Re: Green light to buy a new bike
Yep. The new CB does look pretty sweet.

I have a really good friend that was a team mechanic for the Attack/Kawi team...and he rode an R1 as his personal bike, that has always been a resonating point in my memories.
Like one of our fellow forum brothers stated above, you gotta go with what "fits" you best...and for me, that's always been "blue" lol.

IF I were buying something like that I assume it's for regular long haul use not fun - so I'd buy a car and a Guzzi V7

Vintage styling, modern Honda reliability, (reported) awesome performance, guranteed to be a standout in a sea of all plastic fantastics. All wins in my book.

timdaugherty said:I agree with all comments here. Given my lack of mechanical knowledge and the fact that the bikes look relatively (I use that loosely) similar, my conclusion would reside in the ride of each. If it were me, I would ride both of them in the same day and make the decision on which one "fits" me best.
Best of luck and, regardless of your decision, enjoy the new bike!

singkiwi said:Go to the dealer, get him to strip them down, grind all the tabs, polish and chrome. Hack the seat, get rid if everything unnecessary and then you'll know what it's going to be like after you've finished, then choose the coolest looking one....
