Dropped the bike off for a service, I have a CBF 500 to use tomorrow It's stealth black, and sounds like a lawn mower I might not want to swap back ! Bet you won't beg for pics of this bad boy lol
Oi, my daily is a CBF500 and I do have pics. It's left outside all year round, used all year round no cover little maintenance and starts on the button. Admittedly it sounds like a bag of spanners as I think the cam chains loose but 8000 miles (13500 total) and the only thing I've done is oil and filter and c&s. She's a gem, bit rusty but honest.

That's the one Mines got 20000 on it, it's ok better than what I got last time, just feels so alien after the blade No offence meant mrB Mine also is a little rusty, adds to the character
That pic was taken when I got it, she looks a lot less happy these days. £1500 to £2500 for a goodun but as said bullet proof can chuck em about and saves the p&j for fun days, you also get to appreciate how much nicer your "other" bike is For a winter hack, ideal.
Will keep an eye out as my possible new job may be a 100 mile round trip commute to Bristol and that might be ideal
Ah good luck with the possible new job. Cheap to run, economical, sure it's no rocket ship but for A to B reliability I rate it.
in yeovil, possibly working at filton You got a room spare lol In fact the new garage sounds like it would be better that most b and b's
Lol apart from the lack of heating, bed, running water lol. If I was commuting to filton then using a bike would be a big plus
I know the traffic is horrible, but would be in for work a 7 and finish 6 ish so should not be to bad, but while it is possible I would use the bike, or in winter months find a B and B for the three nights I would be up there
I too could do with one of these.. as my daily commute is 110 Mile (Truro-Torpoint) Cracking roads if i avoid the A30. I may have to trawl Auto Trader!! Jay
I know I should not say this but I loved the ride in this morning the wrong side of 70 felt like 200 mph, when I was pootling along, comfy and smiling to myself looking at the country side Not the blade but I still like it a lot !
