This is my main ride - 1998 CBR100F - it has since got a full set of Givi luggage.

Nice bike. This was my previous bike -an earlier CBR1000F. I really liked that bike.

Off topic (but cool topic) apology... I am afraid not; it was an awesome bike, and I enjoyed riding it, but I am now a father of three kids under 8 and an ultra-marathoner, so I wanted to avoid the bumps and injuries that can sometimes go along with commuter riding - no matter how careful. See pic.

Nice lean angle.

I know what you mean. I stopped riding for 20+ years when my son was young - then he gave me his old GS850 when he bought his first XJR1300.

The attachment is a letter I wrote to Two Wheels mag in 2001.

Now I have his last XJR1300. Blue ones are faster.

Nice, yeah, it is a great machine to ride. Cheap to buy now, and plenty of 'Bang for buck'. Typically Honda - smooth, tight & well finished. The looks of this machine seemed to polarise peoples opinions a bit, but I love 'em. It carts my fat arse around no problems, and is comfy enough to do 4 of 5 hours in the saddle without killing me. Not quite as comfy as my old XJ900, but much better performance, handling, brakes, umm everything.....

Got mine for a steal from my mate who did his licence for a second time on it - 3 days after he got it back from loosing it the first time, and on his first outing on it since getting his licence back. I think he was doing about 180 in an 80 zone - woops...

We had a lot of fun over a couple of years, but we've settled back onto four wheels again.

I remember seeing similar (or possibly the same?) pics in LROCV magazines years ago... (The LROCB had a reciprocal arrangement to exchange club magazines). Great pics.
