    David Edwards from Cycle World bought a CBX-B as a sports tourer years ago. Basically I think because he always wanted one, so his "I love this bike" is a bit biased.

    Well, my man servant who follows dutifully behind in the Bentley, incase the weather starts to look worrisome and we wish to swap places or i just want to cuddle the good lady in the backseat while the driver follows the manservant.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    why, the six sounded nice, like a mk3 zephyr at idle, heard a drysdale V8 once, wasn't nice to me two many, would suspect a v12 to be the same, so many pipes it lost it's character

    You want a VTwin for real character. Principally a NSR500V.

    Sounds like two CR250s drag racing each other.

    Nah! I heard that Ferrari V12 last year the NZGP was at Ardmore. Pat Hoare's IIRC. It sounded great.

    Nice, another big hunk of motorcycle.... around 79/80 one was entered for Bathurst with Gary Thomas on board.
    Might have been pipped by a CB900 Hatton (Tony) on the line ? Good scrap tho !

    You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
    If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..
