Hi to all that have responded to my original post as to whether I should buy a Bonneville SE or an America.
The update is that I have now test ridden the Speedmaster and the America and as some predicted, there simply is no real choice when comparing those to the Bonnie SE.
I found the front end of the America/Speedmaster a bit ponderous initially and the forward leg position a little disconcerting to begin with. Riding through chicanes and tight low speed turns also produced a bit of a wobble on my part to start with.
However, as the rides progressed it all became as clear as day to me. Consequently I'm now off to buy a Vespa LX50.
Don't worry my mind is still in tact and with all of that and tomorrow being my birthday, I will be taking possession of a brand new Blue/White America in the afternoon.
Your help, comments and wit were a all very much appreciated.
