Honda really is missing the mark lately.
Why because it doesn't have Buell or HD on the side?

You have to follow success and you have to admit, HD has had a little success in the cruiser market.

The Bonnie/Thruxton/Speedmaster platform is one of the sweetest "old school" packages around; low, comfy, torquey, sweet riding, sweet handling, easy to work on, easy on the eyes and stone-axe reliable. I had a devil of a time letting go of mine............but money is money

I've entertained the notion of getting a Thruxton many times over the last few years; before the Warrior, and before the Buell fire sale.
I just never pulled the trigger and my interest got hijacked elsewhere.

That new Bonnie looks great to me, but I love retro/standards.
I'm not sure I'm comfortable with them straying too far from the classic look, but if it keeps their sales numbers up so they don't go under, I guess I'll deal.
