After reading many reviews and doing my research , i decided to look at the Triumph Speed Triple or the Honda cb1000 ( AKA the Big One). After test riding a few pigs of triples, and a couple of good ones, i came across two CB1000's. Both were beauties and it was a hard choice....between the Honda's. I was and still am smitten.

The Big One has certainly got more character than the sports bike, although its ...

I bought my 'big one' as a running resto after way too many sportbike accidents and near misses. I was initially concerned about what other riders would think about my choice as it was so heavily slated by the press on release (?) after 3 years I have finally found a bike to obsess over..the best way to describe it to other more experienced riders would be erm... probably an FJ1200 that handles It does absolutely everything with loads of gorgeous surging torque. It is surprisingly light on the move and benefits from new 4-1 pipe and K&N. rubber is pricey as 18" rims and the niggling thing is there are very few 'custom' parts available like there are for the ...
