CBF1000 - Yes or No?
Hey.
Well my dad has decided that his Yammy 600 isnt big enough for him so he was looking at a 2006 Honda CBF1000, I just thought I would get some peoples opinions of it first so i could feedback anything bad to him. So... They any good? Leon / Abyss |

Fun then. The CBF1000, I'd imagine, is not that.

I like 'em. Well, never ridden a big one but the 600's about 10 million times better than I expected. But they're never going to be a hooner's bike. Think naked VFR, I reckon, and you won't go far wrong.

Sorted Bandit 1200! You can poodle around or ride like a hooligan! It's got a bulletproof engine as well.

The answer from me is a resounding "YES!!"
Fantastic bike if you can get past the "hit with an ugly stick" looks. Goes, handles and is very comfortable. Price is good, too. Sounds idea for what your dad wants but, as with all bikes, test ride one first
