Bike safely in the garage. Very pleased!

Thanks guys.  Yes I’m convinced! I do see it as a hobby as well as for the joy of riding.
I think I just had my head turned briefly by a younger model in a nice black outfit!
I am talking about the bike 😬

Just been to look at a Honda CB1100 at Not your average bike in Ossett which has really thrown me. It’s a 2015 model (the retro one) and it was lovely! For about 1K more than I would pay for the CB500. 5 owners in 7 years seems odd? I know it would be immediate excommunication from the forum with a chorus of boos  but i have to think what’s right for me. I missed out on a classic (when they weren’t classics) in the 70s and in trying to experience that now am I making a mistake? Should I seriously consider the CB1100 or go with my heart for the classic? Has anyone got or ridden a CB1100? I know only I can make the decision ultimately but I would be grateful for any thoughts. Cheers.

Hello,

I’ve recently registered and the site looks great.

At the age of 63 I’ve decided to get into biking. I did ride a Honda CG125 on L plates for a year or so, but that was 40 years ago!
I wish I’d done it sooner, but what with bringing up a family and work commitments it hasn’t been possible, not to mention a lack of cash! Anyway I passed my theory in August and have my CBT this Saturday so there no stopping me now (the wife’s not keen at all though )
I’ve been like an excited puppy looking at classic Hondas for a few months and I hope to look at one of the members’ CB500 four in a couple of weeks that he has for sale on here.
I’ve been agonising over classic v modern as I want something of interest that I can pamper and polish, but ride to the coast if I want, with a better than even chance of getting home again 
Nice to join the group and I hope I can contribute and learn from you guys

Bye for now
Malc.
