Best Bonnie ever?

All this arguafying is because the thread is comparing apples and oranges. Hinckley B onnie and Meriden Bonnie are plain different things. Like asking which is the best Thunderbolt and then arguing whether the BSA or Buell is " better" . They just happen to have the same name ( and in Triumphs case, some cosmetic gestures).

The demographics each was aimed at are totally different. Hinckley, elderly born again wanting a easy riding no hassles bike for weekend excursions to a local cafe. Meriden was aimed at the young hoon wanting a socially irresponsible speed machine for unsafe fanging round the North Circular. It's inevitable that the design briefs will be quite different. And the person who likes one won't like the other. I prefer Meriden myself but that's just me. One day when I'm old I'll probably change my mind

Psst... You are old...

Now if Triumph could ditch the lardy looks and build something cool like this.... (scanned from a classic bike mag)

Sigh... but they wont...

Nup! That's why you have to do it yourself. Good news is that you now have a reliable modern engine to put in it!

Because of Governments, statutes and the majority of consumer's desire for practical, utility vehicles.
