Triumph Bonneville anyone?

Other than the name, and retro styling, the new Triumph company has little to do with the old company. Oil leaks are a thing of the past, and the new bikes are better in every way – power, reliability, handling, braking, and comfort. All motorcycles have glitches, and a particular bike may be excellent or a lemon. That said, the new Triumphs are terrific motorcycles, and if you like the look and comfort of the new Bonnevilles, I wouldn’t hesitate to go for it. Steve McQueen would be proud.

Also, heres another really in-depth review of the Bonneville to check out on VisorDown.com.
 
The stock efi bonnevilles are very different motorcycles compared to their more expensive brothers due to wheel size, rim style, and ergos. Stock Bonnie's inspire more confidence and provide a better riding experience than the t100 and Thruxton.

The thruxton? uncomfortable as hell. Reliability is fine with the usual triumph electrical woes.

Do you own one? I have had a Thruxton for several years with no problems. My guess is you don't know what you are talking about and are espousing a view from the '60s. (I have a 1960s bonneville as well - no issues)
