Very nice mate 8) ....even if i did try to put you off.

Its a cracking bike Noggy - turbine smooth, no vices and handles very similar to a FZS. Just wish the CBF1000 forum wasn't so fecking boring. Have I bought a boring old bastards bike so none of them have a sense of humour  :lol

Yeh it is shit...my mate said that.....one guy asked for advice to upgrade his rear shock...6 months later he had 3 replies....one said they didnt see the point in replacing the standard shock as they were great............the next said go on google......the third was pretty helpful and just said get in touch with hagon or nitron........that was it...no ribbings or anything

Nope, not a single piss take - loads of "use the search, it's been covered" with no link or "should've posted that question here" or feck all replies. Little bit patronising and weird as feck. Reckon they're all sensible  :'(

Got it in one Sinto. This site has got to be the best bike or car forum I've ever been on. Loads of good advice when you need it and follow up checks to see how you're doing. Add a lot of associated piss taking which are relevant and you quite simply have the perfect forum.  :guitar

:agree

That's the reasons I like it here too, nothing wrong with a bit of stick, keeps you happy and you get info too
Far better here than on fb, might be some of the same guys but I just find here better

I committed facebook suicide many years ago, best thing I ever did!

Its funny you mention it being turbine smooth. That was a description I used when I got mine. 4th gear from 10mph all the way up to silly speed. Like a turbine, not a hint of snatching or coughing.

Or even 6th at 30mph and pin it....is a Gen1 Thou pretty similar? Going to have the CBF as my 365 commuter and thinking now about changing the 600 for one of the Gen1's up for sale to have as a weekender (or give the 600 some needed TLC). The Tiger I just can't part with - not many around and it gets lots of comments.

Out of curiosity BB, mine's a 57 bike and just running my first tankful to check range so what are you getting to a tank ?

Same riding style as my other bikes and currently have 136 miles clocked up with a tad over a 1/4 tank left (I know it's 4 litres left at top of red mark)

[BBROWN1664]

I get around 10-11 miles per litre but generally fill up long before the light comes on.
I cant recall how big the tank is meant to be but you will work that out soon using your bike much more than I do.

10 miles per litre = 45.**mpg and 11miles/L = 50.**mpg if my maths is working. I know its a 19.4 litre tank so ballpark 190 odd mile range.

Will punch mine up later when I fill up.
