I test rode a new hinckley bonnie and was pleasantly surprised at how it zipped along. Not powerful for sure by modern standards( especially next to a snorting speed triple ! ) , but not sluggish either.The w800 is claime dto be more " authentic" ( lol) to the original bonnie ! Main diff seems to be silencer routing and big cam drive tunnel on 1 side. Many mags do purport it to be better than a hinckley bonnie...but TBH you dont buy bikes like these for their performance, but for how the bike makes u feel.So buy one based on such.
They are capable of touring too, so is not as mad a choice as it may seem. I know a couple with one who do the full camping / rallies thing on theirs...and they love it.
