BunnysZ just bought one of these but in plain black.

One of my work buddies just bought this. Apparently one of only 35 in this colour and pipe combo. What do you reckon?

i think its a cracking looking bike, capable, traditional and fairly simple looking. id ride that over any new and over engineered modern bike the whle time. is that a stainless exhaust of the production line too?

Yes Mick, stainless Arrow.

I had a little ride and it reminds me very much of the original Bonnie I rode many years ago but without the shakes.
It even has throttle bodies for the f.i. Which look like carbs.

Low seat, good riding position for a bimble through the lanes and a wicked sound. I'd have one.

Having just sold my Z1000sx I have been looking for something more 'relaxed' and decided on a Bonneville. Just trying to decide between the more modern one with alloys or the T100?

I tried one - but it's not a patch on me W650 - that is much more in keeping with a retro "Bonnie" styled machine :wink:

I was was torn between the Scrambler & the W650 - in the end the W650 won and I've had it yonks - nearly 2 years now - great bike :shock:

I would highly recommend it , mine is a T100 black they are slightly higher rthan the mag wheels, comfortable stylish and glide around corners

That's funny because by some strange coincidence, that's what I bought too! The Black edition looks very nice, should be getting it next week sometime.
