I have been putting off doing this post as I love Honda’s especially my Superdream’s, however I have recently purchased a bike that is the best I have ever ridden. Has any other members ever had the pleasure of riding one?   |

no carl but I have used a 1250 bandit for a week and if its as good as that was it will be brilliant it had a power commander and had been set up on the dyno and in top gear at 1000rpm you twisted the throttle and of it went I felt hard of giving it back  |

If I went for a Yam it would be one of the early 600 Diversions

I’ve never ridden one but always fancied trying one of them or a Suzy 1400,I like the “muscle” bikes as they’re sometimes called.Must say a yellow Kenny Roberts paint job is nice

I was hoping to get a yellow one and would have loved the 50th anniversary edition, but condition and price had to rule over colour.  |

Not ridden anything Jap that large, but I love my K1200, when you go beyond 1000cc the act of riding becomes effortless, I've do have a hankering for a vmax though.
What's the weight like at low speed Carl?

What's the weight like at low speed Carl? They aren’t that heavy approx 230kgs and the seat height is fairly low. I was looking to get a CB750F or Cb900F (Superdream’s big brother) but I viewed a 750 and the seller had just purchased an XJR and told me they were lighter than the CB750F 😳, having checked the specs and comparing the bhp, I’m sorry to say I decided To search for an XJR instead. Having now got one I love it. |

Be careful on it... I know it’s not silver but even so.

Sounds like a plan as they say.It’s a mere lightweight compared to my Harley which I believe weighs in at around 335 kg but it’s very low Wonder what the XJR would look like in pink lol. |
