You're the dopey crunt that apparently doesn't know what a K1 is.

Give it a brown seat, a v-twin pointing in the wrong direction, and some beard wax and Fresh Oats will be all over it

Where'd the beard wax come from?

Oh right, the one with the BSA sitting in the back collecting dust.
Black Friday, I work retail, it's been a long fucking day.

This might almost be uglier then that BMW by the way.

Only 90,000 pounds.

Just an upmarket CBR600 - and Honda must have sold around a million of them.

Aaaaand like a bad rash, or a dose or herpies, THIS has just been posted (again) as a "New Item"

We could probs start taking shots every time it gets re-listed.. Would probably end up pissed by lunch time!

Welp, I'd rather have that or a K1 than something like this. Interesting, different, and you can guarantee you won't ride past one coming the other way

https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/mot...c657ee118a1cd4

Complete with trendy seat, yellow headlight, engine pointing in the wrong direction, brown grips, and a desperate need for a wash!

But hey, at least we won't be treading on each other's toes when it comes to buying new machines, hey?

At least it wouldn't induce vomiting at first sight. (tho, well, admittedly, that particular cx500 might.)

Seat sloping backwards. That would get tiresome quickly presumably from wind pressure rather than the acceleration it could muster.

Oh yeah; suspect carb airleak. That goes in the list of excuses for a knackered engine.

Most of the CX500s that have appeared here have had an emetic quality to them. Although not for sale, this one was admired by Neil Spalding who is a writer of matters technical in MotoGP. I'm posting it as an example of what could be, as opposed to the rubbish we see here. Although why anyone would bother?
