Glad to hear that the CBR is leaving an impression on you too Matty!

That CBR has left "impressions" everywhere.....

worst case i had was KX125 that didnt start - so i had to walk home. Which was lucky cos i saw 3 cops on way home.
went back the following day and mechanic found out that the sparkplg had died. But i picked up my RG - and she flew so i was all happy.
Best was the 955 when my bike lost it fairings on a corner by my dads.
been promised a blat on a 200hp busa from a mates shop in the states if i got no transport while im there

Best:Probably the one thats left the biggest impression on me is a 996S Ducati.
What a bike!

I was trying to angle Todd towards the 996 in the shop but he wasn't having a bar of it.

I've found at least 2 redeeming features on the cbr 1) a good steering lock and 2) the battery works well when you're trying to start the mofo at 6am and the freakin choke is all over the show.

All I can say is I'll be looking forward to getting my bike back today.

The worst is a toss up between a Suzuki B120 with no rear (bouncey, bouncey, bouncey) damping, and a ZZR600 that weaved at 50km/hr and felt like the swingarm was flexing 3 or 4 feet as you tipped into corners.

I've never had a loaner that was "good".

ahhh... the choke.... brilliant piece of engineering that.... never used it and it still started ('cept when the wiring was FuX0red)

Best,a 350Goose with about 100kms on it(heaps of fun)

Yep, my favorite too and I was always lucky enough to get some good ones... GS1200SS, SV1000, GSX1400.

The worst was a 400 Bandit. Ran out of gas on the motorway on the way to work. No worries, just switch to reserve.... wot f..kin' reserve?
