Yes the honda has a quicker faster response due to the way its designed. And like you said two different bikes. You can also have the Bonnie converted by changing cams and profiles as well. Of course you need to have power commander and other bits done. I got a friend I work with his Bonnie will see of a lot of sports bikes from a standing start and will lift the front end of the floor.

You also need to consider the torque curve for both engines and the weight. There was an interesting article in
https://www.bikemagazine.co.uk/magazine-issues/august-2019
that compared a 1200 Speed Twin with a Speed Triple RS.

"With its spread of torque and short gearing, the Speed Twin is way more accessible - at realistic road speeds it pushes harder in every gear.

...and shorter gearing means more thrust at speeds you spend more time at. Exit a village at 40mph in 3rd gear and the Twin has much more clout available. The Triple also needs to be in 3rd to out-accelerate the Twin at 50mph in 4th."

The T100 2014 air-cooled;
Max Power 66 bhp @ 7,500 rpm
Max Torque 50 lb ft @ 5,800 rpm
Kerb Weight 224.5 kg

The CBR500R 2018;
Max Power 47 bhp @ 8500 rpm
Max Torque 31 lb ft @ 7000 rpm
Kerb Weight 194kg

I'm no expert but I'd say your Bonnie would be quicker, sounds better and is way cooler. I suppose the answer is to ride them both back to back and see which you prefer.

 

So many revs!

Or you get a Speed Twin

Max Power EC 97PS / 96bhp (72kW) @ 6,750rpm
Max Torque EC 112Nm @ 4,950 rpm

Only money. Get every little bit of happiness you can it makes sense. Someone on here quotes live the adventure before the dementia. And you know that has stuck in my mind ever since. Never a truer word spoken.

That’s perfect don’t listen to others try it and decide what you like.
Two men ride the same bike and give a totally different experience, it’s what suits the individual
