·Hello Everyone!
Don't know where to start, but I would like to ask your opinion, however I know all the answers coming.
I used to be a CB400 owner, that's a good old perfect bike for newbies. Suddenly I lost my mind and sold it. So I need a "replacement". Always loved Honda and the CB series, never really thought of another brand. My first interest was the little Hornet, but they changed the style from naked to a streetfighter. The whole atmosphere has been changed, more yumpie started to use it as a "power indicator". Sorry, don't want to offend anyone, just my feelings. The 919 is more conservative. Unfortunately here in Finland it is not so popular, and the closest one is about 500 km away.
Anyway, when I faced with the masked alien fighter on page 21 Bike Magazine July 2008, I was bewitched. Grabbed me, and still holds. :help :help
Yesterday another strange thing happened: found a very nice CB900 in the next city, so I immediately went and saw it. Except some small scratch on the crankcase and wind screen it was flawless. Don't know 100% of course, but feel that it was really a stand fall not an accident. It's price is half as the CB1000R, comes with a huge tail bag which I like.
And here is my dilemma: in two weeks I'll have my birthday. Which one would you chose? Ride now at half price with an old love or wait (most probably 2 months) for the new love (what needs to be retuned a bit: mirrors, maintenance stand, etc)?
And it is good to be here.
Thanks,
