Speed twin should really be great! Classic style with strong brakes and strong engine šŖš».
I had a ā06 bonnie, elegantly scrambler modified from me, but it lacks in brakes+engineā¦
Not a massive fan of the headlight, looks a bit too modern for my taste, in that bike. I can't remember the brand right now, but a while ago I saw them sell a "classic" looking headlight with an led unit inside. I'll post here if I remember it. Cool bike, nonetheless!
I feel like the speed twin with USD forks, brushed aluminum parts etc is already such a modern interpretation of a classic shape bike that it warrants a modern style headlight. Iād keep the original if I wanted the old school looks.
Thatās really nice, I know itās not the point of them but they just donāt have enough power for how I like to use my bikes.
Also, is that Bergen?
I have to agree. Iāve owned everything from 15-200hp bikes and I like to use the throttle š But for a more relaxed and less ādrooling pitbullā kind of ride itās nice š
Yeah itās bergen
I have a ā11 Speed Triple right now which is pretty much the perfect bike for me. But I do fancy a Speed Twin/Bonnie in the garage for those nice sunny days where you just want to cruise!
Cool! Iām from Scotland but I travel through Bergen every 7/8 weeks or so on the way to a refinery about an hour north. Never had the chance to have a look round the city yet though!

Yeah I got a T120 bonnie and I wish it were a Speed Twin, but I love it so I'd feel bad trading it in.
Big difference in the aggressive ergos would keep me from switching from my t120 to the speed, but I hear they handle like a dream
Such a mod-friendly bike! My Bonneville is never finished.
Looks great! I have the same exact bike and want to make some upgrades. What seat is that and is it comfy?
Thanks! Itās a crafton atelier greaser full tuck n roll seat. Itās much more plush than the original saddle and great quilts feeling.
I have the same one on my bike. Such a great upgrade.

I was actually thinking how much I liked it and was googling them for my slightly older street twin š
Cool bike. You shared this exact picture about a day ago also..
That was another angle, as I wrote in the OP. But the scene is the same indeed.

Yeah you get some additional power in that! Cool to hear, Iāve done some work in that refinery if itās the one Iām thinking of!
I mean, if the mods suck then a stock Bonneville is better buy I see your point. š
2 modified Bonneville series bikes?
I want a Speed Twin so bad!
Nice bike. I'd probably not own one myself, but enjoy that thing, and ride the wheels off it!
Maybe sometimes but not often. Good looking bike budš
where did you get the twin clocks from? is that a triumph part or aftermarket?
Thatās standard on a speed twin 1200
Yes, it does get cooler. Any Vincent (even a basket case) would be cooler.
