The original question was wrt a close friend considering a new bike - now it’s me.
The Griso (1280cc Moto Guzzi), at 270Kg is just getting too big, and I’m thinking of downsizing it. I briefly looked at the NC750X, but now learn Honda / Oz no longer imports them; ie n/a. Today I looked at the CB500X, and came away unimpressed - it seemed a bit wee, and lacked presence somehow.

Anyways, anyone here own a late model Bonneville T100? - certainly it feels right to sit on, exudes quality, and for me, would be something different. Happy to hear any recommendations; am 5’8”; 82Kg, fairly sedate rider, and just want something easy to ride / home maintain / comfortable, but also with a bit of interest / quirkyness.

Ta. Simon (have really enjoy the Griso 😢)

Never ridden one myself but a friend of mine borrowed one when his other Triumph was  being serviced. He has owned all sorts of bikes and he was extremely impressed. Lovely motor very relaxed ride...

K2-K6:
Dependant on age/availability/interest etc, the first iteration of Ducati Monster is an absolute peach of a bike. The aircooled one, bicycle like to sit on and push around/ride, just a great engine character with very eager torque, no great outright horse power but not the point really.

A fabulous ride and design classic. Perhaps a consideration.

I’ve ridden most of the Bonneville variants over the years.

My favourite was the 1200 T120.
The 900 felt a bit underpowered.
The Bobber was fun but hardly practical.
