As an update to this:

Decided against the CBR despite now having the V5

This afternoon I put a deposit down on a 2001 silver Yammy Fazer 600!

Thanks. Picked it up last night and rode home after not riding a bike for 11 years or so!

One word for me - wobbily! At slow speed at least. Pulling out etc was horrible. Bad clutch control, throttle control and braking!

I am sure it will come back but I found myself having to think about changing up and down etc. Do I just drop a gear or rev then drop.... All hard work.

But the bike is super, just me thats crap at the moment!
