Hi, I just thought I would share my experience with you guys.
I am going to France and Belgium week after next for a three day tour. I sold my Honda VFR (Sports tourer) to buy the Bonnie as I wanted to live longer than the expected life expectancy if I kept riding at the speeds the VFR goaded me to ride at. When this tour came up my initial thought was why did I get rid of the VFR as I won't be able to keep up with the pack.
Well yesterday we had a ride out with the gang for about 140 miles and I was right up there with them all the way. She will accelerate as well as the sports tourers and corner just as fast.
I have to say I was perfectly comfortable and relaxed when we got back as I was when we left. More so than if I had my old bike.
I intend to fit a fly screen as we have about 300 miles of motorway riding each way before we get onto the biking roads so prolonged high speed is anticipated. I have a tank bag and a tail pack fitted and am ready to go.
I think the old girl will be a pleasure to ride the only problem is fuel capacity. Still, it makes for an excuse to have a rest.
So Triumph Bonneville modern classic or all rounder?
