I was talking to some guys at work about this, today. I am dating myself but, my dream bike has always been a Triumph Bonneville 650cc.

No. When was that? Twenty years ago Harley Davidsons had 80ci (1311cc) engines. Fifty years ago they had 61ci (1000cc) and 74ci (1212cc) engines.
And they were still outpowered by a 350cc 2-smoker. "rlol"
