One of my work mates has what I think is a 250 version of this bike, he is very happy with it, he said it has very good fuel economy, injectors and computer controlled and all that. It's the sort of bike I could buy on impulse but I know I would go off it soon afterwards, where as I would never go off something like a CB400 Superfour, a Bandit or an SD. The key think for me is that I like all thinks including bikes to be modular, (distinct parts which bold together and can be taken apart easily and serviced easily). I hate anything that is integrated or even integrated looking, not just because of the over complexity that usually goes with integration, but more so because it reminds me of everything that is wrong with this world, over complexity and time scarcity and over interdependancy on complex systems. I take my anger out on new complex things !

Noticed a 64 plate at Honda Chichester and made some inquiries..... turns out (on the never never) it works out virtually cheaper for me to grab a brand new 'en.
Life is is frickin' strange at times.

I take my anger out on new complex things ! I get what you are saying S..................but in 35 years these will be quite collectible don't you think? There must surely only be a limited run of around a ten million. It is mad to think what new machinery will be being discussed in the same context in 35 years ahead. My gut is that the wheels will be square - but it actually won't matter - not one iota.

Your right there Nick when I brought mine I went for a test ride on a white plain one & salesman asked if I like it & I admitted I did & he said "of course I'm never going to sell that white one" i asked why & he told me I could have a new one for same price the second hand one was up for sale for. The RRP for the CBR650F is £6999 & the second hand one was £6300 & he let me have a brand new one for £6300 in the colour of my choice (tricolour) also 0% finance result & gave me £2000 for my gixxer as well so I was a happy chappy.
