They can when said "moped" goes like a scalded cat and can be seen burning off daft old bikers all over the Dales. Steady on sonny or I'll take a ride up the country on the mighty Strom and show you what us "daft old bikers" can really do without a wheelie or knee down in sight. Bring it on! Home turf.

We don't want your kind of riffraff coming up to Richmond tearing the place up, it's a local town for local hooligans! 😬 I had a sit on a 1000 Strom a couple of months ago. Liked it but then I saw cbf 600 sa and a cbf1000 sa and I liked them an all. The 600 has an adjustable seat and even I can get on it. Might get one or the other next year. Trouble is I'll loose my licence. 😇

Do you mean the Strom or the Honda CBF? Everyone says the 600 CBF isnt that quick but its 79hp and will do about 130+ I think. I doubt ill ever do big mileage. I dunno why Im considering one really.

The finish should be better on the Honda than the Suzuki. Having said that if I had to chose for myself I'd go for the big v twin. You don't need to rev the bollocks off them and the engine braking is brilliant.

I'm thinking if I have Michelle on she has neck issues from a car crash 22 years ago which is why she likes the automatic although even that she complains sometimes if I give it the beans. I want something that can be linear and smooth but will also tear your face off.

They generally have a lot more torque. You don't need to work the engine as much as on a straight 4.

I guess you could trundle around in top on a big twin and not have to even change gear. Only twin I had was a CX500.

I haven´t seen you ride yours Trig, only sitting on it all dressed up for the occasion, probably didn't have any fuel in the tank, yours or the bike. There hasn't been a camera yet invented with a shutter speed fast enough to catch me when I'm riding past... Try this (me on tour in USA)... youtu.be/fShRbF5VsjoProper bike and a proper biker not some fat fag on a biff chariot hairdryer ... Bet yours doesnt polute like Greta Dobsons either

Your gay pink battery powered bicycle you stole from Rishi Sunnak is probably faster than that thing of Boggers. Why you been so racist and homophobic as well why we're on it?

Rishi gave me both bikes as thanks for my essential work through the pandemic and the help I gave the elderly with their bank accounts roofing issues so stop spreading fake news again

Great bike for those roads. I quite fancied one of them but a bit rare now. You could split that trip up if you have the van with you.
