Hi,
Litte off topic but i'll add my comparison of BB to Speed Twin 1200.
After riding 30 000 km with two summers with BB, went to 30k service and never brought it back. Got offer for trade in and for speed twin.
After riding first 1000 km with speed twin, here are my initial feelings feelings:
*) BB appearance i like a lot more
(and basically only good point of bobber)
*) BB engine is like a tractor, compared to speed twin. When accelerating, BB is like towing something, speed twin is like flying with ease compared to it.
*) BB shocks on not ideal road try to shake bike and you apart … on speed twin standard shocks these roads are not problematic anymore.
*) Speed twin riding position is more relaxed than BB.
*) Speed twin barakes are so much better, but probably lightweight front rim and -45kg less total weight play the role here.
(During 30k service and between speed twin arriving dealer gave me standard bobber, i almost crashed it into front car. Standard bobber brakes were unexpectedly so much worse than BB. Currently BB -> speed twin feels same way)
The only bad design of speed twin is that it's missing rear swing arm splash guard. Wet road will throw up all road dirt: back seat, jacket and even reaches helmet. BB never had such problems.
Who drives a lot, speed twin is much comfortable choice, a good touring bike.
I will return back to bobber if they fix shocks design, use more aluminum making it lighter(<= 210 kg) and add 1200HP version engine option.
1200 HP engine so much responsive and SMOOTHER.
My final personal opinion is: speed twin is a way better in all aspects other than appearance
