Decision time

Do I like my Fazer 600? Yes. Would I like another bike? Yes. R1, Gixer, Blade, Zx 10? Too extreme. R6? Too uncomfy. Blackbird, Vfr? Maybe. Bmw anything? Nope, too teutonic. Harley? Not me. Argh this is difficult.
I want a bike that's comfy, not too quick, but can live with the big boys, can tour, scratch, commute and has a bit of street cred.

So I opened my garage door and there it is, my Fazer 600. Perfect for me. Job done. New bike? No. New lcd tv and a holiday? Yes. Wife happy, me happy, bank account happy.

Until I test rode and fell in love with the new Cbf 1000 and it started all over again....!

Life is cruel.

Re: Decision time

Fours years off bikes after a nasty accident

said I probably wouldnt ride again

test rode a CBF1000, loved it so much

bought one Fantastic bike, looks quite small compared to other bikes, see here:-
A little something for the weekend..
but I think its a fantastic bike, and great in all conditions - even in central Hell (Manchester on a Friday afternoon)

but thats just my opinion

go for it

Nah it's not difficult. You've just mentioned the Blackbird, no need to look any further! And if you find it too fast, then just hammer a nail in the throttle grip so it only goes 1/2 way, or don't go above 4th..... Or summat
