Finally found time to get out for a short ride.
My wife snapped a few pix as I was heading out.
The Bonneville feels a lot lighter than it's 225kg probably due to the small 110 front and 130 rear Metzler 17" tyres. The steering is quite quick for a 'classic' style bike.
Hp and torque are tiny at 68ps and 68Nm compared to my other bikes but the torque is there from 2500 - 7500 rpm. I took the baffle insert out of the muffler and will modify it slightly to give me the sound I want. I also took off the standard mirrors. I prefer bar ends.
All in all a nice easy bike to ride when I don't feel like working too hard.

The mystique of the 1960s Truimph Bonnevilles. I still think they are beautiful machines.

So glad they made a comeback.

I was banned from having a bike by the boss so got nearest thing I could. Not quite as exhilerating as two wheels but great fun in the sun.
