Very nice! The faux carbs are a nice touch! I looked at the Thruxton but, those things are too cramped for Derf! Not even close for me! I wish there were more true standards that were simple like the Triumphs. Honda did well with the Nighthawk many years ago but, the timing wasn't right and they sat on the showroom floors. Simple, smooth well-handling bikes that did what you needed them to do without a fuss.

I was strongly considering Honda's new CB1100 as well, but I couldn't find anything within $3000 of what I paid for this Triumph. I think the Bonnie is the [slightly] more attractive of the two, anyway: |

Those Bonnie's are sweet looking... there's a guy here in town I see every once in a while on my way to work... he has one all cafe'ed out... looks awesome, sounds good too.

The Bonnie reminded me today that it is NOT, in fact, a sportbike.
