2013 Triumph Bonneville in Boys Town, NE

The Bonneville is a great all-around bike. Small enough and light enough for a beginner to handle, but big enough and powerful enough to keep an experienced rider grinning. The power curve is such that it can be ridden very tamely, or you can explore its wilder side by opening it up and letting it rip. It's great on gas and can be set up easily with Triumph's quick-release windshield and gorgeous leather bags to do some touring.
