I been thinking pretty hard that a Bonny would compliment my R3R just about right and look fine in the garage.
Will have to eliminate either the Honda or Kaw to make room.

I had a 2004 Bonnie for about 6 months before my 2005 R3. The new Bonnies will have 1100 cc and 91 hp and ABS brakes and weigh the same or less than the current model. Sounds intriguing.

Agree. If I get one it will a new one.
My major wrenching days are now behind me, so I want new.
Haven't decided on a model yet - I like them all.

The new Bonnes are 1200cc.

The new Bonnes are 1200cc.

True. I can't handle the riding position on the Bonneville anymore. Otherwise, it seems like a nice bike. The T-Bird is a good alternative for cruiser types but for the extra 500 cc, you get an extra 300 lbs. I would like to see a 600-650 lb Triumph cruiser with the 1700 parallel twin.

1200cc lucky to see 91 hp without the track kit,900cc is just lighter, 1200 Bonnie is heavier, Thruxton R is same compared to current model
I have ordered a Thruxton R, got a fair few mod ideas already.
I feel a conversation with Nev coming on.
