There is really no controversy. It is a very pretty Bulevulcan knockoff. Its posted in other bikes and its another bike.
And thank goodness it will never be a rigid, underpowered, oil leaking upright bike as above. They make pretty wall art.
For our bikes they took a Bonneville and made it look like a M50. They kept the geezer magnet look and badge but moved it to the Japanese riding position and changed the crank so our little old bottoms would not vibrate. We ate them up! Our bikes have absolutely nothing to share with the old Bonneville except a chain and a badge. They are not even made in England for most of the worlds distribution.
After we bought them we hated the lights, seats, pipes, carbs, pegs, and height. So we took our Suzukitrumph and made it a lit up, loud, floor-boarded bagger. A harleyhumph with a cool badge!
Just teasing but think about it. Its in other bikes. It does not diminish what we like or our bikes.
regardless of opinions.
I think its a really pretty bike. Then again I think the Victory Kingpin is a work of art so I may be a poor judge as I am one of about 3 people that like that one
