Featured Bonnie T120 Now Almost Gone

Well people i have struct a deal with Bulldog who gave me a great deal my t120 for the bonnie spirit of 59 model. Pick it up next week some time. I just could not get on with the 1200 and don't know why as you couln'd ask for a better machine

Yes they are taking it into the workshop today to get it ready and have ordered the centre stand so they said with the work load it would probably the later half of next week. Yes it is a one of 59 limited number in recognition of the 59 Bonnies they also have a 1200 version similar numbers. As for my 1200 I can't put my finger on what it was but I did not get on with the bike even though it was faultless and could cruise all day comfortably but I was just leaving it sitting in the garage and using my 865. And to give a big credit to my Darling other half. She said if you are not happy with the 1200 don't just leave it there get something you will like. And now the big one she paid the difference for me as a gift she has done similar before but I thought that as I used to keep on about the 1200 she would be getting tired of the same / same old but no it was all her own words. Might have to ask her again to Marry me. The pic's and news will all come as I get used to the bike. And of course a big thankyou to Bulldog who went all the way to make me happy with the deal especially Jason on this occasion.

I was just thinking that. But the other saying spoilt Brat keeps popping into my head.

Exactly the same with me can not give a valid reason just did not gel with the bike.

I will second that. The T100 just feels right and as close to the T140 as you will get.

As different as chalk and cheese in my humble opinion. I found the 12 lazy and hallow sounding. Great touring bike. but this 900 t100 alough early days just motors along even with standard pipe setup sounds good no up and down the gear box. The bike is exiting. This is just my opinion and i am not slating any of the bike its just how i felt personally but riders love both.

Thanks everyone. and I agree with all these comments I found the 1200 similar to my Harley and it sounded hallow even decated and around town it was up and down the gears all the time. Did see a black scrambler at Bulldog when I was picking this one up it had higher bars and looked really nice I was tempted indeed. But this 59er really pleases me and rides terrifically. But I wouldn't trade my 865 for anything as it is as close to the t140 I have seen and heard or even ridden.
