2 questions -

is this just another paul smith grab for the quick cash - old guys i know that you might have a different thought cause it reminds you of long ago but why another model thats not that different from the bonnie.
or is it?
why is does it fire at 270 instead of 360 like bonnies and thrx

like the looks of it, brings back memeries as I'm one of the older guys, will I buy one, hard to say, but right now I sort of doubt it.

but I do like the looks of it, at least in the pictures anyways. :-D

I love it, However I don't like the idea of it being higher than the Bonnie. I know why it is, but when you have 30" inseam that extra height is a killer!!!!

Just looks like a bonnie with different clothes. And yes I had a honda scrambler thing way back when but I dont need to relive it.

Already put a deposite down on one!

Would I buy one? I'll have to see one in person, and sit on it, before I'd decide. I do love the looks, but maybe since I'm almost 46 I may fit into that "old guy" group. I do know it's looks just aren't for everyone, my wife thinks it's ugly as sin.

I like it; I'm one of the older guys. I was considering buying one; but I don't really care for the 270 firing. I am now very seriously thinking of converting my T100 to a scrambler. My wife will still haver her T100 in basically stock configuration. I do tend to ride on umpaved roads.

I have an America and have ridden a few standard bonnies/T100s at demo trucks, I still don't really know the difference between the 270 and 360 motors...

Scrambler?? I dont think so Looks too heavy/bulky & the pipe burns caN probably qualify as tattoos! I had 305 Scrambler Awesome bike for what it was If I want to re-live that era (Not inFla) I will re-configure my Bonne & make it like I wamt it - not the EPA Rather add than rip off the bike
Saw some awesome scrambler type pipes in Torque split side cleaner & leaner New Scrambler not Good concept tho
Maybe a re-make of my 1st bike Trophy 250 ??Capt D

Yes. I do. Over the HIll? I have owned two Norton Commando S models. If you will pardon me for being BLUNT, the appeal is is the high pipes. I do remember a Ducati I had with HIGH PIPES. Both Nortons had Tomeseli clipons, Custom Made rear sets, one down and three up shift pattern, and "boo coo" ground clearence. These UNITS were pure sport bikes. Men will but these Triumphs because or the high pipes alone. GOD bless all those that love high pipes. I am trying to find a good looking set of high pipes for my Truxton. My Dad took me for my first ride at age six. did my first ride at ate eight. I am 57 years old and always have a smile when I Ride.
