This has been a tough decision. I wanted a new motorcycle in the fleet - my 'newest' was a 1999 Triumph Legend TT, which runs well but when I need parts, I've often waited 2-3 weeks, which is a big chunk of the brief riding season in northern Michigan. It was time for a new daily rider, but the choice was tough.
I wanted a classic-styled standard, so that eliminated cruisers and sport bikes. I'll admit, I fell in love with the Royal Enfield Bullet Chrome, but in the end, the 27 HP just didn't win me over. I sat on Honda's CB1100, but it just didn't fit me well, and the angular edges of the tank weren't appealing to me. I like the Moto Guzzi and Ural engines, but in the end, I've settled on a new Bonneville T100.
I'm looking forward to reading the posts in this forum - thanks to all who have contributed.
The Bonneville joins these stablemates in the garage:
1965 Honda C102 Super Cub
1965 Honda CA95 Benly Touring 150
1967 Bianchi Aquilotto
1972 Honda CB175
1999 Triumph Legend TT
