Bought a CBF1000F ABS last Sept, it had been in a showroom for an awful long time so I reckon it was waiting for me. Slightly apprehensive being 1000cc and I am an older rider but fears soon disappeared within the first 200 yards of riding. Well behaved round town and in traffic and very easy to ride. It was the first bike I have ever ridden where I have been able to get on it and RIDE without having to alter anything. Pretty economical for a big bike and an absolute pleasure when you open it up, its Honda so everything does exactly what it says on the packet. All the reviews are exactly right in every respect and for me its the nuts, the best bike I have every had.
