    Yep, another noobie to your forum. Here to get more information to decide to pull the trigger on a new T120 or Speedmaster. Started out on a Kawasaki and added a Harley. Currently down to a 2015 Harley Road Glide which I love, but want another bike that is smaller, nimbler for the city and short rides. If I decide to get a 2nd bike again, the Bonneville, Speedmaster are on the short list.

    Great bikes and welcome to the Family here. You do know the inmates will expect a picture. Helps nursey administrating the meds. The Bonnie's are great machines. I myself prefer the 900 to the 1200. But that's just me.

    Thanks, Joe. Why the 900 over the 1200? Dual discs, LEDs, etc have me looking at the 1200s, but I am open.

    I had a 1200 didn't like it atall. Motorway it was good. Town work was useless up and down the box all the time. It sounded hallow even with the Xbox and cans. It didn't steer well seemed to drift in quick corners. But maybe that was just me people love them. And for the speed I do these days single disc is ample.
    Ride Safe
    Joe.

    Hi Zink and welcome ! Have you looked at the 765 or even the older 675 street triples ? Brilliant for commuting and very nimble.

    Many years ago after getting my license, the first test ride of a motorbike for me was a Triumph Thunderbird with the triple.

    My other bike is the black one. Thinking the green and White Bonnie, but still open. Trying to add pics, but have been unsuccessful. Ugh! 2017.04.17 side after sissybar CROP.jpg
