'Ere 'ere is the EAR Megathread

Chin up KJ.


Me and dad went for a ride this afternoon, got a bit wet, then swapped bikes. His CB1300 is a big old comfy armchair, and it felt like riding a magic carpet. Loverly, that's my sort of bike.

Excellent Thankyou!

Never fails to cheer anyone up, I've used it for some of my team when they've been having troubles

I was 5 when that was made, and we ALWAYS used to sit with our grandparents to watch M&W. Watching that took me back 33 years. Thanks Dicky xx

He seems to think it's comfy, though he's a good bit smaller than me. Pulling away in 1st it feels like the engine is out of puff pretty quick, and the SV gearbox takes a 'positive' gear change (boot it in..). SV feels hard and skittish (but it does have gsxr forks and ohlins shock set up for Pete and Lissa )

In comparison, the CB1300 has a fecking great comfy seat, the bars are a bit higher so the position is more comfortable for me. The gearbox is smoother than silk, though if you're pressing on a bit, you can't have any pressure on the gear lever before changing up to 3rd. Suspension absorbs all the bumps nicely but doesn't wallow. Engine is like a turbine, you don't need to rev it much to get a move on.

If only I could afford a nice big bike
