I like my Ducati for weekends but needed something different to just chuff around on.

johnbeth · 20 June 2013, 06:19 PM

I like it!! How was the ride Ed?

Andad · 20 June 2013, 06:34 PM

A lot softer than the 1098 but not quite as quick.

I have only ridden it home (yesterday) but will give it some at the weekend.

Andad · 20 June 2013, 08:23 PM

Tks guys.

The last Triumph (excluding my T6 Triton) I owned was a 350 bathtub in '66.

padi56 · 20 June 2013, 08:34 PM

Had a few Bonnevilles in my younger days great bikes and I do like yours but not 100% sure on the red frame but I am old school in bikes. Below list is which started me on two wheels,had a few bikes in between but list is the most memerable. But now only four wheels for me,but do still very occasionally ride if I get the chance on my mates old 1967 bonnie,that bring back a lot of memories of my biker past days.

1960 NSU Prima scooter.

1961 Velocette Venom

1962 Triumph Bonneville.

1965 Triumph Bonneville.

1970s. A few assorted BSA, AJS, Triumph.

1978 Kawasaki Z900, loved this bike.

1982 Honda CBX inline 6 cylinder

swatty · 20 June 2013, 08:38 PM

Very nice Eddie, sure looks stealth

cop414 · 20 June 2013, 08:42 PM

Very, very nice. Looks very "British".

Love the red striped strap.

Johny · 20 June 2013, 09:26 PM

very retro eddie, it looks great . nice easy upright riding position for cruising around.

i'm going to be selling my 68 bonnie. it never gets used. i'm always out on the 79 750 bonnie.

Triumph t6 in a featherbed frame.
MV 750 F1 Agusta.
Ducati 851, 916, 1098. + a few others I think.
All great fun.

Well my old fully restored 1962 Bonnie won best in class twice at the Bristol classic bike show many years ago now sold it after the second show that was a big mistake but then needed the cash.And the Bonnie came third in the open show out of just over 2000 classic bikes.It was a Vincent Black Shadow a 1955 D series 1000-cc was best in show.And if I remember it was a 1960 Velocette Venom 500cc second.On the day perhaps the judges liked all black bikes.Now the Vincent was a absolute brute of a bike rode once a it scared the brown stuff out of me.Even in those days quite capable of 140mph,but very poor brakes and you needed plenty of guts to wind up the throttle to full speed but still one of the great British bikes.

Lol-x · 20 June 2013, 09:35 PM

Great looker Eddie... the red frame is

I like the Arrow exhausts too!!!
Bonnies have a steeped history in motorcycles.

Peter I am amazed you had a Honda cbx1000.... that is 6 cyclinders of power!

Yes it was a great engine very quite and plenty or power but handling a bit skittish you had to be careful on the fast bends.And unfortunately the venom went way back in the 1970s if I kept all the Brittish bikes I owned they would be worth a fortune today

joe100 · 20 June 2013, 09:35 PM

I like the fast rider NATO

kilyung · 21 June 2013, 01:36 AM

Gorgeous bike but (IMO) a red frame looks best on a Ducati.

Chainring · 21 June 2013, 01:04 PM

I like it. Maybe red frames are for Ducatis but I think it works. Back a few years ago I had a Triumph TT600. The bike was kinda dated stying-wise compared to the Yamahas and Hondas but the finish and sound of the bike was incredible compared to the others. When my riding mates and I stopped somewhere people always came to look at my bike. Alas, I had to get rid of it before I killed myself.

Nice! I have an '07 Yamaha R6. Now I just need to find some pictures of it. I could always go open the garage...
