Anyone ride one? Thoughts or opinions? 
  Got the itch to pick up a used one for knocking around. 
  Want a 2009 or newer to get fuel injection. Would like saddlebags to carry a little bit of gear. 
  Found a 2012 with 11,000 miles about 2-1/4 hours from home, might go out and take a peek if it’s still available next weekend. Has a pair of saddle bags, two seats (stock and Mustang) and a small fairing that may or may not block some wind.

Nice. Im a bit of a motorcycle aficionado but more of a vintage motorcycle fan. Have a 1969 Kawasaki H2, 1970 Bultaco 250, 1972 Honda CL175, 1977 Yamaha RM400, 1978 Yamaha 650, 1983 Kawasaki GPZ750 turbo, 1984 Yamaha RZ350. Ridden older Bonnevilles. I have to imagine the newer ones are a great improvement. Its a nice looking bike.

A Bonneville is on my short list of bikes to replace my old Honda CB750K, as soon as I can get that running again and sold.  I've always loved the Bonnevilles, old and new generations, but I'll be looking for fuel injection also (I'm done with carbs, I just want to ride, while I can).  To me, the Bonnevilles pretty much define what a motorcycle is supposed to look and act like.  There's other options out there these days... Royal Enfield has a nice lineup of 650's, and Kawasaki's W800 looks like a really well-built machine (if you can find one).

 

Good luck @Sparky, and keep us posted!
