    My new bike :)

    OK - my 12 year old bike

    Finally got soooo pissed off with my 125's lack of welly and pissy little gearbox that I abandoned my 'no big bikes - you'll get yourself killed' mantra and booked the DAS. So got the bike - just need to be able to legally ride it now

    Anyway - tis a humbe CB500 but I think it looks good (I love British racing green) and I've got a 'standard round' halogen headlight on order to replace the awful streetfighter bidge the owner before last did.

    Looks nice apart from the headlamp. Have they really been making CB500s for 12 years now? I can clearly remember James Toseland winning the first CB500 cup.....

    P.S. how much, if you don't mind me asking? I might need to get a bike soon for commuting, and planned on just finding a scabby old CB125- what 125 was it you got fed up with?

    Edit: I meant CG125
