Kinda surprised nobody here has even mentioned a Moto Guzzi considering how 1 comment can derail the pictured thread into 2 pages of nothing but Guzzi's (not that that's a bad thing). Seems to fit your retro styling needs. Performance is pretty similar to your 2 preferred options. In my opinion upright seating is over-rated for comfort, a little forward lean feels better to me. I would get a Street Triple. It's almost 100 pounds lighter than the bonnie, and you can try one out while you're at the dealer anyway. I don't know where you are but here's Pro Italia's spec sheet for the S3, you can navigate to the Bonnie and Guzzi's pretty easy to cheak the prices and HP figures http://www.proitalia.com/bike/2013/street-triple/ I know you're not about power but the first time you're about to get pinched off in a lane and need to get out of the way is that Bonnie going to do it for you? P.S. after re-reading this post I'm not judging or anything, I'm sure whatever you get you'll love, and we'll all still love to see the pics and hear about your first ride with it. Just trying to say weight and power improvements over the years are good things, not dick waving contests as some goons take it as.

Snowdens Secret posted:If you think the Bonneville is underpowered and slow don't even think about a Guzzi V7. Oh yea I totally wasn't trying to say that, but giving the OP another option in his genre. It's the thread where your friend tells you he wants to buy a new Versa but you're like "omg why would want that when you can get a used E36 M3?!?!"

KARMA! posted:... am I the only one who doesn't care about exhaust note? My post was more about the benefits of the V4, the fact it sounds so mean is just a side effect. A wonderful, raucous, side effect.

Nitrox posted:I'm going to resurrect this thread because it had a good discussion going on before turning into something weird. If I only had to pick among those bikes at their market value, that CB looks great! The bolt looks nice, but it's reviews reveal its overall cheap feeling, the harley's pretty well known, and the shadow isn't even worht considering in that company in my opinion. Go test ride the Honda!
