I test rode a Bonneville a couple years ago, like many here I thought it was underpowered for a 865. However it was a beautiful bike, I loved the green and white color combination. I would have bought it, if the price would have been reasonable. The dealer would not budge on the price. I passed it up while keeping a eye out for a used one. I'll say this for the Bonneville T120, they do hold their value!
However this isn't the 60's when all dealers got MSRP. I have to admit, I probably couldn't justify paying 10 grand for a CB either. However when you could get a new one in the 7 thousand range, I just couldn't pass it up. At the price dealers are selling leftover 13's and 14's the CB is probably the best value in the motorcycle industry right now. You are getting one of the best built motorcycles for a bargain price.
