    FI Bonneville Partial Throttle Response

    Thanks everyone for the info and link. Bike is still new and not even to first oil change, so I'm not going to mess with anything right now. I can deal with it. One thing in the other forum that did catch my eye was a comment about affecting corner entry and exit in slower corners. As a...

    FI Bonneville Partial Throttle Response

    So I read a lttle about the low-speed part-throttle response prior to getting my new T100 Bonne. But I sort of dismissed it as typical internet grumbling. Okay, l get it. Riding this thing through town and the neighborhood smoothly is challenging to say the least. l find myself riding...

    Usually automotive is decent, but they need to keep an eye on their suppliers. Especially if sourcing from intermediaries, As for the cost cutting, it's chump change, but they justify it over # number of units. As you might guess it's a peeve of mine.

    Hello from San Francisco

    Awesome choice. I really like the T120, but the deal on the '15 T100 I just got was so good I couldn't justify the extra $$$. M

    The Rider Returns

    All, After 30+ years l got another bike. Been kicking the idea around for a few years. When I went for a 50 mile ride with my neighbor Dale (he loaned his V-Star) that settled it. Just got a great deal on a 2015 T100. You can find me on Instagram as MattBonneville. l'M BACK BABY! M
