 ... just 5'9" and weigh about 13 stone, and it was an ideal tool for me, able to get both feet on the deck. The only problem I had was the windblast. The bike is "restricted" to 112mph by means of the kmph speedometer, but if you fit a KMPH to MPH adapter (about £30) this is removed as the speedo doesn't get that far up the clock. After this I got an indicated 135 mph on a track day, even allowing for speedo inaccuracies, this is still around 120 ish mph. The tank holds a good 3.5 gallons, good...more

Premium Review Other Honda...: XBR 500 (157 words)

My first big bike was a Honda XBR500. It appealed because it was a big single, had almost no bodywork, and a minimalist style, harking back to the days of the classic British big singles. Except, of course, being a Honda it started with an electric foot, it didn't drip oil, and as I said above - it actually started every time! The design of the bike included a large, bulbous tank, low bars, and a hard and narrow seat - the ideal recipe for an uncomfortable ride. The seat was soon reshaped, and my back soon learnt to adjust to the position, and for the first time I soon developed neck and shoulder muscles to cope with the windblast generated by an unfaired ...

I've had two of these bikes now, my first one I bought to get me in the swing after a 20 year gap from motorcycling. The last bike I owned was a Yamaha RD250 with dodgy barrels and pistons, so I figured that if I bought a similar sized engine bike it would be well within my "experience envelope". A four cyl inline 4 399cc 6 speed bike it was to be. the 4 into 1 exhaust sounds glorious, and if you pull all the badges off it, you get lots of people asking what it is! I got something of a shock though, a 1989 model grey import, it made something like 52 bhp, was like sitting in an armchair, and pulled wheelies like it was made for it. I am smallish, ...

"I didn't know Honda made sewing machines". Well they do and they put wheels on them! Get it really revving and Honda's CB-1 will make you think you're astride that sewing machine and it'll bring a grin to your face like few bigger bikes can. Its not really quick, only pulling through to about 115, but its the way the engine gets you there that'll make you smile...The geardriven cams, the legacy of its CBR400 heritage, spin and make a noise that other lesser equipped bikes can only dream of. Not much happens below 5-6000 on the rev counter, it'll beat the cages away from the lights but a hard ridden 125 could well embarrass ...
