i almost bought an '05 GS500 to start on. just didnt happen. few months later i got the F1! from what i have heard the gs500 is a great bike to learn on, its got some speed, and it wont kick your *** like a new 600 will.

 

How bout a Buell Blast? Everything on that bike seems good. The styling, the brakes, the chassis/handling... may concern would be that 492cc single cylinder engine.... Is that going to be slow as hell? Bike weighs 360lbs -- "claimed 30 ft-lbs of torque at 5,500 rpm and 34 hp at 6,500 rpm" -- seems very gutless . Do the harley engine make power differently than other jap bikes? They torque make it up a little bit?

 

Ok, I figured out what I want.. What do you guys think?

An older CB 400-500-550-750

Something in the early 70s with a kick start. Going to lower it, put a new seat on it. and get some Cafe handle bars.

My question is,, whats the difference in those cbs?? is it just engine displacement, or are there other difference. Can someone give me a good link for a detail discription of cbs? or does someone here have loads of info?

What are the power differences? what are the motors? 2-3-4 cylinders? how much do these bikes weigh?

Anyone have one for sale?

HONDA POWER!~

 

I just got this bike as a birthday present from my girlfriend, gonna give it a good cleaning seems to run real good though
