Theres NEVER been anything wrong with a Bonneville.

A major good thing. Something you'll enjoy. Insurance is cheap and go's for a year. None of that every 6 months like with a car.
Insurance runs me $100 for 365 days. Minimum coverage. I think full was something like $350 for a year
On the 650 I ride. Dogging it and generally not caring about how much gas it's using. I can't get it to go below 31mpg.
Can someone explain to me how a 900 cc motor only has 55hp? It sounds rather small? Forgive my ignorance lol

55hp?
That suuuucks.
The CB1100 is a close match to the Triumph.
The retros are cool. Classic style of bike with the latest technology.
Is this a 1979 or 2017(?)

Look at the t120. I hope that motorcycle forum sends members to TGT like y'all are doing here. I'd hate for it to be a one way street.
Then there will be a time you need to haul some a$$. Merging onto the highway with semi-trucks everywhere. It makes a difference. Want to pass three cars that are doing 80-85mph? Getting away from that driver on the phone? Escaping dog packs and the occasional tail gater?
Go with the "refinement"
55 HP is more than enough, look at the RPM range - this is for riding around town, and quite suited. I put a lot of miles on old Kawasaki KZ750B models which are also 55 HP - but at 7K RPM - and never had any issue.
When the hell did they come out with that thing? I've ridden the old CB1100s a bit, and just recently threw out the ancient color-matching black/grey helmet my father bought back in the '80s.
Y'all are making me want to ride again!
