I got to ride the reinvented Bonneville back in 2001. I rode it side by side with a bone stock perfectly maintained 1975 Bonneville. The new bike struck me as far more useful than the old one. The old one was far more captivating. I did not want to get off. The friend that gave me the experience still has the 1975. The new bike is a 1200 Bonneville T120 now.
I've enjoyed the use of the RE Interceptor for an entire weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great bike. My XS650s are good runners. I don't see the need for the RE in the stable at this point. Operationally, I don't see much to gain over the old bike, other than the obvious technological advances.
