This is my daily driver as i dont have a car. Had a VFR800i for 14 years and decided to sell along with a CBR 600F that i had. I have had so many bikes over the years and managed to pick up a CB500X with 2000 kms on it for very little money. I drove it for 4 years then decided to trade in for a brand new one. I have put 15000kms up on it in a year. I am going to trade it in again in a few months as i am getting a great trade in price. So thats it for me a CB and an LC. I know the bike is filthy but i dont sit there and throw sugar at them i use this bike for commuting shopping going to the squash club you name it. Some say they are underpowered but you can drive them on and i havent had points on my licence in 7 years so hey must be good. P.s thats my dogs bed bungeed on the back lol. Pete

This was the CBR when i sold it to a mate. Unfortunatley the bike got stolen and i bought it again with the intention of doing a couple of race outings. As you may know racing is cancelled in southern Ireland due to insurance reasons so i sold it on again. The bike wasnt like this when i got it back the second time. lol

Great bike i raced one a good few years back in the pre 1997 class. I paid 250 quid for it and made a good race bike. I have some pictures somewhere i will dig them out and post them if i can find them.

It's all you need. We chase >200bhp superbikes etc and this is everything & more that most if us mere mortals will ever need!
It is quite entertaining though scaring ourselves silly on occasions!

Found it. My uncle bought it new and I had it when it was 4 I think. Mileage was 1664 when I got it. Cracking bike.
