Not sure if many people on here have them. I have a mate who does who doesn't come on here. He's as tall as you are but a bit lighter. He rates it as all day comfortable and it hasn't put a foot wrong in terms of reliability. It's probably getting away from what an amateur mechanic can effectively service for themselves in terms of complexity.
He also says it's creep-up-on-you stupid fast. You think you're cruising and look down to see instaban speeds on the clock.
Tricky to find a decent looking and sounding exhaust for one. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

All the above notwithstanding. If you're looking for a slightly comfier, more modern version of the CBF1000, you're probably on the right track.
One suggestion though. See if you can get a test ride on a big Triumph Tiger. Adventure styling but with modern sportsbike tyres on, they are no slouch. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

Had one, loved it.
Did a big post about it here
Trackday'd it at Mallory too. Ground through half a footpeg and a fairing panel. Good handling, if a bit heavy.

The last post was made 3 years, 309 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
