    Great work as usual Murdo! :)

    Wish I'd been able to make it this year. Unfortunately life got in the way this time around.

    Might be able to make it next year.

    Will definitely try to get involved in any local VJMC events once the dust settles again.

    ok the cbx got 34.3 mpg and that means the tank would be bone dry in 150 miles or240 kms.sounded loud at full cry and acceleration between 60 and 80 mph is phenominal.

    34.3 mpg is about what my ute gets! That's your heavy right hand Risky.
    Bit different to the 70+ that the FT500 does.

    all i can say is pulls like a d9 caterpillar and feels as heavy.one mother of engineering and does it accelarate.braking is a bit of a worry and if you really cane them expect to change a back tyre at around 1500 km,s.looking forward to a luggage rack then riding more regularly.
