XTreme Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Prior to the unforeseen circumstances on our run, @Skippy gave the CB a test ride! Now as you know, I've raved about this thing since I had it........and taken relentless abuse about it! This certainly seems the bike that some of you love to hate! No idea why! So I asked Ray if he wanted to test it out and give his opinion.......after all, he's similar age, stature, and riding experience. Have I been making false claims about it to justify my purchase? Find out the truth! Turn up the volume! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcel le Moose Fondler Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Holyshit you guys sound funny... Is that they call hillbilly English in your parts... We have those around here has well... But they mostly live in the woods.... Im sure there's some insest going on but I'm not sure... What I know for sure is that they all look alike... I still don't know what your going on about the CB 500....I'm sure it would make a nice in town commuter.... There's no way in my mind I could stand that thing on a multi day ride... Doing 500 plus km days... We have different types of roads and sometimes we need to run on highways to get to piont a to b.... At speeds of 120 kph...and overtake transport trucks.... The ktm 1290 is just purring at those speeds... Your would be winning at almost the redline..... It would be alright I guess if you were riding with a bunch of mopeds... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think a busa is too much, I see that more likely that as you have got to your old age you're reflexes aren't what they used to be and you can't handle it, I'd be able to ride whatever on those roads and still live to tell the tale but we aren't all to the same standard I guess... I mean we do have a few harley riders on here don't we....and that says it all. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s me, when I bounced a whole lot better than I do now, going round Donnington Park on a track day. What was I thinking of? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pros and cons if you would be so kind ray To be honest, it was one of my most favourite bikes and I’ve had a lot of them. I found I could load it up with the Mrs and luggage and blast off to Europe. It was ballistically fast but easy to ride slow too. It was a real feel good bike and if I win the lottery I will buy another one just keep in the garage and take it out when the mood takes me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Fallsalot Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 When the Hayabusa first hit the showrooms there was a demonstrator in motorcycle world in Talbot Green close to me, i had bought a few bikes off the prick there so thought i'd see if i could get a test ride but he said he wouldn't let me go out on it unless i was buying it and done all the paperwork upfront and then the last thing would be a test ride. When i asked why he said people were taking it out just to do the top speed on it which is what i had planned LOL and he had the police phoning him almost every time it went out to say his demonstrator had just done a runner again 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I is close to the top of my list I not the front runner, due to it being able to do everything I would need of it.....but there are still others on the list that also tick the right boxes for my current needs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, I’d had a real assortment of bikes as a loan bike from him over the years but taking that Busa out was off the scale. I spent the first hour trying to calibrate my brain to the acceleratorion, the second hour muttering to myself “why on earth would anyone need this kind of power?” and the third and final hour telling myself that in no account was I going to buy one. I’d been back in the shop for a minute before I ordered one. They are that kind of bike. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
