Ohhh! Get it quick Monty!!!!!

Hope you haven't stripped too many parts off yet.

Looks good and back on the road for not much more than a price of a service got to be a good idea.

Thanks spud, much as I'm very tempted and that's the first 650 engine on eBay for 12 months, I'm not going to bother for two reasons.

First and most importantly, over the last 11 months I haven't managed to find any time to even strip my bike down so very unlikely I'd find the time to rebuild it.

Secondly it's 10 years old and for most of those years it's been ultra reliable. The last three however have been one issue after another and I've spent more time fixing it than riding it.

My life with 4 young kids, a full time job and a wife that runs her own business starts at about 6.30am and I'm finished by around 10pm the rest of the day is mine!

I need a bike that sits in the garage on an optimate that needs and MOT once a year and starts on the button when I want to use it.

Just like that one!

You need a Honda Monty

My cbr was bulletproof. I shouldn't have sold it.

I'd second that. Our cbr600rr is like a Swiss watch.

All my Hondas have been reliable and a lad on 1000rr has a reliable 80k Blade.

Loads of cheap spares and bling available for CBR six's too.

Nah, sod all of that Monty, get an 899! hee, hee :-)

Cornish does make a good argument against the Honda

What the latest thoughts Monty ?

He does indeed!

£1305.00 in the bike fund so far. I need another £1195.00 before I'm in the 50/50 interest free finance option on a 5k bike, or I get my bonus in January which is mine ALL MINE!

Not really thought about the CBR before not sure why to be honest. However the new bike will probably be the newest, best nick, lowest mileage Honda/Yamaha/kawasaki 600 available at the time.

Well the kwacker is the one then as I have to day £5k will buy you a minter going by JTs one Monty.

Good plan Monty, best nick, lowest mileage etc.....as there all good bikes.

Just a note Monty ... A mate of mine is the Area Manager for J&S in Northwich.

When your ready, if theirs anything in there stock you fancy then let me know ... I'm sure I'd be able to get a deal for you
