Wow, we pay for weight and performance - the Ferret - 07-31-2013
So what's new right?
Just finished reading the test of the new Honda CB 500F. 4.1 gal tak (2/10 more than ours) .... Estimated range 270 miles....
Then again it only makes 45 hp and 30 ft lbs of torque
The CB is totally worth it to me...I'll just stop at the gas station a little more

I possibly could go for that cb500X. I looked one over pretty good the other day. Would be my kind of winter rainmobile. But my garage is full and the cb1100 is way better anyway.

I read that Dos Equis is working on a new ad that has "The World's Most Interesting Man" riding up to a South Beach bar and loading two supermodels on the back of his CB1100. Apparently there's some controversy over promoting unsafe riding.

How would you fit 2 more people back there? They must be skinny

Hello! They are Super Models!
I was hoping Honda came out with a 450-500 twin that looked like the CBR250. With round analog gauges.
Or perhaps a 450-500 parallel twin styled a lot like our CB1100's, or more like the original CB450 that was out in the early 70's.
I suspect if they did I'd have to get one; but I don't really need more bikes.

Hi ferret,
Did you get to see /sit on a naked honda 500f? I have a suzuki 500f that my kids occasionally wreck err ride - it has the sport bike lean that makes long rides uncomfortable. I wondr if the 500 'nf' has a neutral ride position. I have seen the cbr500's but not the naked version.
Thks!
