All Activity

Still around 250 kg wet which is fecking heavy especially for a Lady who is looking for something lighter. Think a CBF1000 is around 240 wet so going in the wrong direction Don't get all defensive I personally think Busas are pretty cool, not sure I want one, I am over big power big weight stuff, but recognise that they are an interesting bit of kit.

It is abit extreme I'll admit but possibly abit lower seat height than a cbf1000

No but it is a bike of extremes not really suited to commuting especially for someone who is finding a CBF1000 to heavy and a bit tall.

But a busa isnt a tractor

He has that done before he leaves, his friends Ben Dover and Phil McCavity do it for him

its cause of the old gits age

Pretty much in the same way a fecking Busa would.

Right engine wrong bike I think the Rebel is ugly to, I like the CL but that has been hit with the same ugly stick. If I didn't have the CBF600 I could see a NX or CB500F being a great option for my commute, mind you I traded my CB500F for a Hornet so what do I know

That's 50 quid more expensive than for me with the busa

There must be better options than that, my CBF600 was only £90 ish.

tell the insurance to fuck off and just go get it

That was the cheapest, and it was with some insurance company that I have never heard of, i am with Swinton (£75 for the scoot) who funnily were not on the list of quoting companies.

She rode the 500 rebel yesterday and liked it, says she'd use it to commute. Stupid woman, it's fugly.

Blimey

Being silly I know, so I did a online insurance quote.....£275!!, i will definitely give it a miss.

Her purse has a big fuck off padlock on it.

It needs a bit of work, headstock bearing, and a blow on one header pipe, simple enough to fix, and not too much expense. If (I can't ) got it I would use it, not very often I know (I don't get out much ) but not to sell on. I had GPZ500 in the past, a decent enough bike, just the damn thing liked to corrode & and rust quickly...

I'd just get it, it looks in decent condition so wouldn't take much to flip it

Funnily enough I rode Shadows 125 the other day and it goes much better now I have lost 4 stone, real performance upgrade

Tell the wife to shut the fuck up and go get it

Could be a nice winter project for me.........Wife says no!

A nice start to the day here , weatherman says rain later, which should make the bike 🏍 racing at Donington interesting...

Mine is fast enough (for this old fart ) when out and about, it not particularly quick off the mark, maybe it would be a bit quicker if I weighed a bit less.

My scoot has a whopping 33hp LOL, it does go well though

You did read the part where weight is an issue.... how would a ¾ ton tractor help her?
