Not all the motorcycles are perfect. As to Bonneville, several items are missing that are normally installed for other motorcycles, such as hazard light, mechanic tools, space under the seat, and center stand. Regarding the center stand, I have had Norman Hyde center stand (HYDE CENTRE STAND for ALL T100 & BONNY to ’08, Part Number: HBK133) installed on my Bonneville (For 2009 on Bonneville and SE smaller cast wheel models see HBK533). I believe that Norman Hyde provides center stand at the cost less than Triumph but with full functions.
I thought myself why Bonneville needs the center stand. Here is the list of my top 10 reasons!
- Making it easier to clean the drive chain and wheel
- Making it easier to examine the tire conditions
- Making it easier to check the tire pressures
- Making it easier to check/change the engine oil
- Making it easier to park at the limited/unstable spaces
- Making it easier to balance the luggage on the seat
- Making it easier to remove/attach the rear wheel
- Making it easier to do maintenance of the front
- Making it easier to take a nap on the seat
- Making it easier to eat rice balls (hamburger) while sitting on the seat
Well, anything else?
