Ha, nothing concrete but I would like a twin.
I had a test ride on a R NineT Racer and loved it. I could go to town on one of those, but I really don't have the cash or space for both....
Thinking of picking up something really cheep and different, just to scratch the itch.
There are lots of very reasonable 80's and 90's bikes out there...


Your CB is awesome. As has been mentioned already, I’m really curious how much it weighs now after all you’ve done. With the weight loss and WHP that’s been quoted, I’ve got to think it feels like a totally different bike.

Cost me £3.99 but worth it to read a feature on one of our members CB's
Thanks for the tip off

Thanks, and yep, me too. There is a scrap yard I know with fairly accurate scales, I could pop it down there and see if they'll let me roll it on.

It does feel totally different. There's enough power to weight ratio to make me watch myself. It's easy to lose the back end under hard power now.

On the odd occasion I have really thrashed it and not been paying attention it's surprised me to hit a ton in no time at all...

My pleasure, hope you got something from the rest of the mag. I reckon its a great read. Only problem with it is it makes me start thinking about buying old bikes, which is a habit I'm trying to quit ;-)
