went to the nearest Honda dealership today to test ride the CB1000R it was a comfy ride but I found it a little bland, I really thought I would love it but I didn't so back to the drawing board, I was thinking of coming off the sports bike scene & trying a naked (CBR1000RR) currant ride, maybe I've a few years left on sports bikes, no rush though I might keep mine another year or so. it looks small in this photo, I'm not a big guy 5ft 9 &. 71 kilos but it does look small in the photo.  |
