    I am new to the forum, and currently in the market for a Bonneville or Thunderbird. But which one?
    By the way if you have either, for sale in the north west region of the uk please give me a heads up.

    Hi & welcome to the forum mate. Do you not fancy a Speedmaster or an America? The Bonneville & the Thunderbird are completely different bikes really to compare but both very good machines in their own right.

    Welcome to the forum Davem. As Pig said they're two very different machines so it depends on how you intend to use them. Have you test riden either yet? In their own right they are two very good bikes and either would put a big grin on your face.

    I like the look of the American/Speed master but was thinking of more traditional. So really I can't go wrong with either the Bonneville or Thunderbird. I am leaning more to the Bonneville, mainly due to the iconic name.
