I don't tend to change bikes often. I currently have a Suzuki C800 I've owned since 2016. It's going to be hard to part with as I've made it my own, know it inside and out and it has never let me down. But I don't want the same bike forever and I want to upgrade to something with more modern tech such as ABS, more power but still has classic styling.
So I'm pretty much set on a post 2018 Triumph T120. Anyone got one? A lot of Youtube reviews are shills and biased so I'd prefer real owners opinions. How is the fit and finish in all weather riding? Is it reliable? The main problem I've heard is the gear selector shaft can break, but that's something I could easily repair myself. Mint examples can be had for £8000 which is well within budget. I'd probably sell the Suzuki and let someone else enjoy it.

No idea about the Bonny but Honda CB1100 fits the requirements too. Don't know if you're aware of them?

Yea I've seen the Honda but I think the T120 has much more character
