TRIUMPH BOBBER BLACK & SPEEDMASTER

TRIUMPH IS RENOWNED for creating new models from its existing range (just look at the many T100 Bonnie variants of a couple of years ago). So it’s no surprise that they have taken the one platform, in this case the muscular Bonneville T120, and given us two totally different bikes – the Bobber Black and Speedmaster. The Bobber Black is for the café riders who want some muscle on tap, even if they only use it every now and again; the Speedmaster is for the touring rider who wants to travel our big brown land without the bulk of a big cruiser. For the launch of these two bikes we did a city ride and some drag racing, for the Bobber Black, and went to the Hunter Valley on the Speedmaster – a perfect way to show what these two bikes are all about.
