Hi yep ABS and the combined braking thingy. It work surprisingly well too. Not a patch on the CB Radial set up, but I've done a few straight line brakes test to get a good feel etc and i like the ABS and the combined brakes. On Friday i was out and we had torrential rain all be it for 20 mins etc, i tried the brakes on a few bends and stopping straight from speed in the rain and i have to say its very confidence inspiring.

I am totally amazed at the so called budget suspension mostly though, it holds a line fantastic, isn't sloppy etc but itsnt to bad at handling generally. It tramps on and feels just so easy to ride fastish. It aint pretty, but Iam happy that i still have a bike along with the 3 cars in the family!!!! I took the Atom out the other day and it felt so fast, having that with a bike is great so can't complain really. Were off the France at the end of July to give it a touring test so to speak. Iam away next week on it in Tunbridge Wells for the week, i hope to make Devon on the following Sunday. The pipe and slippers fit easily in the back box

Good job with the cleaning there Paul It looks amazing

Chris.

considering it was such a shitter when i got it, it needs some TLC, but the Bilt Hamber stuff is truly amazing. theres still some bits i need to do, the wheels are badly scratched but nothing that wont wait till winter. Wheels will be coming off and the swing arm checked.

I did see a CBF with the CB 1000r SSSA the other day, thats always an option I can't disguise the fact that the basic bike is bloody amazing for a budget type bike. Probably the comfiest bike I've ever ridden. we did 234 miles the other day and it was totally comfy. Ive adjusted the bars and the seat a bit. The wife feels secure with the box and panniers on. France at the end of the month. Hoping to make Devon Sunday after being away all this week.

See, I told you to keep hold of that SSSarm paddock stand

O can sing it's praises enough, but it would be good to ride a standard example. Mine has ohlins rear shock and uprated gel seat, that makes is super comfy.
