I kept up with Statto and DaveC on my _restricted_ CB5 (which managed
just over the ton).

 

Do you want a go on mine?

 

I think you'll find that they weren't trying too hard.

Or maybe you're a riding god and they're really really shit.

 

Heh. There is a distinct possibility.

Somewhere in a parallel universe....

The CB500 would be absolutely perfect for you in every respect, and funnily
