  1. So which bike do you think I should buy, a new Bonnie or a W650 Kwaca?....

    Motorworks has a Bonnie ex demo on the floor ready to go. Just over $14,000

    There was a few two wheels articles on these bikes .. can't remember the
    outcome, but both seemed not bad for what they are. I'd look at engine
    servicing costs, reliability, initial purchase price and fitment of goodies
    as a good indicator.

    remembering reading a review in some mag and they concluded that

    the trump felt like a brand new bonnie

    while the kwaka felt like a restored 60's bonnie

    both are kinda cool , the kwaka is lots cheaper , the bonnie imho seems
    somewhat expensive for what it is ???

    the thruxton looks cool , but again seems somewhat expensive for what it is

    there a german site floating around (no smee not THAT sort of site)
    dedicated to doing up w650 into cafe racers, scamblers , old style racer
    bikes....looks quite cool

    TW preferred the W650, saying it looked and felt closer to the original
    bikes of that era. They gave both a few thumbs up though.

    Hmm.... of the two you mention, I think you'll find the Blackbird is the one
    for you.

    Happy to help. :)

    Yeah - I agree - whatever bike you have, you should also have a ct110 :)
    The only problem is that it will attract more interest from friends
    who aren't into bikes than your real bike!

    The W650 leaked oil and came with Lucas electrics?
