Alright people...

i passed my test a month or so ago and have been riding a honda cb1 (as advertised for a swap in the exchange and mart forum) although i dont think i like the speed...i think im gonna lose my licence....

i had much more fum on the cg i learnt on just thrashing the * off it.

anyway what bikes are there that look good but arent that fast??

the only 1 i can think of is the new cbf250 but that has a rear drum?? sort it out honda...

A rear drum brake will be able to brake just as hard as a rear disc brake.

What about something like the Suzuki goose? Or a medium engine size trail bike?

Had a drum brake on my old KLR600, outlasted 4 sets of front pads and had more feel than the rear disc brakes of my previouse bikes.

Rear drums will lock just fine if you're braking hard, especially in the wet.
