Default Honda CBF125

Had mine for two weeks now to commute to work (the SV stays in the garage!) and I have to say that it does exactly what it says on the tin. Great to ride, comfy and extremely economical.

Anyone else got one?

I think they are. The cbr125 engine is very similar to the cg one anyway so would be suprised if the cbf was.
I had a cbr 125 and the only things it had going for it were reliability, no complaints from the neighbours and fuel economy (was topping up about £4 a week).Sv doing the equivelant mileage would probably be about £15. Found I had to redline it everywhere to make any progress and the handling didn't inspire confidence. Is the cbf/cg a lot different?

I think 2k miles is the official bored period. I've done 2k in about the past 6 weeks and I just can't stop looking at sport 600s!
