Bikers' Banter

Took my CB 1100 down to 2 dealers yesterday. They will get back to me on Monday or Tuesday with what they are prepared to offer.
Now, riding that bike again only confirmed i want another of this type when i get back to UK. The CB is just about perfect for my type and style of riding.
So what other bikes are similar in size, looks (retro) and power, say around 100 BHP.
I will keep the big heap (RT) for longer runs and runs where i need a Sat Nav.

Suggestion from me would be the Kawasaki Z range , 650 /900 /1000 cc to choose from but could see you turn into more of a hooligan .

CC, you know i am dead keen on this Z900RS retro that they just brought out. Read about it and seen them in J&S near me (before i realised i wanted one).
Thing is they DON'T do white, AND no top box rack yet. They do a low seat conversion that suits me.
When i get home i will give it a serious looking at.
I will let all 3 on here know.

Buy one, Bob. Much too big for me, but the most beautiful bike I've seen for a long time. If I had long legs and some money I would have booked a test ride after the first sight of it. We had one of the originals but I reckon the modern version will be miles better.

I must admit, I thought it was ‘alright ‘ when I first saw it.
Now, I would be quite tempted

Yamaha XSR900 - A more dignified MT-09.
