Had nothing but Hondas (started in '64 - "First gear it's alright....") until I got a 1969 Triumph Daytona (500cc, dual carb, very similar look to pre 71 Bonnies). Then got a 71 Bonnie, but liked the Daytona better. They had changed the tank, forks, frame - looked more Japanese and had a higher sitting position than the pre 71. Quit for awhile, bought a Honda Rebel, sold it and went 14 years without.
Bought the TA in 2005 - like it better than any bike I've had by far!
