May be its an inner person thing :idea: deep inside possibly your a repressed Brit biker at heart but can't seem to come out with it some how it appears as abandonment of the Jap bikes to admit the want of a Brit bike but along comes the Jap wannabe Brit bike that causes this "wierd" thought , with proper therapy you can draw this thing out and have closure and piece of mind :lol:


Man I had too much coffe this morning :mrgreen: , I like the W800 :!: and the Triumphs also 8-)

W800 or Bonnie....I'd get the one which has the most Hp & Torque and the least weight.

I think the Triumphs are nice too, but they are still struggling with design IMO. The W's are just "flowing" design wise. I wouldn't mind a Thruxton though :thumbup:

Beautiful bike. And it's a more "authentic" looking classic than the new Bonneville.
