I´Ve had my Bonnie for about a month now, its really good, I´ve had a Suzuki Bandit 600 for 12 months after about a twenty year lay off the bikes! I was told that the Suzuki would be a good 1st bike to get back on, but it was a bit disappointing - very revvy and a bit stressful to ride. The Bonneville is completely different great torque, pulls right thru´ the gears handles fantastic, it reminds me of my T150V Trident. its a really great bike I just want to ride it all the time.
