Hello all,
UK based brand new CB500F owner here.
First impressions after the first 100 miles and a proper assessment:
~the bike feels like it's on rails and firmly planted; this is probably helped by the solid wheels after coming from a bike with spoked wheels
~I can take her down to 30 mph without the need to shift down gears (almost like riding a DCT bike and great for a lazier rider like me); excellent torque (although I'll work the gears whilst running in)
~the new tyres are bedding in nicely too.
~very comfy; I could ride this bike on a full tank of fuel without the need to rest / stretch; ergonomics are spot on (for me anyway).
This is going to be one nice bike.
Just need to get the first 600 mile done...
Ride safe.
