So I ended up getting a 2008 CBF1000, the ABS model.
I was being tempted by thoughts of a Fazer FZS1000 or Bandit 1250, but the Honda was less than 5 minutes walk from my house and the test ride left me more than happy.
That engine is lovely and smooth and I'm loving the effortless power. I'm not used to this amount of pick-up, even at low revs in 4th or 5th. Not a lot of noise from the exhausts so this may be something that I'll rectify at some point . This was accentuated when a couple of very fat Suzuki Intruders came alongside me while filtering through traffic this afternoon.. Jeez that's some sound they produce!
Thanks for everyone's advice, suggestions and help - it's completely changed my outlook. I would have ended up with a 600 and I'm sure I'd have been happy with that, but this has taken me into totally new territory, and I like it!!

I believe I called it first
I'd be interested to hear what you think of it, specifically it's handling in the twisties and less well surfaced roads. I'm tempted to pick one up as an interim change from my er6 until I've got the cash saved for a tracer. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 30 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
