I really hate the look of the Bonnie. But to each his own.

I miss the spartan utility of my Nighthawk 750. Now that the Bonneville has ditched its spoke wheels and sprouted fuel injectors, it's only a set of Givi hardbags away from becoming my perfect commuter / tourer. The Triumph is miles more attractive than my CB, and I'm tired of packing all my crap into a backpack any time I ride the SV.

I'd feel more confortable if it had more than one brake disc up front but i'm sure it gets the job done.

How much are they asking for those?

Fuck me, that's gorgeous!

I like the current generation Bonnie but that one is dead sexy!

I like that, it's got clean lines.

Just out of curiousity, why do you need a backpack with the SV? There's hard and soft luggage available for it...

bonnie is a sweet looking bike. I hear they ride well too.

Dave · 02-05-2010, 01:46 PM

i suppose the *gasp!* sporty would fit your requirements too. Def an enjoyable ride, if not a stereotypical one

Speaking of sportsters, check out Honda's most recent blantant rip-off:

But for $7,800? The real deal with 133cc more displacement starts for less than $7K...

Check out the Honda Pantom. Not a bad looking bike.

The Bonnie is a fun ride. I know a guy that has an 08 Bonnie Black for sale.

Not a good looking one either.

Honda really is missing the mark lately.
