Swung my leg over one of these at weekend(mid life crisis) i'm quite tempted and the missus likes the pillion. Any one rode one wanting unbiased opinions....[img][img]http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i261/ ... cb1300.jpg[/img][/img]

Cheers, can't bear to move from the big'H tho. Spoke to a few owners but they will be biased. Still hagglin with the dealer yet but gonna take a test spin next week. Tryin to see weather I can afford to run the Storm as well caude it will be a big wrench to part company after seven years.

It was between the cb and the zrx when I was looking for a "muscle bike" eventually got a zrx 1200r, both cracking bikes, though the zrx just edged it on looks for me

My old elr

I think the half faired ones are great. When my TDM is due to be replaced I'll look at one of these for distance work.

Amazing bikes, especially in the new pearl red and white with gold wheels.

0% finance at the moment and best of all, exhaust, K&N and PCIII can give you up to 20bhp!!!

I'd buy one tommorow if I could, they would run in the fast group of any track day no problems.

Nah, sold it about 18 months ago

Cracking tool, handled well for it's bulk

Mine had a full akra and was making 130 at the rear, pulled like a train from 1500 revs, cool as a cucumber, would have another one
