Motley.......why not change bars to MBARS, use risers, football grips and put Bonne stock footrests on your Thruxton ?
LMT
Get the FJ09 which is the best bang for the buck out there ....it's priced really well and is a better bike than your naked. I wouldn't tour on my T100.
really, never heard that before, never having owned one myself all I can say is I've never heard bad things about the bike and your FZ was picked as standard of the year. All bikes should carry the warning "Your Experience May Vary".

But as they used to say in the old Packard commercial "talk to the man who owns one"
I've already got the '05 Thruxton so I'm not really looking for vintage, or carbs. I like the idea of the 17" front wheel, it might mean a greater choice of tyres. I'm just looking for something more relaxed than the Thruxton, although I intend to keep the Thruxton too. The Yamaha, on the other hand, has got to go!
Good to know Rich. Although, as long as I don't have fewer choices, than I've had on the Thruxton, I'll be happy enough.
Man these mag wheeled basic Bonnies are tiny, and very light, in comparison to the '05 Thruxton. They really are a much different bike.
around here they are referred to as a girls bike...
Since when did they require the clutch to be disengaged to get the bike to start?
My '04 Thruxton had the clutch interlock to start in gear and the neutral interlock to start in neutral. Both were removed when I simplified the wiring harness.
Doesn't your '05 behave in the same manner?
