the japanese bonneville, never owned one but I would if one came my way at right money. I personally dont rate any of the other XS models but the 650 is known for being a tough little motor, Tony Halco used to bore and stroke these things up to 1040cc  |

I had one similar spec mine was a 650 Custom.I bought it intending to make it into a flat tracker😁 little thought given to purchase I bought it at a good price but fitting wire wheels was an issue with the rear disc etc. so just stuck it in garage never riding it and sold it few years later.Always fancied one,and Triumph should have bought the engines off Yamaha to bung in their Bonnevilles.Percy Tait a well known Meriden test rider and later works racer was employed by Yamaha to sort the handling out on latest models.Only picture I have of mine it had a fresh paint job on it mimicking a Bonneville 😎  |
