for Vincent) went down to the local Motorcycle shop, which he did used to work for many years ago, before it got taken over and made some enquiries.
Everyone never wants to take a step back they always want to go forward. Obviously another 350cc would not please Vinnie he has to go one step further. He asked Tony who is part owner of the shop about the new HondaCBR600F. Like all salesmen and women it is their job to sell a product and my dad was well and truly convinced about the bike.
Now convinced it was the right bike for him it was now onto the second phase. Bare in mind this was all spur of the moment and he was just looking for a new bike possibly to invest in sometime in the near future, he asked what type of part exchange deal he could get. His old bike was now 10 years so it was not the most valuable item he owned.

Advantages: The build quality and speed. Disadvantages: If you are young the insurance is high.
I have recently bought a HondaFireblade and it is as good as they say.I used to have a GSXR750 but always wanted a 'Blade'.I had a look around at a few examples and settled for a 1995 model in the black and burgundy colours.It is a bike that when ridden will have you smiling even in the rain and cold.The sheer speed of it is amazing,it turns heads and easily cruises at 100mph plus.I'm not going to say how fast I have been on mine but you have to be careful of speed cameras.The ride position is very good and the miles fly by you would need to drain the tank of petrol and refil it before the numb bum point is reached.I should add that I get roughly a hundred and twenty miles from a tank without hitting the reserve.I put in about seven pounds worth of petrol to get this.I'm told that the newer models can manage a little more on a tank ...

I am now considering replacing my bike, and I can’t think of any other choice other than a newer model CBR600, an FX or FY. Deep down I think I want an R6 or GSXR600 (or, if I forget about running costs - an R1 or GSXR1000), but I don’t think either will still shine after a couple of winters use and how strong will the engine feel after 40,000 miles? CBRs hold their value well and when looking for one the condition and history is more important that low mileage, and as there are so many about you should be able to find a good one. ...
