One of the guys I ride out with is waiting for a test ride on one - he currently has a TDM900 so I think its a good move for him (TDM doesnt have enough poke)
Be interesting to see what he thinks of it....

I was expecting it to get slated in the press, but it's been doing OK. The retune's not quite as bad as the usual "retuned race rep" but still pretty bad- Chopped of the top, but not got nearly as much of a boost in the midrange as I'd want to compensate.
Still, very practical package from the looks of it. I'm sort of thinking it as the first big trailie with no trailie pretensions whatsoever (a good thing, IMO) I bet you a pound it doesn't sell.

I don't think it will sell either.
It just doesn't look like something people want to buy...this could mean top bargains for the more selective punter..such as myself

I'd rather have a CB1300S tbh.
I really don't like the fairing on the CBF1000, wish they'd stop making them like that, eg V-Strom, makes 'em all look like bug eyed freaks. |
