Which of These Two Bikes Will Be The More Reliable

[Frosties]

What did you do to the cbf? CBF threw its TPS out of the pram. Can't buy seperate, have to buy with throttle bodies @ £1500. It also took out the ECU which is £600 for a 2nd hand kit. Read about a few Deauvilles, Pans etc and other CBF 1000 owners who have coughed up only to have it re-occur 12 months later. Totally lost faith in Honda's even though I've put mine down to being a "friday bike." You can buy a Kawasaki TPS seperate ffs! Tried a few Chinky copy TPS units @ £25 a pop from the States - they set up fine but only last 5-10miles :thumbdown

Tigers are nice but the bandit is probably the sensible option.

One of my pals, a lifelong motorcyclist and a wealthy one at that, uses a bike to visit his clients 5 days a week averaging 1,000 miles plus. As long as I've known him he's always chosen Yamahas and Suzukis, currently the 1250, and he could afford anything on the market, but the most important requirement is starting on the button every morning week in week out. Look upon it as "What's the best tool for the job".

That's the endorsement that would convince me and Ive got commitment decision problems.

It's the endorsement that I think has made my mind up due to financial commitment problems. BOLLOCKS is still the correct word 'cos I so want the Tiger  :wall
