The problem with the Bonnie, lovely though it is, is that it might not hit the spot in the performance stakes. Right then, Speed Triple it would be :-)
Word for word what I was thinking, but replace Bonneville with Thunderbird. It's mainly cruisers that got me into biking in the first place. That is, until my direct access course showed me how well Bandits can handle.

I absolutely love the new Yamaha XV950, but 52bhp, WTF? Why is it that cruisers are so underpowered for their size?
Anyway, I was originally looking at Speed Fours until I saw my Fazer at a dealers (best decision ever!), so if I couldn't have a Fazer and money wasn't a problem, then I'd go for a new Speed Triple R.
