I'm sure the new 1200 Bonneville engine will be much improved. (only took Triumph 10 years to do it) But original engine was so uninspiring that the other journos at the international intro were laughing out loud at the bike. Not in a friendly way. Yet ... when ALL their reviews came out ... all was Roses ... and all forgiven and rationalized away. I panned the bike in my review.
I thought the CB500X had a bit more HP than the DR650, which is 35 HP in stock form. Some good deals can be had on "leftover" CB's from '14 and '15. Way below $7500. Check it out.
