You Lucky Little LAMS

CB500, the epitome of a motorcycle.
I prefer the styling of the older model but that's because I'm an 'older model'. The fact is, it is everything most people will ever need in a motorcycle, you may want more from your ride but arguably you will not need any more. It is swift, handles well, economical, carries two, low insurance, low rego, reliable etc. Not the bike of dreams for sure but practically perfect as two wheeled transport.

I hope they bring them in, as a bike to learn your craft on in NZ , with just enough of everything to keep life interesting, Cb500 ?, I reckon

Explain what the point is of a motorcycle that isn't quite what it's suppose to be?

Is there an emerging niche market of people who want to go off road, but not quite off road?

I know why they look cheap, cause they are, to keep costs low. And they look tacky cause they look like a toy of a real motorcycle, the RR looks like a cartoonists impression of a real cbr.

But they'll sell like hot cakes if in LAMS.
