How about a Thruxton with Bonnie bars,
the Scrambler'
A W650 with an aluminium tank (W650 Shop),
or a Guzzi V7 Classic?

Sorry to dredge up an old thread but my wife and I stopped at a Triumph dealer last week to look at gloves. I wasn't looking at bikes, really.

But the Bonneville SE caught my eye and I couldn't stop looking. Both the orange & cream or the blue & cream looked great. The sales guy wanted me to take a test drive, my wife did too (shes awesome). But I passed because I knew I'd probably ride it home.

Its probably my next bike, next year, unless something similar catches my eye. I just didn't care for the seat.
I'm also liking the new Suzuki TU250X (Bonneville look a like). They just need to put at least twice the motor in it for me.

LOL. Your story reminds me of when my wife and I go to the SoCal beaches. "I'm really just looking at the sand and waves, honey. Honest. Bikini Babes? I didn't even notice them, and no, I don't want to take one home."

LOL, my wife and I also ride bicycles together. And I'll get the stink eye for looking at the other girls on their bikes. "Hey, I was just checking out her bike, really!"

Yep, seem like good people. I like a family run business.
