It's great.
No tinkering, no leaks, no searching for parts.
Reliable as a Honda, without being soulless/boring. And I am not knocking Honda at all. My first bike was a Honda, never a problem, but totally forgettable.
The new Bonneville is a good handling machine and is easily accessible to beginners and satisfying for experienced riders too.
It wont set the world on fire speed wise, but it's fast enough for me now a days. I've got nothing to prove to anyone but myself so going 100mph+ is just, well, stupid on the public highway. I still enjoy showing my replica Lucas tail light to Harleys in the twisty bits though...
