That's exactly the same colour as the one I rode. Great little bikes but as you know so over priced. $5000 less and I would have one in the garage. He really hammered that front brake on. Where is that filmed? Doesn't look like Glorious.

Filmed on Mt Mee.

Pricewise, yeah I was in Pro Ippy the other day. There was a CB400 with ABS for only $11,500 ride away  :o Brand new GS500 can be had for $7k. So what does Honda have that's worth the extra $4,500? Nothing I can see.

Yeah he had a total freak out when he relised where he was going and grabbed a big asss handful of front. No roll on just grab. Yeah my advice don't try going for a filmed shot like that for a long time.
