[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 6947, member: 4034"] [b]Bonnevilles[/b] Given that the Harley v-Rod is actually designed by Porche, and that the Harley ohc vee-four, yes, ohc vee-four, of 1980, was also designed by Porche, why wouldn't Bloor go outside Britain to have a bike designed? It's accessories industry died 30 years ago when the industry went belly-up. New Bonnevilles are hugely popular, particularly with olders rider who want the performance of their youth without constant maintenance. A friend, who owns a Vin Twin and a Comet, AND a Triumph 3 cylinder megabike (the 2.1 or whatever behemoth) and an Indian Chief, and various Harleys, confesses, shamefacedly, that of all his bikes, he [B]enjoys[/B] the Bonneville most. If a modern Bonnie no longer does 120 mph, no problem. He's no longer interested in doing 120 mph. It's adequate, and still has the looks that Turner gave it in the first place. A little overweight now, perhaps - but aren't we all? [/QUOTE]
