Saul Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Had a productive morning, won't mention the house work part least you see the thumb print, after that got the top box fitted to the Himalayan. I am not sure if I can live with it yet, fits fine just part of me sees it as a hideous carbuncle rather than useful storage. Price was obviously right as I bought it 12 years ago and it wasn't a premium purchase (read cheapest I could find) back then. Then went out for a bimble up To Damerells to look at the pretty shiny. I am guessing they have just had a RE delivery as there was loads in the showroom. I saw a really lovely Beemer that tickled my fancy plus a new Z900 that wasn't too shabby. Saw a nice looking Harley as well but how many letter do you need to describe it . To lovely old CBX's on display there although well up out of reach. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 They always have decent stock there, I didn't snap the half of it just what interested me. They did have a couple of Africa twins that looked great but I couldn't have one so they don't hold my interest much. They had a Kawasaki W800 there but I was disappointed with it in the flesh, as that is my sort of bike normally. I did like the R Nine T though I could see myself on that if I had a spare 9K hanging around and a garage to put it in. Top Boxes, Meh, water off a ducks back mate 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yes without doubt the original is a work of art. But if you or I did own one it wouldn't get ridden much for various reasons, if you had a new one though it would be silly not to ride it 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 A mate of mine had a silver CBX1000 identical to that unfaired one back in the day. Nice bike to ride, but my XS1100 had more grunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
