It looks a lot like the old 650 Bonneville my friend had years ago.

Take one for a ride to make sure you like the riding position.
I had an old 650 Bonneville, that felt a little like riding an ironing board with handlebars.:D
I kinda miss resetting the points and adjusting the carbs once a week.;)

Tell me about it. My KZ900 had 4 carbs and duel pionts. What a nightmare to keep it running right. It would go like h.ll though (in a straight line).

That's a nice retro ride for sure. I do wish they would update (or have an option) for standard 17" front and rear rims on these bikes so one could use more common sport bike tires.

Too cool. Takes me back to the old days of Friday night swaps when my buddy would ask to trade his 650 Bonneville for my car so he could take his girlfriend out on a date. It was a blast to ride but quite like riding a jitterbug. I'd be buzzing all over after getting off of it!

Hopefully these new retro ones have an upgraded suspension and engine mounts. Good luck and hope you are successful with finding a deal. ;)

that's what is so cool about it's "old school" looks.

I had a pristine 1980 KZ1000 I wish I had kept,
but what's really cool about this Triumph is that it's fuel injected yet they made the carbs look like old school float bowl carbs.

also,I should not have gone and looked at one :( :D:eek:
