Only thing I don't like is the fly-by throttle, but suppose it's needed for some reason. It will be the entry level model 900, the others going up to 1200cc.

On a personal level I think the new Bonnevilles look fantastic and I look forward to seeing one in the flesh.

Vespa GTS300 Super for practical runabout, Triumph Tiger Explorer for conquering the planet. Car almost obsolete.

Hmmm the bikes i am considering have some new ones to add to the list for next year! My head says buy a scooter, my heart says build another custom bike, torn between building a custom cub, a TW200, something older and bigger and make a brat style bike, no doubt by time i have the money i will have had another 50 bikes in my head to choose from, has to be a bit different to the norm though, was in the local bike shops last week and was bored rigid what i saw but i do like the fat tyred look of the hipster bikes thats in vogue now!

Pics look good, but for me the existing model Bonneville with ABS would have sufficed.
A 270 crank motor doesn't sound appealing, hopefully they've sorted out the NVH.

Had a 315 degree crank motor in my Nuda, fantastic engine/machine, sounded the dogs bollox, better than the mild 800 engine from a BMW is was based on! Dunno if it makes the Triumph nearer to the Nuda than the other way round but hopefully its a stonker!

Just saw the Eurosport review of the Birmingham Bike show...it was proudly pointed out that the new Bonnevilles were so retro they even had a fake carburettor! Am I alone in thinking that's ludicrous??
