Hi guys, I’m a newbie to this forum, I live in South Wales and have been riding bikes since I was 16. Currently riding a Suzuki 650 VStrom but I am seriously considering a new CB1100EX.
Which kinda brings me to my first advice question, would it be wise to buy the said motorcycle without a test ride (due to lockdown restrictions in Wales) or should I wait? The biggest bike I’ve ridden was my Honda CBF1000 which I liked but it became problematic, so I part exchanged it for the Suzuki.
Any advice would be most welcome, and thanks for this great forum.
Cheers,
John
