Buying myself a bike. Help please!

haha yeah I would love to but my license doesnt allow.

I like the look of the new CB500F, pretty decent price as well. Anyone know about it? upsides? downsides?

Initial reports seem quite positive:

what the hell is CFMOTO... some guy trying to sell me a 650NK, looks pretty sweet but its rather cheap and I've never heard of it. Thoughts??

Basically it's a chinese clone of an er6. I've read a couple of articles about them, usually saying they're pleasantly surprised at how good they are. Hard to say how they'd hold up long term, though.

It's CB, not CBR. And CB was around long before the R came along.

My bad - thought the reference was to the cbr500 lams.

Smokeu will be along shortly suggesting you 'buy a 'busa'.

Bad advice.
