My wife bought a new bonny when they first came out, 790cc if I remember.
It was a very nice bike, did everything well but nothing great.
She sold it because it had no character, her words.
I thought it was a good bike but I did agree with her about the character.
I don't know what the newer ones are like with the larger engine.
Mk3 has character in bucket loads and is a nice bike to ride long distance.
I had a 595 for a few years, that was a great bike, very well made and finished.
It is (was) one of those bikes I wish I didn't sell. Went well, handled well, sounded cranky, but it was very hot in the summer.
