    I went from this:

    And now to this:

    The bottom line was I missed the T120 much more than than I'd expected to. The LT is a lovely cruiser and tourer, but for day-to-day biking it left something to be desired. The main issue was the weight, at 380Kg it's a heavy beast to push around but also I missed the manoeuvrability and filtering ability of the T120. In an ideal world I'de have both - and a Tiger too - but the Bonnie is a good compromise for an only bike in the garage.


    The one I've just bought was a 'showroom special', a brand new standard T120 with some extra items added and I was offered it for the same deal as a standard bike.

    I've ordered a screen, luggage, king & queen seat and sissy bar & backrest to complete the package as a 2-up tourer and will be picking it up in a fortnight.


    Can't wait!

    You did a good deal on that one, there's a fair few hundred pounds of extras on it already. Enjoy the new bike

    Yes, 'lost too'. Got to be a private one surely?

    It is a private plate, a reflection of my (lack of) navigation skills!

    Very similar!

    Just replaced the cat with an X-pipe and swapped over to a taller screen...

    Lovely looking bonnie, pity you had to let the LT go, as it is an awesome touring machine. Good luck with your new ride...

    Let us know what you think now you've removed the cat, which X pipe did you use?

    I've removed the cat and replaced it with the TEC one. The bike feels smoother on the throttle and sounds a lot better too, deeper but not overly loud.
