Not every bike needs to be a super sports, full faired, crotch rocket. The Bonneville is a Modern Classic Bike.. and yes as rightly pointed out it is styled like the bikes from the 1940-60's. In developed nations where you have all the latest models, a modern classic bike like the Bonneville stands apart in a crowd.Originally posted by j4zb4 View PostI could never understand (still can't) whats so special about that bike... To me it looks like a design from yesteryear... Probably world war I...
Such a bike also probably shows one's mature taste in bikes. Our own Royal Enfield Classic has been a big hit in India. Not every body wants to ride a Super Sports crotch rocket.

will have to wait and watch..Originally posted by aargee View PostIf the vehicle is manufactured in Thailand, do not forget the FTA which should ease up the complications.
They apparently haven't decided whether to import to go ahead with CKD operations... They do plan to have dealerships up and running by next year though...

Sorry to aggravate you bro... I didn't mean to say that everybody has to like and want a supersports crotch rocket...
