Didn't really know where to put this. I've been hitting dealers and doing research, looking for the perfect new or used bike, preferably a newer T-100 or T-120 or ?
I was looking at the 2022 models and the T-120 felt like I was sitting on a pig compared to my relatively svelte '72 Tiger (387 dry). I'm loving my 5-spd Tiger but I need something that will be reliable for extended trips (It has been trouble free for 2 years but I don't trust it out in the middle of the Mojave Etc.).
My question is this: Was there a (modern) year Bonneville that is lighter? Is there a year bike that is known to be better than others in terms of performance and reliability and also doesn't weigh 500+Lbs? I don't mind carbs, I've never had F.I. Thanks! -BA
