My buddy 'Wildplum' had a 2013 Bonny T140 Thruxton, lovely bike, but could not keep with my 2003 FZS 600, not on acceleration or top speed.
The handling of the Bonny was pretty amazing though.
The picture below is not Wildplum's Bonny but exactly the same model and colour scheme, cracking looking bike (If you like naked bikes)
If your looking for a quicker bike that an unrestricted FZS 600 the Bonny is not the way to go.
Foxeye Fazer FZS 600:
Maximum Power 93.7bhp / 61kW @ 9.500rpm
Maximum Torque 61Nm / 45ft lbs @ 9.500rpm
Top Speed 133-139mph Depending on who you believe
0-60mph in 3.8 seconds
2013 T140 Truxton Bonniville 900:Top Speed 126-132mph Depending on who you believe
Maximum Power 68bhp / 51kW @ 7400rpm Maximum Torque 69Nm / 51ft.lbs @ 5800rpm
0-60mph in 5 seconds.
The FZS 600 overall performs better, the T140 has a lot of grunt and is a beautiful looking machine, but I think the FZS 600 in any of its guises is a cracking looking retro machine and definitely make its owners smile, I still have my FZS 600, Wildplum sold his Thruxton.
Both nice bikes, this is the Fazer I own It's the "00 model I've never ridden an unrestricted version so the anticipation of getting my DAS and de-restricting it is killing me
*Edit: I don't wan't to swap it for anything slower
