it is old looking. new CBF 2004 is **** great. you want us all to dump the old cb´s and buy the brand new CBF??? the engine at low range is frankly pathetic, have I got to tune it so that it really seems to be 500???? when wind blows you better not drive your CB500s... you will be carried awaaaayyyyy!!!! the rear springs are so hard that you better drive in new pavement or your but will cry "ouch"!! the brakes are just regular... **** why the hell do I like my CB500s so much?
