Triumph Bonneville.

865cc, not that you'd notice. Piss poor brakes. Keep getting my trouser leg caught round the footpeg. Low and chunky.

Quite like it. Thumbs Up

What ya got a curtosy bike for?

It just seems so wrong to have a classic looking bike on an 07 plate.

They gave you that as a courtesy bike? It's a peculiar choice...

The Striple's in for a service.

I'm too short to ride a Tiger. Triumph don't really have any peds or usual 125 courtesy bikes.

Looks like fun , i'd like to ride it just for the experience of a different bike. What's the power like on one of these?

Bendy · Mrs Sensible Joined: 10 Jun 2002 Karma :

66bhp, apparently.

Next time try and blag a go on the Thruxton - the seating position feels a little bit more 'naughty' than the bonny, plus I want to know what they're like Very Happy

Bloke at work just got an 06 plate one of them. He rode it to work once, showed us how shiney it was, then put it back in his garage and reverted to his GN125 Confused

I understand dry miles & all that, but surely nice bikes are for riding?!?

You shoulda tried to get a scrambler Thumbs Up

Looks a bit squishy.

Are the brakes carved from genuine mahogany or plain old plywood? Rolling Eyes

Each to their own - I think on a warm summers day, open face helmet, pair o goggles and a gaggle of like minded mates, that would be nice to ride on country lanes, on the way back to the pub/hotel. Park it up, get a pint of real ale, talk about days gone by when ...

...uhhhh where am I?

My dad had one of those a couple of years ago. Think he bought it on impulse as a last gap "get back into biking" after 20 years off them. Did about 900 miles on it from new and flogged it, never rode a bike again. (Though he keeps threatening to have a go on my Thunderace when I take it round. Bet he can still ride like a nutter if he wants to.)

Bonneville Black Engine Cool

. This model is cheaper than normal one. But blacked out engine looks as good as normal one.
