Spec's

47 Hp
44 ft-lbs
478 lbs wet

$ 10,000 !!!

Over priced, heavy and underpowered. Looks cool, probably loads of fun to handle.....but we already have over priced, heavy and slow in the USA.

IMO.....for less money a Bonnie would be a better bike and there's lots of aftermarket to gain even more power out of a Bonnie.

Looks like they got rid of the kicker..... :oops:

It is a looker though !!!

Those specs look like a (heavy) Suzuki 500 2-stroke! :lol: Had 2 friends that were disappointed with their new Triumph Bonnevilles- Too slow, even for a slow bike.

Actually, the '68 Bonneville was King of the Hill - unless you had a '68 Suzuki T500, then along came the Triples, yada, yada............!! :lol:

I like it. If they would bring it to the US and get the price to $6499 they would move a lot of them.

Even the W650 was overpriced when it came to the U.S.A........Thats why they didn't sell !!!!!! I would think if you were in the market for this kind of bike,a couple year old used Bonnie would be the way to go !!!!!
