Simple, smooth well-handling bikes that did what you needed them to do without a fuss.

The Nighthawk 750 I bought new in 2003 was probably the best do-it-all motorcycle I've ever owned. This Bonneville has a very similar feel and time will tell if it lives up. That Honda took me to school, work, and across the country half a dozen times.

I was strongly considering Honda's new CB1100 as well, but I couldn't find anything within $3000 of what I paid for this Triumph. I think the Bonnie is the [slightly] more attractive of the two, anyway:

I realllly like the new Honda but, the price is way too high and I was quite disappointed in the power numbers it's supposed to be putting down.

Those Bonnie's are sweet looking... there's a guy here in town I see every once in a while on my way to work... he has one all cafe'ed out... looks awesome, sounds good too.

The Bonnie reminded me today that it is NOT, in fact, a sportbike.
