new bike coming

First topic message reminder :

Didn't really know where to post this, so took the plunge and posted it here. Got quite a good price for the Honda CBF1000 GT, so its gone, ordered a new machine for delivery next Feb. Chris Eddie and a couple of others know what it is, but might surprise a few more when they see it.

Are you buying my old one?

Someone hasn't been paying attention

Morning Dave (do try and keep up at the back)

I'm confused...... no one has mentioned the F800 GS yet - the GT yes - Ellie mentioned that one! I has been paying attention M'Lud

I stand corrected sir

Half fancied one of them 1200 GS thingies, but way too tall for this little fella, are you sure they do one with a 760mm seat?

PS Which of your 3 bikes that you might sell is actually a runner Rosco?

Oh Yes, and 2" Elton John platform boots . . . . Yeah !, Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Mm interesting, perhaps a tad to heavy for me in the twilight of my youth, that and the height is why I disposed of my FJR, wish I was taller, slimmer and younger and I would still be astride my beloved FJR. Bike of the century for me.

I'm sure you'd still show us all a clean pair of heals on anything Tez, - even a mini moto

One of these with a low seat option - it's got a shaft drive, pretty certain that will be a prerequisite.

Oooh , Face off . . .  decisions,  decisions Trophy or Beemer

Hot hot burning hot, but not quite there.

Right, so my nose is heading shaft drive, maybe Hinckley, maybe Munich, maybe elsewhere ....

Doubt it's Yamaha's way, Honda - umm maybe, but probably not. Liked the Tracer for a few minutes, right but not quite ...

I wasn't going to play this game, but one more stab at pinning the tail on the donkey


The 800cc version of this

Being a Leicester lad, I'd pin my hopes on Hinckley being the winner

Is it this???

Didn't know they did a 800 version with shaft drive, but anyway it isn't a Triumph. Good try though.

Or one of the chuffing great BMW 1600 straight sixes?

Still got it

Is it a Suzuki as I don't think your that bothered on Beemer's

Cooling down rapidly, no Rob its not a Suzuki.

Is it a genuine 760mm seat height or is it lowered for short arse's ?

Factory option

I know it's not shaft driven, but, well I suppose it's worth a punt

No idea if there's a factory option for the Tez Von Shorthausens of this world though

It might have been an option, with a low seat, really like the spec tho. But shaft drive is an imperative you are so hot you're almost on fire. come on Tel you're almost there.
