Re: [emrat:3106] Thunderbird or not

I went from a '76 Bonnie to a Rocket III and then to a '12 Bonnie. The Bonnie is much easier to handle and the upright riding position is what makes the Bonnie great (not to mention the retro cool factor). There are plenty of mods to make the Bonnie faster and more comfortable at higher speeds. Stick with what works for you!

I wish that I could have both. I was thinking of when my wife rides, the comfort of the tbird. I like the tbird look, sound, and low end torque. I just don't want to regret not having my bonneville se. I do like the 6 speed on the tbird for highway riding. My bonneville runs around 5000 rpm when going 85 mph. I guess that is fine since the redline is 8000 rpm. What is a 2012 bonneville se worth? Thanks for your input with this.

Thunderbird handles well but is a completely different bike. The bonneville is much more nimble and has better clearance in the twisties. The thunderbird is the best handling cruiser I have ridden. As for tge power, it has been debated on trat whether the tbird is any faster than the bonneville. The tbird has a significant amount of weight when compared the bonneville.

The obvious decision would be to keep the bonneville and buy the tbird.
