Getting paid to ride a motorbike. Isn't life funny!

The work bike is the best 'performance upgrade' around for the non-work bike.

When I used to commute daily on the CBR250, the SV1000 always felt like a rocket when I rode it on the weekend.

The 600 sure feels like a rocket after hopping off the postie bike. Just feels like it wants to spit me off whenever I try to go around a corner. Don't know why but possibly something to do with the centifugal force of the heavier tyres/wheels. The CT is just so nimble and chuckable. I can even do a U turn in my double garage without putting a foot down.

Hmmm. Well this is an unintended consequence. I'm seriously thinking of selling my 600 as the only times I've ridden it in the last 4.5 months are brief rides just to keep the battery charged and to turn the engine over. I do 600kms a week on the CT which is a hoot and with what me and Mrs Oakie get up to in the weekend, I just don't ride in the weekend. With insurance and registration alone, it'll cost me a grand a year to have sitting in the garage. (I get to keep the CT at home and use it for the commute.)


What a conundrum!

You're really liking that Honda then? I know its not a Super Cub but I also hope you are nice enough not to be spoiling that "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" jingle:

Here's a longer version of the old Honda adverts:

My 600 gixxer doesn't feel like it's trying to chuck me off going round corners...specially with S21 tyres on.
