the NC's and RC's you own are perect.

Fun, small, light, reliable, no need for kicking them over like 2-smokes, handle well, comfortable if only ridden for short distances, etc etc .............

I can't think of a bike that would be better!!!

For you, and me now, then yes.
I am looking at what to ride in a few years, [70 is looming], best sort something out now, make a choice then start looking/renovating.

Thanks,
That reminds me, a friend in the next village had his Desmo on the stand last year and was out riding it Sunday.
I will speak to him.
I plan to be at Stafford for 3 days.

Not sure if they're sold new in the uk, I'm sure some greys will be along sometime soon!



Edit: Dang! Neo beat me to the naked 400 suggestion. Great minds and all that....

Haha yeah we posted the same bike :D

The ZXR400 is great (Drew's bike with the FCR's sounds great.. lovely ticking sound) plus it's reliable and comfy.

That Super'Bol-dor (CB400) is awesome.. I might buy one over here sometime, even though I have a full bike liecnece a modern EFI 400 is goign to be more than enough for what I use it for... :D

what about a black bomber cafe racer?

Now we are getting closer, that's what I used to ride, only British.

My 350K4 was sold to a racer [The Imberg father and son] who converted and raced it in production and open class.
I did some work on a friend's Read Titan CB77 a while ago.

Dave. From the sublime to the rediculous.

How about a Morini 3 1/2 sport or strada? Lovely looking little bikes

how about a nice cb500 four early seventies model original 4 pipes lnot the garish later 550 sport they made alongside the cj250/360 and cb750 f1 ?

The older bikes are too much hassle compared to a modern bike.

Plus most of the new modern EFI / Vtec small bikes are light weight and super reliable.
