yeah .. I do know people who love them - and still ride them ... Yeah - I was probably doing it wrong - after all, the owners all made them turn left ... which showed it was me, not the bike ... (BK - it was sometime back in the 80s ... I've had nearly 30 years more experience on a motorcycle now ... don't need to go back to L plates ...)

I didn't like them enough to get to grips with them ..

All I said was saying that CX500's go alright for what they are is total crap. And it is. They're over weight gutless piles of fucking shit. Even a poxy old Z440 would kill one. RD250/350/400 anyone? T500 for that matter.

Gee Four of those are 2 strokes plus 3 are sports bikes and the forth started as a sports bike (cobra)therefor not comperable. So how many HP were the Z440's again and what top speed . As I said they went all right for what they were and it seems went better than anything comparable Pete can come up with. Also none of those bikes are shaft drive.

I didn't think my CX was too bad, but I'd have my T500's back first.

As were many bikes of the day. But hey...you were there eh? You've been there and done that eh? In your near 30 years in the industry, in six diff shops you've ridden early everything there is to ride eh? Cause I have. So books not included...nor wiki...tell us all about your vast experience in the world of motorcycling? I wouldn't mind betting you've done and ridden fuck all. I still think you're an uptight virgin too.

If you knew as much as you thought you did Pete then you would be dangerous. Although its mildly amusing that you think your own opinion and qualifications are so much higher.
But two dealerships one Honda one Yamaha raced for over 5 years ridden more bikes than I care to imagine, from Villiers shitters to GSXR1000s.
I'm currently building my own two stroke engine from scratch so fuck you with a big stick.

You can't say that Drew Pete says so. Coincidently I had a titan.

**Drew** · 15th October 2015, 18:57

Terrifying fucken things to ride. I had a T and a GT.

Was going to buy an MVX with a titan motor at one point. That would have been good fun.

**Drew** · 15th October 2015, 19:01

I remember riding my CX home one night, with enough chemical enhancement in me to kill a horse.

Was pissing with rain. I can't believe I got away with it, but I discovered that with enough lean on round roundabouts and cracking the throttle I could drift the thing.

Fucked if I'd try that 'straight' though.

That's odd..who are you then? Raced for five years you say? Won what? Wouldn't mind betting I've never heard of you. Building your own two stroke engine you say? That's cool. I won a national title on the one I developed. But what would know?

So you're still a virgin eh?

Nothings odd you are a bikes salesman and they are know to be full of shit, you have no ability to admit you are ever wrong about pretty much anything else so don't start now.
I never achieved much don't care my only claim to fame was doing a street race at 16 and beating Denis chalet once but that was years ago.

I have a virgin ass can you say the same...............with a straight face.

Nah. Bike salesmen that are full of shit don't last long. Ones that tell the truth, know what they're talking about, and can back it up with facts do well. I did very well thanks.

So you're still a virgin right?
