aceuggy 0 Posted September 29, 2012 Decided I wanted a more relaxed ride, so I have traded my Street Triple in for a 2010 Bonneville SE. First impressions are very good, it's fun to ride, goes and handles surprisingly well. Apologies for the rather crappy pic, it was taken with my phone.

Macie_UK 0 Posted September 29, 2012 Nice choice fella There are times I think that I'd like a bike in that style, but unless they do one with no chrome it would just be a waste as I don't suffer the same cleaning fetishes as some around here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldfart 0 Posted September 29, 2012 Nice bike. Borrowed one when my ST went in for service. Surprisingly spritely for its size. Enjoyed it. Fancy a Thruxton but the riding style is a bit severe for us oldies!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GHRCanada 0 Posted September 29, 2012 Great bike. I worked for a Bike dealer here in Canada and we sold Triumph. Got to ride lots of them and they are great bikes. That one is lots of fun.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I prefer the cafe racer look of the Thruxton, but as you said I found the riding position too uncomfortable, whereas the Bonnie is nice and relaxed. I will probably cafe racer it up a bit over time.

I will probably cafe racer it up a bit over time.Bought a thruxton a few weeks back, cracking bike, bit more poke than the Bonneville but the position takes a bit of getting used to. They dont half shift though when you wind back that throttle!! you got standard cans still? if you want some others i got a set of Triumph Off Road cans for sale Yours has the 17" wheels front and back, how does that compare to the 19" on the thruxton?
