Hi all! Smile

I started to think about getting my next bike. I really really like the cbf500, but i'd like a bit more power (for better acceleration, and the ability to power wheelie it). I already had some bikes that i liked, but they all lack something that is important to me.

Can you recommend me some? Smile

The most important things for me are:

- Robustness and reliability. something thats been around for a while, and works perfectly, never breaks down.
- Naked bike, or sport bike style. maybe adventure, but i dont like if they are too high, too high-tec, too shiny-looking.
- Bit higher belly height, so it can go up sidewalks for example, or maybe it can do a bit offroad if it has to.
- Range. my CBF has 19 liters tank, and it eats 4-5 liters per 100km at low speeds.

Would be nice:
- low price, and low maintenance cost (maybe low fuel consumption, while still being powerful when i want Smile)
- It can have high seat size too, i'm tall. But cbf is very small and it was comfortable too.

thank you all... so thats why the fazer and the hornet are so popular for driving instructors Very Happy

The fireblade was here twice, its because its tough and cheap? But the range doesnt seem to be good. maybe for a sportbike its good.
