    Hi All the name's Dave and you can probably guess where I came from ;) I'm just trading in a GSX1400 for a T100SE so I'll likely be looking for advice on here when I get the bike. I'm not a complete Triumph newby though as I've previously owned a Tiger Cub, 55 Tiger 100, an pre-unit T Bird chopper built from various bits (that was back in the 70's when I was very young), and an early Hinckley Trophy 900.

    Hello Dave and welcome in to the Triumph Asylum.

    You're gonna notice a slight difference in roll-on power but the 865cc Bonnys are very nice bikes and you can do loads to them, to make her 'your' Bonny.

    I'm definitely going to miss the power of the GSX14, I already noticed when test riding the Bonnie that I can't go from 50 to 100+ in a few seconds so I'm going to have to plan overtakes a bit better lol! I haven't even got the Bonnie yet but I already have a set of loud pipes and some different bars sat here ready to fit so it will become "mine" ;)
