CONS: She has no windshield and there is literally no storage space at all. I tried to store a cellphone connected to internal charger and crushed the screen. literally. It has also very loud exhausts and to clean these spoked wheels from english weather, that's something. And that's about negatives. + light cover and side covers are made of plastic and the right one could be nice place to hide a pocket to store a phone, but it's unused except one tool to adjust rear springs. And she's heavy. PROS: Everything else. Unable to explain with words, must ride it. COMFORT: I've bought Bonne as my only bike and I would never choose different. She's comfortable about 100 miles, then short break then another 100. I've got everything in stock including seat and both me and a my lady are fine riding longer distances. I'm 6''6', so that's something. PERFORMANCE: She's not as agile as my old Kawasaki ZR7-s 2002 750cc but that's exactly what I need. Without a windshield and with open helmet (Schuberth M1), considering everything around including the straight pose I prefer 70mph is fine travelling speed. COMPARISON: I rode both 2015 T100 and 2016 T120 and the difference is significant. Second brake disc, usb charger, heated grips in stock!, lockable tank lid, enough power to hold you and a passenger, every button you need is accessible without leaving handles, this motorbike is great improvement. SUMMARY: It's not a supersport for taking over everything anytime you find on the road nor bmw1200gs for trips around the world, but for casual rider (6000 miles/year) and mid distances (400 miles/day) touring especially when you already had something faster and now just want to enjoy the ride, I can't imagine changing for anything else. Maybe that BMW, after another ~30 years when I'll be old reliability-loving boring pap.
