Chadatious 0 Posted September 25, 2013 rub it in lol, only chance I have as out of local Honda dealerships as one doesn't have a demo bike and others are miles away. is to find a second hand one at a shop, but id be tempted to buy one from them anyway lol.

Chadatious 0 Posted September 25, 2013 yeah also may be worth getting one from them eventually, as they have a few cheap ones, a black on e with few blingy bits, with 4k on clock for 5k. shame I cant get one till march Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bladerunner 0 Posted September 25, 2013 I travelled 160 miles to buy my Ducati, don't understand what the problem is, the whole point of having a bike is riding it and 51 miles barely even gets a bike properly warmed up. edited to say 160 miles each way.

Waiting for the new v-strom 1000 to come out as well, might test a multistrada 1200, a Versys 1000 GT and a VFR800 Crossrunner.Chad, you won't regret getting a CB1000R they are cracking bikes, just think of a naked fireblade with a lot more comfort and way better looks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
