AFter a lot of soul searching I think I want a Bonnieville. NOt many shops in my area so I have not yet visited a dealer. At first, I thought I wanted a speedmaster or America but Im coming home to my roots if I can. I can no longer live with forward controls because it starts to hurt my back and Im short legged anyway.
Im 5' 5" and my inseam I think is about 29 inches. IM riding a sportster now that has a 28.5 inch seat. I cant flat foot it but its not that hard to handle and it has a high center of gravity.
Are there any short riders in here on a Bonnieville? I really would like to have a white one but Im not paying extra for paint. That is a rip off. Thanks.
I would like to also ask how these bikes handle in general. My stupid days lets say are way past me now but I would like to feel confident on the bike and want good brakes. I cannot imagine this thing being worse than a sportster.
