Title: Hello
Post by: vonny232 on Saturday, 07 July 2018, 04:21 AM
Hi folks.

I have recently sold my previous bike (A Triumph Bonneville) and fancied something a bit bigger and faster (though still naked/retro style).

Originally I wanted an XJR1300 but I decided to look for a GSX instead.

Im in the process of looking for one. Hopefully have a nice clean black version within a month.

Gonna spend a bit on modifying the bike as well, so may have some questions on this forum.

Cheers!

I do like the latest T120 Bonneville's, mate of mine has a 2016 T120 1200, amazing that they can look retro, yet be fuel injected and water cooled - you have to look closely to see how Triumph achieved that, whilst retaining the retro looks. Great bike to ride, ok not the fastest by any means, but great fun. Mate of mine who has one came down to the Alps with us on his, didn't disgrace itself one bit, respect!!!

Yep those were the same bikes I was choosing between. I got the GSX and am very happy I did !
And it's black! (mostly)  :)

Glad I ended up here, the people on this forum are great, you'll be welcome here and will find plenty of helpful stuff when it comes to mods that's for sure.

One thing we bikers are good at is spending money on our bikes... :D
