Spied - 2016 Bonneville????

Water cooled, goodness added.

http://www.cycleworld.com/2014/12/18...le-spy-photos/

The Bonnie has been on my project list, as a canvas to modify the crap out of into something personal. Hmmm but that new one has goodies - wheels, suspenders ......

Still it may be a $20 k machine in Zeeland. So wayyy out of Mr B's budget.

Maybe the existing market will drop in price

........

Still as every family man knows - if you ever get the nod to buy anything - do it there and then, do not wait.

I'm going to have to print that phrase out and frame it.

I know! I was gutted when the Thruxton arrived that is was not a hot-rod engine Bonnie.

Now I may be in the year where if the stars align, insurance company willing, real estate market favorable, I may, just be able to buy a second bike to 'fiddle' with!

Good god - 1200ccs(?) of sexiness!

Although - those are not really 'spy photos' are they? All too hi-resolution and well composed methinks.

Even popping a mono - plus the prototypes they do not want you to see as they develop them usually have tape and all type of shit obscuring the actual form.

Probably slowly being released by Triumph to gain public interest to boost pre-sales. Good marketing - free and worldwide :-)

I know this is KB, but man that is just mean! And a Hyo-bag can't pop a mono.......

I like! Especially like the Ohlins/Brembo combination on the R. It looks like the bike could have alloy rims which would be nice, if about six decades late. And if those wheels take 120/70 and 180/55 tyres a full selection of the latest and greatest rubber would be available which would be a big improvement.
