I have an acquaintance with same thrill factor you seem to seek, and he test road the regular 1200 Bonnie with the intention of buying it and was sorely disappointed, really low power, and poor fueling he said. Bought a Yamaha XRS900 instead, and so far is loving it. Traded in his Triumph Street Triple.
Yes, I wouldn'tt buy a Bonnie for 'thrills' but the reviews for the bike are consistently good. The XSR gets great reviews, save for fueling and suspension. I prefer the Triumph brand overall, hope to see them come out with an 800 cc triple soon, and it would be great to do a retro 3 cylinder along the lines of the old Thunderbird Sport.
I'm determining whether to keep the CB after a few weeks with the Thrux. The CB's resale is such crap that it's probably worth keeping and doing some customizing.
