I had a test ride on a T100 and loved it but then my sensible side made me get a Honda NT700 Deauville instead. Loads more weather protection and some carrying capacity for all the rubbish I cart along with me. :¬|

Great info shared guys. I ride with a bunch of triumphs, all sizes and ages. I was offered a Bonnie recently but laffed it off. I will now take a closer look. The path the T100 exhaust takes is pretty ordinary. The SE does hang together better. We have a 95 T-bird that I am yet to ride. I think it's too much of a stretch across the tank to the bars. What's it like on the Bonnie's?

The T100 that I had rented isn't too bad but you do have to reach for the bars, or rather I did. I'm 5'11" with a 32" inseam.

Nice report rock-on.gif

Not ridden the modern Bonnies but did have an extended test ride on an Atlantic and that was a superb experience.

I'm interested in the nighthawk, I've got the 250, never seen the 650.

I remember Honda sold a Nighthawk 650 in the UK, it was a blue colour with chrome stickers on the tank, sidepanel and seat unit and it looked sort of.... tacky.

There is also the CB650SC Nighthawk, here is my old bike. Just sold it last year. Fantastic machine with a DOHC motor, shaft drive, self adjusting valves, much like a scooter just change the oil add gas and go.

This is the next generation over the SOHC machine that gn2 posted.

That later one was never brought to the UK which is a shame, because it has an awful lot going for it.
