    Hi,

    MikeyRides46 here! I am about (next 24hrs) buy my first Bonnie having been searching for the right one for 6 months.
    I have ridden quite a few (including the speed twin, street twin) but for me the 865 engine hits the mark -360 firing order. So a nice 2015 T100 in black looms!

    I did not realise that the T100 spoked front wheel is 19" dia compared with the 18" mag wheel i had on a Bonnie SE i hired. Hopefully this wont feel odd.

    A bit about me.

    Riding since I was 17, have had a selection of bikes (like we all have). My current bike is a 1984 Yamaha RD350 YPVS -can i mention Japaneeze here....
    I can be seen riding Kent, East Sussex, often down at Rye or up in Biggin Hill - of course I will be drinking tea sundays at the cafe opposite Brands Hatch.

    Hi Mate & Welcome to the Forum :cool:.

    I seem to get away with mentioning my Japanese bike rather a lot, and haven't been hounded out of Dodge just yet. :eek:

    Welcome to the family. Do drop us all a picture of the RD. And they are a great machine and well worth a mention in any forum. Also let us all know what you get. I would have though coming from RD you would want a 675 or 765 to stay in the rocket ship club. The Bonnie being a terrific bike is not in the RD field.
    Regards & Ride Safe.
    Joe.
