Forget the R go the SS

Sorry folks, but I disagree.

I prefer the "base" model and it's price.

Not everyone has the same tastes.

I like my flysreen/eyebrow thingies, but wouldn't want a belly pan.

I want, and am prepared to pay for, suspension set up for me and the way I want the bike to feel. An "R" model wouldn't automatically do that.

When I put the striple in for its first service, I had a test ride on a T100 Bonnie, and, while I really liked it in terms of riding it, and I am tempted to buy a Bonnie as my cruising bike, I really didn't like most of the "extras" in the T100.

I prefered the plain jane Bonnie, except for the lack of rev.counter.

Now, what I could see would be an "SS" model, a striple with the Daytona 675 suspension brakes and engine.....none of this re-tuned for torque.

I reckon folk would buy that. (Not me, but other folk!)
