  As an ex-Basildon boy, I'm surprised the pub is still there considering how many pubs have closed in the Pitsea/Basildon area over the years. Can't believe how crap the traffic is there now.

If you slip theres not much give as in "go with the slide" Every time I ride it motorcycle boots (+ofc gloves, helmet, sturdy trousers) well worth the money! Dont blame you for staying clear of Lexmoto. Two Lexmoto I have had required CONSTANT daily checking nuts and bolts are tight. Long distance things can easily drop off... even with lockthread! 😅

  Hi Tommy, glad you have bought a larger Honda, the same as my second bike in 2019. I really loved my 2019 CB500f, but found an annoying buzz at around 65mph. I then went to a privately sourced 2019 Yamaha Tracer 700, and the differences were substantial. 3 more kg and 25 more HP makes a big difference! Worth considering if you trade up again. But, the Honda is a great bike, and returned my about 92 mpg! Yamaha about 67MPG. All best for your journey, Robert

  A cautionary tale. A couple of months ago I bought a black CB750 Hornet. In less than 6 weeks and 1,300 miles the tank had many, easily visible, wear marks from my clothing. My warranty claim was rejected as it was deemed as normal wear. So it would appear Honda's paintwork normal wear is under 1,300 miles. I also have wear marks on the frame from changing gear. I had none of these issues on my previous 2008 Honda which I covered 128,000 miles on. I've therefore come to the conclusion the quality of the Honda paintwork these days is not what it used to be. However, the bike is excellent!!!

  wd passing the test, feels great to get that monkey off your back doesnt it :) the cb500f is a great choice, almost every review is positive, and every rider i know who's got one loves it - have to say the first thing i thought about on the vid is the helmet on the saddle rolling off into the road with a gust of wind or road vibration haha.

  @@thesouthernbiker if you mean the honda cb650r, could i be so bold as to suggest that a twin cylinder bike may be a better option for a newly minted rider? i say this because from what i researched and asked, a 4 cylinder has the torque at the high end and isn't as comfortable & easy to ride at lower speeds than a 2 cylinder, when the torque is much lower down in the range that will be used most often, hence better for beginners. maybe someone with more experience than i could say for sure.

  Not the best idea to clean yr chain while bike is running! unless u wanna lose a finger/hand, yr brush can also get jammed real quick, which can make the whole bike jolt, it can fall off center stand, best to move yr wheel by hand, do yr chain a bit at a time and don't forget chain lube.

  Great review! You are lighter than me, mine will do 62mph at a push but I am heavier. It wasn't really run in well until it had done 10,000 miles after which it delivers more power. The front suspension bottoms out when going down steep hills and braking especially if there are pot holes or undulations in the road. At the age of 50 the insurance is much cheaper sort of 100 to 200 quid.

•

  Why are insurance premiums so mad for youngies? I paid £22 for my first bike, an H100 in 1986. Thats like £100 in todays money. What's more, that was a rider policy which covered me on ANY bike. I could've had a go on my mate's 1300cc bike (once I passed my test) or owned ten other 100cc bikes, all for £22!

•

  Edit: you're being unrealistic if you're unhappy with an indicated 60 being your max cruising speed. That equates to prob a genuine 55/56 and that's really good compared to the 125s I started on and those were physically tiny bikes, around 100kg which didn't feel safe for a rider who himself weighs that much!

I used to have a Benelli BN 125 (italian inspired but chinese built) it was great for about 5000 miles brand new then issues occured like the engine light wouldn't turn off despite numourous garage vists, pass to flash stopped working, wouldn't go into neutral half the time, gearbox issues and other eletrical issues. It was a great first bike but due to its chinese brand nature, I only got about 500-1k for it.
