Oh, I LOVE that. If I was tall and strong that would be the bike I'd choose. It has the look of the original but it's so much better in all sorts of ways. If that's your last one, you've saved the best 'till last. :tup:

Took it for a spin this morning. It's a bit quick. I was expecting performance like the CB1100.
If i knew how, or had the balls, i would be doing wheelies.
Heated grips are tame, seat is a bit firm (Got the answer to that)
Overall, 40 miles and well impressed.

All the reviews i read said that this colour, Orange/Red/Brown (heard it called all) is the best colour to go for, so i did.

If they did white i would not have bought anyway.

Now looking for someone to spray paint my Top Box the same Orange/Red/Brown...............with couch lines๐Ÿ
