Bonneville Or T100?
We had the chance to ride the T100 briefly, and by comparison to the Bonneville, it feels like a bigger bike, though the only non-aesthetic differences are larger, heavier wheels and ergonomics. But with these two differences, a more spread-out cockpit (though only by a little bit), larger grips, and increases steering effort make it a bike you have to more firmly push into a corner. Sound from the peashooter mufflers is a little more throaty than the megaphones on the Bonny. Personally at 6-foot-nothing, 190 lbs, I'd prefer the T100's ergs with the Bonny's handling.
