Looking at this in the context of the original 1959 Bonneville, what the T120 is doing is simple: instead of remaking itself to chase trends, it chooses to keep being itself. What the era demanded wasn't a wild new design, it was exactly this kind of refusal to change. Hearing that plenty of these rack up 40,000 miles without a major failure doesn't surprise me, when you look at it through history.

Seen the Bonneville through generations now, that reliability's real.

$13,995 is steep, but I get why it beats the W800 on price.

Nah, I'd take the R12 nineT's boutique vibe any day.

40k+ miles with no major issues is genuinely impressive.

That's down to maintenance though, no way that's the average.

57.2% recovery is higher than I'd have guessed for the industry.
