Guy buys modern Triumph Bonneville based on good looks and accolades everywhere. Guy finds it good, but not perfect. Guy makes video with Australian humor. Hilarity ensues. Watch it here.

Ooops, sorry. YouTube links sometimes baffle me.

Definitely a good chuckle. I would also end up hating that berkeleying bracket in the middle of the bike under the tank.

I love the "The seat height is relatively low to benifit short riders......or tall asians" comment.

That was pretty funny.

Repost time: It reminds me of the Triumph Rocket III manufacture "documentary" (less informational, but funny)

Sounds like the perfect bike for a previous KLR'r.

I kind of hoped, but I fear the ergos may favor a guy with height disadvantages and possible brain damage.

They are the perfect looking motorcycle to my eye, but not as practical or comfortable as the WeeStrom I have now. I'd have to have it as a second bike, and they are too non-GRM priced at present to add one to the stable.

Hey, I'll have you know I'm fully grown! My legs reach all the way from my ass to the ground. Especially when I sit on a Harley!

I did sit on the Bonneville at the MC show last year, I thought the seat was remarkably uncomfortable. These days, I want my tushie pampered and gently cuddled when I ride. S&M I reserve for, um, being ridden!
