RE: Triumph Bonnevilles? Show 'em off!
#25
Headers in front of the oil filter is a non-starter. What we got is better.

Fenders, the old bikes had proper fenders, now the stylists have taken over and we have to buy fender extenders to protect the engine and headers. Not just Honda, everyone seems to be doing it.

While retro inline fours are cool (and Indian should to a inline 4 to match the old Indian), I'd like to see a redo of the GB500 with the 650 motor.

I'd love to see a redo of the old CB450 twin too. Today all the bikes (in the US) are just too darn big in the engine department. My personal pet peeve is that seats are way too low. Do mostly short people or inseam challenged folks buy motorcycles? A proper seat would be nice.
