There was a few two wheels articles on these bikes .. can't remember the outcome, but both seemed not bad for what they are. I'd look at engine servicing costs, reliability, initial purchase price and fitment of goodies as a good indicator.

remembering reading a review in some mag and they concluded that the trump felt like a brand new bonnie while the kwaka felt like a restored 60's bonnie both are kinda cool , the kwaka is lots cheaper , the bonnie imho seems somewhat expensive for what it is ??? the thruxton looks cool , but again seems somewhat expensive for what it is there a german site floating around (no smee not THAT sort of site) dedicated to doing up w650 into cafe racers, scamblers , old style racer bikes....looks quite cool -- cb250rs->gpx600r->xj650->fzs600->trx850-> zx7r->trx850->900ss->zx636r->yzf750r "FuTAnT" <blah.DeleteThis@blah.com> wrote in message news:40bf2218$0$2303$61ce578d@news.syd.swiftdsl.com.au... > There was a few two wheels articles on these bikes .. can't remember the > outcome, but both seemed not bad for what they are.
