My new bike

[Ken Valkyrie]

To all my ST er's,
I picked up my new 2023 Triumph Bonneville T120 (Saturday May 27,2023)
It's no ST300 but it is lighter, weighs 520 lbs. Traded in the ST for weak money with 77,000+ miles.
I only had routine maintenance on my ST for the 77k miles. It would have been my last bike if not for the weight (now that I'm 80).
The Bonneville handles very good and rides good and good two up. So far so good (with only 248 miles on it)

Congrats. I'm also 80 y.o., I did some similar more than a year ago, I bought a Honda Shadow Spirit 1100cc.
It is also 520 pounds and it has a lower seat, but I had not been able to get rid of the St., Every time I ride it, I fall in love again.
Now the Shadow is like a mistress bike.
Enjoy it.
P.B.

My second one in this country was a 1998 model. A year and a half ago I found a 2007 with only 4,000 miles. I bought it.

@Ken Valkyrie congrats on the new bike! I love the 2 tone & the retro look.

Ken, I rode one at my local dealer. The T120 is a very nice bike. Much faster than I would have thought. I really like my two Triumph’s.
