👉 Join the r/Triumph Discord 👈

(https://discord.gg/UAUtjrhCTA)

We've fully overhauled the official r/Triumph Discord. If you joined a while back and forgot about it, now's a good time to come back. If you've never been, come drop by.

Buy, sell, and trade on the Discord 💰

Selling isn't allowed here on the subreddit, but it is on the Discord. The marketplace is the place for bikes, parts, and gear:

  • Tagged Selling, Buying, or Trading.
  • Use real photos of the actual item. No AI images.
  • Stay safe: never pay with "Friends & Family" methods or gift cards. Scammers are out there. Deals are at your own risk.
  • Run a shop or sell something you make? Ask a mod before posting.

What else is there

  • Real-time chat with other Triumph owners.
  • Tech/Maintenance help. Ask a question, get answers, and mark it solved. Easy to search later when someone else has the same problem.
  • Bike of the Month. Enter a photo of your bike from the 1st to the 20th of the month. Everyone votes until the end of the month, and the winner gets a special role. October entries are open now.
  • Buying advice. Shopping for your first (or fifth) Triumph? Ask the people who ride them.
  • Popular r/Triumph posts from this subreddit are automatically shared to the server in their own channel.
  • Voice chat. Hang out in the garage channel, or start your own room for whatever discussion you want to have. You can also link your Reddit username, so people know who you are on both sides.

Not a Triumph owner yet? You're welcome too. Plenty of members are still shopping or just enjoy the bikes/brand. The Discord has its own set of rules that mostly mimic what we do here in the subreddit - you'll see them when you join. The basics: be respectful, keep it (generally) safe for work, and no spam or scams. Got ideas for the server? Tell us in the comments or in the feedback channel once you're in. discord.gg/UAUtjrhCTA Ride safe! 🏍️

--We are looking for "Ambassadors" in the Discord. These are Triumph fans with Discord modding experience who want to help out on the server. DM me in Discord if you're interested.--

Bike Pictures I love the 1200 x

Hey Triumph fam. This is just a little appreciation post to Triumph and their 2025 Scrambler 1200x. At the start of the riding season I was still riding the 2017 Street Scrambler with 42000kms on it. It needed new tires, oil and was WAY BEHIND on a valve check. Basically I was in despair because I absolutely loved that bike but I knew it may be time to trade up since I didn't have that kind of money on hand. In July Triumph offered 0% financing on the 2025 scramblers and I jumped on it. The dealer knew what my 2017 required and they gave me $3k so with the tax savings it helped with my new payments. ( I tried selling privately first with no luck, plus I couldn't sell it without the buyer knowing what it needed.) Accessories on the 2025s were also at 0% and 15% off MRSP so of course I knew this was the time to get them as well. When I picked up the bike the first thing I noticed was the huge increase in power and stability riding on the highway. This bike is an absolute unit. I know there are bigger bikes but I always thought my 900 was pretty capable and I rode it hard. Now it feels like I have upgraded from a beginner bike to a man's bike. Thank you Triumph for your 0% and helping me fall in love with motorcycling all over again. I have already enjoyed 7000+kms & a successful moto camping trip. I am looking forward to squeezing in the last bit of riding this season and can't wait for the next.

Maintenance Issues Is this sound normal on the Street Twin?

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I bought a 2018 Street Twin last month, and I've noticed this weird noise when accelerating and decelerating. Is this normal?

If not, has anyone else experienced this? What could be causing it, and how can I fix it?

Just a newbie to the Triumph world! 😅

Has anyone ever come across something like this to fit a 2022 (or later) Tiger 1200?
Generic ones all look like they’d foul the rear suspension reservoir.
Thanks!

Mods and Customization Bonneville T120 Handlebars

Post image
7 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations to add some downward low/cafe style handlebars to a '24 T120. As far as I understand aftermarket bars don't typically have the inner end threads that allow for compatibility with OEM bar end mirrors which I would prefer to keep? I've looked at Ace and Clubman bars and was set on the Norman Hyde M Bars for a not too aggressive position but am looking for clarity on if it's even possible to find after market handlebars for liquid cooled Bonnevilles that can be compatible with the Triumph bar end mirrors? Pardon my ignorance, new to the Triumph and Moto world! Any input is appreciated!

Hi guys ,I’m looking to change / custom my t120 bike wondering what you guys think of these colour options for tank & side panel or any other ideas you guys may have , I’m keeping the dark brown bench seat , so has to match that 😊
Many thanks in advance , here are some of my chatGPT options , I’m going to be using a 2k rattle cans so colours have to be accessible in that form.
Those that like the green do you prefer it with the black or green side panel 👍?

Annoyed these gloves that are a year and half old are peeling. They say their goat leather but the piping is cheap fake leather. Tried complaining but they don’t care. Messed up. They still sell the same crap in their stores. They need real leather piping.

Enjoyed perfect weather for mid-October to ride down with a buddy across 2 midwest states for meetings and a bike night very well attended. We got looks, waves and compliments at the gas stops, by trucks, delivery vans, and other riders which was awesome. But the ride was the best part of the experience. For the ride, indeed!

Other Update on Earlier Concerns

11 Upvotes

Hello all

A few weeks ago I made a post on here looking for advice and general wisdom because I had been gifted a Triumph Bonneville T120 by my father in law after completing the MSF basic course. I had done some looking online and saw lots of talk about the ride by wire system being touchy, the power of the engine being something to actively contain, weight of the bike in turning and slow speed maneuvers…

Well, I finally took it out and rode it around the neighborhood and to put some gas in it.

It rides like a dream. It’s so much smoother than the Suzuki I used in the MSF course, and while there does need to be some respect for the throttle, it carried me around without a hiccup. Turns, stops, a U-turn, going up to 4th gear and just cruising. I’m laughing a little because I was worrying myself over nothing.

Going to keep doing backroad driving and drills in the parking lot to hone my skills, but so far this fucking rocks.

Maintenance Issues How do i fix this?

Noticed the parking light on my 2018 Street Twin flickering a lot after riding, it doesn't do it when the engine is turned off but does it after a ride. What's the fix here? Is it just a simple bulb change?

Triumph info T100 2015 vs T120 2017vs Thunderbird LT 2016— Which would you choose?

T100 2015 vs T120 2017vs Thunderbird LT 2016— Which would you choose?

Dear fellow Bonnie lovers!

Thanks for all the advice on my Bonneville hunt. Now I’m confused between three options:

- 2015 Thunderbird LT: ₹7 lakh (~$8,200), 30,000 km.

- 2015 Bonneville T100 (865 cc): Single owner, just 2,500 km, recorded service history, but some damage from sitting unused. 3700$

- 2017 Bonneville T120: Second owner, 17,000 km, recorded service history. Seller is moving to Australia and asking ₹5 lakh (~$5,900).

A little about me: I’ve ridden Harleys as a chapter manager for over 80,000 km in softails and sportsters and extensively ridden a BMW G 310 GS, including Umling La.

I live in the mountains and want an all-round motorcycle for daily rides, mountain roads and occasional family trips. I own a car but prefer motorcycles. I value character, individuality, reliability and long-term ownership over outright performance.

Which would you choose, considering maintenance, spare-parts availability in India and everyday practicality? Is the low-mileage T100 worth considering despite sitting unused, or is the T120 at ₹5 lakh the obvious choice?

Would love to hear from actual owners!
