What bike before CBF and why CBF?

Bross,

"LOL, the BMW your midlife crisis?"

Nah not really, bit too early for that!

My brother in law went to work abroad and I was between bikes.

He had the BM (horrible smoky metallic green/black colour) and said I could have it when he found his contract would be extended for four years, so I rode it for year and sold it on for him after that.

Oh and the CB750FC might have been an FD can’t remember! Best thing about it was I paid £1750 for it brand new, rode it for 13 years (money was tight) and then when I traded it in for the CB500, I got a bike that was as fast and more economical, plus £900 trade in, as the 750 had turned into a Jap Classic!

Doubt that will happen again!

Forgot to say I got the Biffer on the basis of Reviews and a test ride.

The guy in the shop had all the paper work ready when I got back and we did the deal in five minutes!

He later told me that he had never had anyone take out a Biffer and not buy it!
