    “Saving for a Bonneville.

    I had one of the t100 centenary ones with norman hyde pipes, hagon shrouded rear shocks and wider bars – one of only two bikes i regret selling (the other was a kmx200)

    1997 CBR1100XX (Blackbird) here. Unfortunately looking rather sad and neglected at the mo. After years of 20k miles/year commuting on my bikes, in late 2010 I was sent to work at a client 250 miles from home. This has meant I’ve done only 1k miles this year. Bobbins.

    I really enjoy the Bonnie. It’s a little slow, I’ve only had 110 out of it, but the different pace and style of riding was exactly what I wanted. It is hard (for me at least) to get used to not being able to just open the throttle and overtake absolutely anything in an instant but at the same time I just plain enjoy riding it 🙂

    I’ve rather got into the tarting it up thing too, quite a few cosmetic bolt-ons already in place. I’ve never done that with sportsbikes, an exhaust and crashbungs were usually all I bothered with.

    The Enfields may have a similar style but 27 BHP will be painfully slow I think.

    Don’t know if 27 BHP would be enough though!

    That depends on where and why you ride. Honda claim 39 BHP for my VTZ250, which is probably close to 27 in the real world and that’s fine for me to go wafting about the countryside at speeds I can wear an open face helmet for. Throw in a few motorways and dual carriageways and rather more patience is required.

    I write with a tear in my eye,
    I have an Aprilia RST Futura

    Failed MoT, nothing too serious but it was waiting for me to get round to fixing it when the lockup was broken into. The resulting damage has meant it’s not worth fixing up so it’s likely to end up in bits on ebay. I’m gutted. Apart from the rarity value (I’ve only seen 4 and own one of those), it’s the best bike I’ve ever owned. Amazing reliability apart from electrical problems (resolved by shorting out the offending articles), comfortable enough for a week long round Britain 1600 mile jaunt, all the torque you’d expect from a big twin, fast and sharp enough to keep me happy.

    Still, I’d never have got shot of it otherwise, so might now look at one of these as a replacement

    ..or as my brother said about his when asked how fast it went
    “Don’t know, at 90 it rattles so much I’m scared it’ll fall to bits so slow down”

    northwind – stunning is that a gsx front end i see?

    Cheers- aye, K6 GSXR750 forks.

    @Tomaso- totally agree… There’s always been rumous of a 650R version. Ironically you can build one using almost entirely off-the-shelf Suzuki parts and everything fits up like factory, just needs one custom spec bearing.

    What’s annoying is that the stock one’s suspension isn’t so terrible, it just has stupidly light springs and oil in the forks, so the average UK rider is too heavy for them. Daft, it’d cost peanuts to correct that.

    Cheers – It’s a fantastic machine (I don’t normally like singing the praises of my own stuff, normally because I buy rubbish) but its waaaaay too much for me. I had more fun on the loaner CBR600r they lent me when this went in for its first service.

    I’m only allowed a 200cc bike, having passed my first test in Singapore this year (need to drive for a year before I can take the 400cc test, then another year until big bike test 🙁 ). I do get to ride big engined exotica in Thailand though. 🙂
