surprising, visually violent, UK in front and US behind, the Bonneville wants to make an impression with this new version. Take out the grated leathers, helmets full of hair and the rumblings of seasoned evenings. The 1200 Bobber arrives !

What happened ?!? A preparer in the town of Hinckley cracked his chainsaw on a T120? Not exactly, but there is something to it in the process. With a whole bunch of changes, the Bonnie transforms into a pure style motorcycle, with the perfect bobber outfit (hence the name). Refined, rid of the superfluous, it leaves the curious glued to its semi-suspended single-seater saddle. Side look: terrible. Comfort side? This should do it because the seat is adjustable, via a few tools. According to the manufacturer, the aluminum saddle support can be raised, advanced, lowered and retracted until the ideal saddle position is obtained..
Triumph took the design to the point of creating a false hardtail for the rear part of the frame. A bit like the Harley-Davidson Softail. But when Milwaukee stashes a duo of shock absorbers under the chassis, Triumph quite cleverly hides its single shock absorber under the saddle..

Suddenly, we had to rethink the frame of the Bonneville. And go into the details in order to satisfy customers eager for personalization. Spoked rims are still on call while the sizes have been changed. The front wheel goes down to 19 inches and the rear goes down to 16 with a thick gum for styling. The mudguards are redesigned with a reduced front and a rear integral with the tubes of the swingarm. Guaranteed effect on wheel movements.
It was also necessary to fit the battery on the outside left, after the casing. The exhausts are reworked, proud of a brushed stainless steel, with a bevelled shape and a more compact size. Terrifically retouched, the Bobber really looks like a Bonneville that would have been gniake by a giant critter. Only the engine is spared from the big blows of the ax.

Spared but not untouched. The engine manufacturers have given it a more typical “big torque” character to stick to the bobber spirit. Here in its “High Torque” version, the parallel twin of 1200 cm3 sees its two maps (Road and Rain) adapted. The electronics are present as on all recent machines in the Triumph range, namely traction control, ABS, ride-by-wire, LED lights, coded immobilizer, and cleverly concealed injection behind fake carbs.

The beautiful neighborhood comes alive when the rider grabs the handlebars. Almost flat Fat Bar style, it accommodates the retro on its ends. In front of him, a single counter – the less mess, the better. No need for a tachometer, just listen to the twin. But decency orders to inform of the essential with the speed in miles and km per hour, and of the superfluous with a digital window.

With this 1200 Bobber, Triumph gives Harley a blow in the c ….. es, with a machine that hits the preparation. Almost a descendant of the Rocker C. It is aimed at people who chew grease in the morning, those who pack the kitty without leaving them the slightest hope of hanging on, the freaks of the hangar and the hammers of the workshop . But that was before the marketing side came back. 150 accessories arrive in the stalls behind the Bobber. She who dreams only of the chiseling hand of the passionate.
