Re: Suggest Bikes for me to buy
I do know what bike would really do what I want, CBR650, it's probably perfect for what I want, 90bhp Sports Tourer

Re: Suggest Bikes for me to buy
How about a minty ZRX1200 - doesn't satisfy the newish criteria very well though

I don't like them, they feel heavy when riding, probably because they are heavy.Ditchfinder wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 11:13 am How about a minty ZRX1200 - doesn't satisfy the newish criteria very well though

Re: Suggest Bikes for me to buy
I'm not close friends with all the BSB riders and wasn't in the pub with them last night, but if I had been, we'd probably all have agreed this is the best bike out there. Get it bought or you're well bent!

Re: Suggest Bikes for me to buy
Gotta say Cheesy, you're even worse than me for bike selection! At least I know I want a middle weight naked.
As for the CBR650 why not just try one? I saw one in the flesh for the first time about 2 weeks ago. Looked really nice and bet it's a great road bike. It's essentially a brand new original CBR6 which lets be honest is probably all 99% of us need.

Re: Suggest Bikes for me to buy
Surely the fun is in riding a bike ? If not just buy some pictures for the garage wall it’ll be cheaper

Re: Suggest Bikes for me to buy
Had a look at a CBR650F, I'd have bought it if it wasn't covered in corrosion, my mission is to look for a good condition one, for about £5K - I wasn't going to pay that for a bike with forks that are starting to pit, a corroded rear shock, rusty exhaust etc. But as an overall bike I really liked it, just not that one, the later CBR650R, isn't bad but the F looks nicer, and I definitely want 4 cylinders.

Re: Suggest Bikes for me to buy
Cbr650 is a nice bike but compared to an MT07 it’s a bit bland, whereas an MT07 is all torque and punches out of corners with a wheelie the cbr isnt and doesn’t. Still a good bike but I prefer fun
