Back to an FZ
« on: 27 July 2014, 08:41:37 pm »
Just over a year ago I wanted a bike that was more economical to run so I traded in my FZ1S for a CB500X and left the forum.


The X is a good bike for commuting, I have averaged 74mpg over 4,500 miles and my insurance fully comp was £96.


After a year I am getting bored of not having enough power which can be a pain when overtaking, especially with a pillion so today I traded in the CB500X for a 6 month old FZ8 which I collect on Wednesday so I am back  :D

Nice one.

After an FZ1S the CB was never going to set your hair on fire :)
