    For those who want the best of both worlds, the latest Bonneville has fuel injectors inside dummy carbs.

    that pic can't be of a current bike. Everyone knows that nobody makes regular street bikes anymore. You can't fool me with your shenanigans! ;)

    It's for real! I know a guy who has one. At first glance it looks like a '75 Bonnie. Then, when you get close enough to really scope it out you see whats really going on!

    Lots of aluminum. Bigger Heads. Refined but close to the Original Controls and Instrumentation. They're beautiful.

    The "Retro Look" is the whole selling point!
    Some guys just have to have them.

    That's a gorgeous bike! The dummy carb idea is a great idea imo.

    Why the bogus carb look?

    Should have used the Old BING Style Carb Body to hide the Fuel Injection somehow.

    Looking at the Bike with Jap-Style Carbs on it don't make sense to me!

    you should get a T100 for US 12K 2K more than the basic, which hasn't even got the metal tank badges & I think 70s alloy wheels.
