Don't want to rub anyone up the wrong way, but had a Bonneville as a loaner for the day while my Speedy got his 500m service and a set of TORs and thought the differences were worth noting:
1) SENSATION of speed much higher on the Speedy, but often I would look down at the Bonny speedo and realise I was going a lot faster than I thought
2) How do you stay on that seat? Jaysus I thought I was flying off the back of it every time I gave it some welly..
3) Very manouverable, reckon U-turns and suchlike no problem on this bike.. Speedy would require some skill to get round as tight as the Bonny I reckon
4) Not a great impression from the sound, but it was completely stock and I'm now running TORs, which I think are great.
5) Really small.. felt my knees were going to hit my chin on a couple of speedbumps.. and I'm not huge.
Conclusion? None really. Happy with my choice, but understand the manouverability argument with the Bonnie. With the general size and the seat I did feel like I was "hanging on" a bit, rather than riding it. Otherwise, cool.

the Bonnie gets to the endline in front of the Speedy and the TBA.
