Don't buy the 1050 Tiger. If you do that you will think that your Bonneville lost a cylinder when you ride it again. Them things haul the mail. And they tour well too.

I have highway bars on my V-Strom.  When droning on a long straight, it helps greatly to be able to switch feet position.  There is probably a highway peg available for a Bonneville.  If not, I wouldn't think it would be too difficult to make some using a set of pegs and a little ingenuity. 

I love my Thruxton and wouldn't dream of parting with it.  That being said, it's the reason I have a V-Strom.  The adventure market is gaining popularity for a reason.  Neutral riding position and fuel capacity that allow you to gobble up the freeway miles, the power and clearance to have lots of fun in the twisties, touring features like a windshield and luggage, and varying degrees of off-road worthiness.  The Tiger 800 is a great choice.  A used 1050 Tiger is a sportier option.
