I bought my CBF in January 2014. So far done 2,300 or so miles on it. I normally ride out on a Sunday, sometimes just a few miles, sometimes a couple of hundred. For what I use it for its ideal. Little country lanes and back roads, where if need be I can almost pick it up and turn it around. I did say almost On the couple of times I have taken it out onto fast dual carriageways, it maintains 60 ish on the flat. I try to find a HGV I can sit behind, keeping his mirrors in sight, and dawdle along in his wake! Reliability has been first class without any of the problems you read about and no sign of the rust issues that have been reported. Averaging 130 MPG plus and its such an easy bike to ride. Having said that I have come off twice!! Rider error on slippy back roads at slow speed of both occassions so cant blame the bike There is a little part of me that wants to do a bit of tour on it before I change up, Scotland calls, and if my finances do not improve before next Spring I might just do it on the little 'un !! Great little bike which I would recommend from my limited experience of motorbiking.
