It's widely agreed that the unit Bonnie engines are far smoother than Commandos.
Cookie said:I've never had my engine apart, the folks that put it in the featherbed frame rebuilt it. I am assumeing they did some balance work as it is not all that bad, but my first bike was a G15CSR and that bike was quite a bit smoother. Folks say the heavy Matchless frame on the G15 damped the Atlas. I use the term smoother lightly here as the Atlas motor always did shake.
