I'm amazed at how much difference its made!!! I'm not kidding its like its gained 100cc! I now get why people rave about how nippy these are!

Took it out in the pouring rain. Went by the office And then went grocery shopping and to the post office. No other bikers out today. Just me and the TMax. Quite enjoyable.

Yup, thats what I'm heading home to check...

Had new fuel pump fitted [free of couse] by Honda Maidstone,got letter last week saying that it was in a recall,so off I went boy did it rain.Got there at 9.0 Bloke said 1/2 hour,30 mins later,got no pump in stock so they took it off from sh125i scoot in showroom. I don't care.
10 Mins later they said."Have you got the top-box key." No says I..???????????? But we need it to replace pump..???????????????????
Now when I got the scoot ,I took off the new silver top-box,and used the old black sh300i [ex roadrunner] top-box,i never lock it,cos I don't no how [Roadrunner does]
So 125 scoot is in bits,1 know "can I use your Demo CB500F"
So I did,very nice Light gears 6-/Clutch/revs nice/only to 8500..???
Brakes nice [A.B.S For Stephen C.] Everything is Just Honda Get on it and ride.Some people don't like this but I do.
Got home went back on M-2 Over Medway Bridge ,was it windy,only went up to 70 M.P.H.Got back
They said "Do you fancy taking out the Demo Forza Scoot".No its to small/to ugly/and I don't like F/F Riding postion..??????
So wouldi buy 1..???????????
1[ Need proper bike boots to change gear.
2[ Cos of going quicker,need newer helmet.Got 1 still in box that I bought last year...???
3[Honda,s other CB500 But the X Version,Now have to test ride this Model..???? Its in tormorrow..???????????
I Did like it,who needs more B.H.P.[its got [47 b.h.p]Its enough Wouldn't buy a new 1 though,the 1st service for ALL CB500 Models is over £350.Bloody hell,but Honda is looking ..????
P.S iTS Been over a year now since I pulled a clutch/changed gear I Do miss it.

Richie, when my CB500x went in for it's first service i asked about this Very High cost of an oil and filter change They told me it is NOT written in stone that the tappets HAVE to be done it is only Honda asking the dealers to keep an eye on the tappet with it being a New engine design. They only have to listen to them and if a bit clunky to adjust them. My service was £90..and it's a crackin little machine.
