    Nice bike, one of my favourites, but the brakes are seriously underpowered.

    Have to say, at first look I wasn't too enamored, but second looks, yeah, I like it too. Esp with the brebmo upgrade.

    No - not nice. :p

    And, you would probably spend more time looking at it, scratching your head trying to figure out why it wont start. :eek:

    I'm trying to think what it looks like...

    It's a cross between and dog with it's tail between it's legs with it's ears down and a cheetah with a broken leg and a severly malnurished hippo.

    Just saying...

    I like them. But I have about 6 bikes I'd buy before I'd get one. I need to win the lotto to have a garage of bikes I'm happy with. I reckon 10 bikes would do nicely :)

    I don't know why but it looks like it's about to cry. O_o

    [Edit] That's it! It reminds me of Egor from Winnie the Pooh.

    The Bonnie with the blacked out engine casing, I saw one in Dublin Triumph which is opening shortly, looks the biz. I wonder about the sort of pretend choke which sets idling speed, but it all looks excellent. Probably more useable than the Meridien originals as they rarely had electric start. They have x-ring chains, tho no centre stand, except as an option. The America exists as a cruiser form, a bit meh for me.
