My brother has a Storm, such a beaut of a bike. I'm thinking about chopping in the Fazer already (only had it 6 months) looking for something a little more modern. I keep getting drawn to the Dark Side. (Honda CBF1000)

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, and obviously it will look biased on this forum, but there is nothing a CBF1000 will do that a  1000 can't do better!

To true, it's now the start of the season, so deals are still on but you'll have to work a little harder. Best time to buy is mid to late December.

I had one back in 00 loved it does everything oh soooo easy ture 200mph bike I run mine at 202.3mph at buntingthopre with only a few little tweeks,  one thing that in't so cleaver is back tyre wear 

I blow one in under a 1k.....I kid you not! 

Great bike would have another, but I have to say I prefer the ealier models that back end and those end cans are just arse

Inmy opinion those Busa'a and ZZrs are just too big,bulky, we rode along with one of each all the way down to Florence last year, the ZZR looked more comfy than the Busa,, the Busa seems so so long,


then there was walking then out of the garage in the mornings,,well we all could see that was a challenge.I was well happy with my FZ1s until we went over 140mph then these bikes were into there own ground, but only then.They were ok for ordinary riding but i have been into Wales last year and the ZZR14 rider was not happy turning into them twisty twisty bends like the Fazers and Gixxer.

Perhaps on our narrow and twisty country lanes they aren't the best choice, but does their size and power not have any enticement? I love the idea of a big heavy bike - its a challenge... and I'm a little bit mad. I do sometimes consider applying to get an HGV license (later in life)... for absolutely no other reason than to have the experience

You know, with all these things and my love for muscle cars, I'm beginning to think I may have some American blood in me...

That's one lovely looking Busa. I've ridden an 07 pretty much flat out  and they are amazing. One of the few desirable bikes I get my feet flat on the floor.  The one I rode had a really bad finish though, the paint was coming off the fairing.
I use my bike for commuting so I don't need anything more than my Thousand.  I've had a few Blades and loved them but bought my Fazer  because I struggled in heavy traffic with the riding position.
Enjoy your bike matey it's a beaut.
