Took the little Honda out for a run today, odd little thing....quite different to what i`m used too. Front brake is excitingly inadequate, the rear brake doesn`t much :o
The Beamish Trial will be an interesting 120miles :-\

I don't do brakes on small bikes Bash it through the box
I love riding small bikes you have to think about what your doing and were your going and all at half the speed.
It's surprising how far you can go on a small bike

As you've probably found out already, the CB175 is a cracking little bike, loves to be revved to the red line, actually seems to thrive on it ;D, capable of 80+mph even two up, and handles really well. In fact I'd go as far as to say that in town traffic they can make a 750 look rather silly. The only word of caution I have is change the oil regularly, no more than 1000 miles between changes, 500 miles is better, they don't hold a lot so it soon gets dirty. Enjoy riding it, and if you set the front brake up properly it should be almost as good as a cb200 front disc brake. ;D ;D

With good shoes, cable and set up properly the front brake should be good as its a TLS

Had one loved it to bits a right thrashing bike and as hairygit says change oil regular did not break the bank cos it held not alot.
