There is a 09 Bonneville, not listed in the catalog that is much more rare. A stock, basic, Bonnie, Black,...with EFI. Not many around. Saw one today. Looked online, and its true, its not supposed to be available, yet a few are.

Is it then a collectible?

Is this the one? New Bonneville
I think it replaces the Bonneville Black as the base model.

What they are is left over European 2008 Bonnies that were manufactured late enough to market as 2009s.

Looking at the 09 catalogue the T100, Scrambler and Thruxton are the only bikes shown with spokes. I guess the Thruxton is next to get alloys, its a mod the origanal cafe racers probably would have done anyway.

those wheels look good, but they should still at least offer spokes


Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

No, its not that one, that has the alloys. This is the base Bonnie, with EFI. It has 09 numbers, so its not a 08 left over.
