Topic: My latest trusty steed

The latest addition ;











...it's done less than 11k miles and is in really good condition. Runs really quiet & smoothly, so much so that on the way home from buying it I wrongly thought it had stalled at the lights  .Not bad for a "P" reg bike.

Seems a shame to subject it to a 72mile commute every day and getting it covered in crud 

Hopefully the Honda build quality will shine through

very smart looking machine Karl - so exactely where will you fit the Hi Vis mask 

only joshing mate, imo it has a sort of 'retro kish' look, but not straying into the 'custom bike' arena.

looks a good buy, and being a Honda you do have excellent build quality.

That is a really nice bike Karl, sports bike are nice, but should be kept for the track, this is the sort of everybike bike that is a joy to ride, its what I would get. Like that you got the C5Alive sticker on already.

Retro Andy.

Cheers guys 

My only worry is how long it will keep shiny once it's been through a few winters worth of salt and crud

I managed to sell my XJ900 Diversion so I now have space in my garage for "Dave" ,the c5 that was sitting in my dining room.

When I look at the purchase price of the Honda and deduct the sale price of the Yamaha, I find the cost of changing over from the XJ900 (with 64k miles)to the CB750 (with 11k miles) was £250.

Quite happy with that
