    Hi
    will mainly be lurking at the moment, gathering info to make decisions. Looking to get a Bonneville, preferably no more than a few years old.
    Been riding around on a 125 cc since I passed my DAS last September- now looking for a big bike to last me through my mid life crisis to retirement !

    Welcome in - the Bonnie was my first "big bike" - rode a Honda CBF125 for a year after the CBT and bought the Bonnie two days after I passed my test - you won't regret it!

    thanks for the welcome, hope to get my budget sorted by end of next month. Would like to stretch to a model with ABS which I gather is the more recent ones. Seen a few 2016-17 on autotrader but they still all seem to hold value well.

    You are so right MickEng, easy to ride, cool to own & a move in the right direction for someone moving up from a tiddler

    You'll find the Street Twin is one of the easiest to manoeuvre
