    Good afternoon!

    I am Florian, 47, from Wiesbaden in Germany.
    I just recently made my motorcycle license and after doing a test ride ordered a Bonneville T120.
    Now the waiting time starts - despite the fact that riding in German winter is not a pleasure I am sure latest in the end of Feb / beginning of March I will desperately be waiting for the bike to arrive - it should be at the dealers in April.

    Looking forward to good times and great inputs here.


    Best regards,


    Florian

    Florian, welcome from Indiana, USA; bought my 2023 T120 Bonneville in October off the dealer floor; dealer was 50 miles away, so hauled it home in my pickup; haven't been able to ride it much (only 150 miles) due to the cold weather; one hell of a rocket; becomes a beast in 3rd gear and 30mph.

    I'm sure the wait will be well worthwhile and you'll have a wonderful summer!

    ....and as I knew before: now it is mid of March and I am waiting desperately.
    Last guess from the dealer was around April, 16th - I'll keep you posted.
