    Bonneville T120? Better suspension/steering? Certainly NOT more power; above 80 (where allowed) can't hang on, not useable, and not the point. The current engine is a beauty.
    Less weight might be nice? Adjustable riding position (handlebars/pegs?) would be great.

    I’d love to see a reworked Speedmaster or an “America” version. Tubeless wheels, a bit bigger overall, better seat, more touring focus.

    Tubeless wheels should be standard on everything in this day and age! It's not like they have to be alloy either, plenty of spoked tubeless rims about now.

    I would not have a road bike with tubeless tyres. I got the fear back on my wee 125 in the 90's!

    Bigger tank on the bobber - IS this just a reworked Speedmaster tank?

    Surely tubeless are safer, coupleof years ago i had a puncture in a tubeless tyre which gave me some warning, years ago had one in a tubed rear tyre and think I am lucky to be here today.

    Plus you can fix a tubeless at the side of the road

    Yes that wee compressor was brilliant! I've since got myself one. I usually carry the wee CO2 bottles, used them on a mates bike once. They're good to about 20psi which is enough to get you to a service station.

    Hello, I'm a fud, pleased to meet you. Ignore me. I meant tubed are nasty. :pensive:

    I got a wee compressor for my crimbo (sounds like a MG42, slightly less recoil) for the big bike (tourer) and a couple of packs of "Tyre Doctor" repair kits. Still to find a nook or a crannie on the Speed Twin to stash one of the repair bags.
