but isnt it funny to send the reservist there? thought all this there will deploy the regulars cos reservist only 2 weeks. but the time you familiar with the everything will have to handover again...

[Eazie]

Hi there guys n gals,

 

Something which I would like to highlight.

 

Few weeks back (during yr Durian Ride) which I could not joined.

 

I was driving (not riding) back from Mersing and I saw a group of S'pore bikers look like mostly S4 riding towards Mersing.

Well u know wat kind of formation they were riding.... it is just like a bunch of grape, yes a bunch of grapes n I saw one of the rider zoom pass them from the left side of the road. IT IS MOST DANGEROUS n Tak ada DISCIPLINE.

 

I am very glad I am riding with u guys as our motto is 'Ride safely n enjoy the ride'

Our formation is staggered formation with marshals, marker sweepers.

 

Many thanks to Alan n the team for their effort in ensuring that we must discipline ourself while riding together in Malaysia.

 

Three cheers!!!!!!!!! :cheer: to ours team.

[smokin]

that's why i like rides that are properly briefed and conducted. regular riders in the Hornets team generally knew what kind of style each other is having which makes it easier and safer.

[anodise57]

wondering if yuzri1984 is talking CB600F or CBF600

http://www.motorbike-search-engine.co.uk/Honda%20Pics/cbf6001.JPG

 

I saw in UK this and CBF500 were very common..... much like our S4 OTR

Mah has this.. I was tempted to change to this when i sold off my s4!! hahaha

 

Europe

midrange 600cc motorcycle class features a broad range of models designed to appeal to nearly all conceivable tastes in riding. From hardcore racerimage sportbikes to laid-back cruisers, bare-bones naked streetfighters and more adventure-oriented dual-purpose bikes, powered by virtually every variation of 4- stroke motorcycle engine made, whether single, twin or four. All, however, tend to direct their basic appeal toward more seasoned riders who have the background in riding skills and experience to make value judgement about what they want and need in a midsize motorcycle.

 

For those relatively new riders who are seeking a step up in performance and excitement from the learner抯 125cc class, or for licensed riders who have been away from the sport for several years, the selection, expense and performance potential of many of these bikes can be daunting. This can be especially true if the rider is smaller of stature or slighter of build, as many or the rapidly growing ranks of new women riders frequently are, making this large step up in displacement and performance seem an exceedingly wide gap to confidently bridge. Tall seats and large proportions can necessarily restrict the number of possible models a shorter and less experienced rider can comfortably choose from, while at the other end of the scale, comfortable mounts for smaller riders can feel inordinately cramped to longer-legged riders who need more room to stretch out.

 

 

The resulting selection can often end up being a bit of a disappointing compromise, as some riders either settle for a machine that may not be particularly to their tastes, or get in way over their heads by choosing a bike that has simply too much size, weight or performance for either their current needs or experience. Faced with these potentially expensive dilemmas, some novice riders make choices they might not have made had there been a 慴etter?alternative, and others simply become intimidated and give up altogether.

 

Honda has watched this familiar scenario with growing interest and not a small amount of frustration over the years, and finally set about to create a new motorcycle that could not only appeal to an even wider range of European riders梟ovice to expert, young to old and short to tall, male or female梑ut establish a new benchmark for European motorcycle 憇tandards?in the midsize class. A new 600cc class machine that provides all the exhilarating style and performance one expects of a sporty standard, but does so with a user-friendly configuration that builds confidence and provides an ample range of performance potential to grow comfortably into.

 

With the ultimate goal of attracting more European riders to the midsize class and motorcycling in general, Honda created the new CBF600 as a new midrange sport standard that offers strong yet easily manageable performance in a configuration that makes fewer demands on a rider抯 ability by being specially designed to adapt to a wide range of rider sizes and levels of experience. A pan-European project, the new CBF600 combines many of the most attractive aspects of the many road bikes Honda currently makes to realise a new standard in the 600cc class that will surely prove to be a major attraction on the roads of Europe in the years ahead.

[Spectrum]

Nice Review Ano...

 

I've read their reports on the Mag...

Gd Bikes.

Kind of like the CBF600 with the Fairings..

There is also a CBF1000 available...

 

But If u are looking for a bit more excitment...

Go for the Hornet 600!

[Spectrum]

Good Morning TP!

Always doing a Great Job of Keeping our Rds Clear... ahem... Thk U.

 

Smokin: The Review for the CBF1000 is pretty much the same as the CBR600...

Too detuned... so the Hornet900F is still a more exciting bike.

I Kinda of Like this Design.. Smart.
