2016 Bonneville spy shots

[zrxkawboy]

For those who have seen the spy shots of (what is thought to be) the '16 Bonneville, what do you think of it? If you search something like "liquid cooled Bonneville", you should find the pics easily. Here is one page:

I saw the title and thought Pontiac was making a come back. Good looking bike though.

I like it. Doesn't look much different to the current one. Glad they've changed the tyre sizes to something a little more modern. ABS is a nice addition too. I wish they'd stop with "injection that looks like carbs" rubbish though! In 2015, I think it's ok to have injection on a retro bike, no need to pretend it has carbs.

The eyebrow is back.

The radiator kills the retro looks for me. I think I will just spend the money and buy a big bore/stroker engine from Bonneville Performance instead of "upgrading".

If Honda can make an air/oil cooled 1100, then Triumph should be able to also.

i am very pleased with my 2012 mag wheeled bonnie for a list of $7700 back then. that said better suspension + brakes are always welcome, stock it shamed my poor 2006 sportsters very poor brakes + suspension. the bonnie handles well + is very easy to ride unlike the top heavy sportster. water cooling i can do without, abs i never had but its said to help panic stops especially in the wet if its well sorted.

The Triumphs are a bike that are just good all around bikes. They don't do anything exceedingly well, but they don't seem to have any particularly nasty qualities either.

My 2011 Speedmaster is a great bike. I can echo that upgraded shocks would be nice.

To me the Bonnie lives or dies on the retro look and having a big radiator between the header pipes just does not look right on a parallel twin of Brit origin.
