Budget for the termi kit (cans, air filter and ECU if you want it to run correctly), budget for suspension to replace the utter dodo that the bike comes with. If you can get past this, plus never feel the need to see the battery, it will serve you well.

Not that I'm bitter.....

Actually, if the bike had been better I wouldn't have moved on to own the KTM Superduke I have now - and that would have been the real tragedy :mrgreen:
Don't forget the swelling tanks.

Currently, the Guzzi V7, Triumph Thruxton, and Bonnie (presumably referring to the Triumph Bonneville) are indeed popular choices in the classic and retro motorcycle segment. All three bikes offer their unique blend of style, performance, and heritage.

As for the possibility of Honda bringing back a new version of an old bike, it's challenging to predict the future plans of motorcycle manufacturers. However, Honda has a rich history and a strong lineup of classic motorcycles, so it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility.

Honda has been known to introduce modern interpretations of their classic models, such as the Honda CB1100 and the recent Honda Monkey, which pay homage to their iconic predecessors. These bikes capture the essence of the originals while incorporating modern technology and performance.

While there's no concrete information about Honda reviving a particular model at the moment, it's always worth keeping an eye on motorcycle news and updates from Honda. Manufacturers often surprise us with new releases and updates, so who knows what the future holds!

In the meantime, the Guzzi V7, Triumph Thruxton, and Bonnie are all fantastic choices, each with its own character and charm. Take the time to test ride them, explore their features, and see which one resonates with your riding style and preferences.

Happy riding and here's hoping for exciting new releases in the classic bike segment, whatever they may be!

Ride on!
