My Spyder Has A New Friend...

[daveinva]

New 2014 Honda CB500F... picked her up Saturday. Intent is to replace my 2007 Ninja 250 once I can move that bike on Craigslist (GF isn't happy there are now THREE bikes in the driveway... I told her I can't help it, they keep following me home! :joke.

Anyway, I've been surprised at how much I enjoy two-wheels. DEFINITELY not enough to ever give up Spyders, but I love having both options for whenever the fancy strikes me. Variety is indeed the spice of life! (Again-- don't tell my GF that ).

:clap: They are a REAL nice-looking alternative to Kawi's Ninja 5... :2thumbs:
Ifhad a left ankle that worked better; I'd be lobbying for one of those to fill unused garage space!

It's been a real eye-opener in comparison to my Old Crappy Ninja (TM). It just *works*-- fuel-injected, quiet as a whisper, torquey and smooth as butter. I know the new Honda 500s and the 700 get dinged by reviewers who call them soulless and boring-- Honda motorcycles, brought to you by the makers of the Civic and the Accord!-- but there's something to be said for predictable competency in a bike. If I want crazy, I've got the Spyder to make me crazy. :thumbup:

The only thing I don't like about it is the suspension needs upgrading, but all stock suspensions do. Saving my pennies, always saving those pennies...
