I have ridden 36 hours straight, commuted endlessly, ridden on gravel, done the dragon and the Blue Ridge and I would leave for California tomorrow had I the time. The back brake is fine. I have yet to change a light bulb or a spoke. I have no heat problems or plans to sell or change. everything else is rumor or innuendo. buy with confidence. or not, as you wish. I will still be riding my unnamed reliable perfectly set up ratty bonneville. best bike I've owned since 1970.

I didn't have it very long, but it was every bit as agile as the Picky Bitch (my 883, which I still miss!) and could go farther. I have a beautiful bike now - Kitten is a Super Glide Custom - but if I could go BACK I'd go back to the 1200. Ride what you love, sweetie - you spend far too much time in the saddle to compromise!

I had the pleasure of buying a used one and sadly it didn't live up to my expectations. What was perfect for someone else was not perfect for my 5'7" frame. I tell you that baby cornered like it was on rails though. I loved the motor.<br /><br />Here are posts I did on it.<br /><br />The purchase: http://trobairitztablet.blogspot.com/2012/05/careful-what-you-wish-for.html<br /><br />Some issues: http://trobairitztablet.blogspot.com/2012/05/and-then.html<br /><br />The Verdict: http://trobairitztablet.blogspot.com/2012/05/to-be-or-not-to-be.html<br /><br />Hope this helps a little bit. Hubby said I rode faster on that thing than any other bike. It just like corners and is well planted too.

So, I've read a hell of a lot about it. The most consistent complaint I've heard is that the rear brake is a little quick to lock up. Because of that, I am waiting until 2016, when ABS becomes required over here. As soon as that day comes, I'm buying a Bonneville.<br /><br />You are right that the Bonneville can be adapted to a fair range of use. One of the most influential things I've seen, a video that MADE me need to ride, is this one, featuring a Bonneville: http://youtu.be/K1eSDYRTk_w<br /><br />There are countless aftermarket items that can be tacked onto the Bonneville, so you can very much transform it into whatever you need it to be. I totally understand your love and I hope you end up following it through.Chris Copehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802450324154596848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036212943721143157.post-21137977736137120812014-01-29T11:03:20.078-08:002014-01-29T11:03:20.078-08:00The Bonnie is a great bike, smooth and handles lik...The Bonnie is a great bike, smooth and handles like its on rails, and of course its Iconic. Have had 3 so far, a scrambler, a standard bonnie and a speedmaster. had no problems with them apart from wanting to ride them too often.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09431638517517425211noreply@blogger.com
